2005-04-29 Thread liu jiachang
Hi, 

I signed up a account to have a ftp space to upload my
web files. And it needs manangered by myself via ftp.
But I have to said that I am a newbie on freebsd.

when I type ftp at my shell, and successed long in ftp
server. But I don't know how to delete directory via
the command of ftp. I had searched some information
about that, and 'man ftp'. But I only know that there
are 'delete(file)' and 'rmdir(empty diretory) command,
I tied to typed 'rm -r Diretory-Name' and 'mv -f
Diretory-Name'(as on my csh), but I faied.

Can you tell me where I can find more information
about the command of ftp(I enjoy command better, not
GUI ftp client if possible)

Best Wish,
Nectar

Once connected via ftp, type help.  That will give you a list of 
commands available.  You can then type things like help rmdir, etc.

Also, if you like the command line, but want a little more functionality 
from your ftp client, check out ncftp...
