Thanks, Mikkel. I looking for a way of getting auto-completion according to history. For instance, one types
ftp ftp.in.nowhere.com
and when, afterwards, one types
ftp ftp.i
the mechanism of auto-completion should write
ftp ftp.in.nowhere.com
for you.
Is it clear now?

Google is your friend.
The up arrow key will cycle through bash commands in history.
Contol+r start typing command will search bash history and autocomplete for you.
See http://tinyurl.com/7xaxn which was found from http://tinyurl.com/3sbp5.
Another of my favorites especially when I can't remember the command I typed a long time ago, goes something like this (assuming I want the command related to a keyword, and my memory is -- not surprisingly -- bad on the syntax):
$ history | grep keyword
Here are a couple of examples of output from that command: 190 keyword barney fred 201 keyword -v fred wilma
then if I want to run the second of those two commands that I previously ran, I can do so simply by typing:
$ !201
Hope this helps, Clint
