Before downloading a file, we first need to use the lcd command to set the local accept directory location.

Now, we can use command get to download the file, for example:

FTP can also upload files after FTP connection is completed

To put upload a file using a command:

1. put file

The absolute path can be used when the file is no longer in the current local directory:

1. put /path/file

Again, you can upload multiple files:

1. mput *.xls

Step 6: Close the FTP connection

After completing the FTP work, you need to close the connection for security reasons. There are three commands to close a connection:

1. bye

2. exit

3. quit

Any command can disconnect the FTP server and return:

1. 221Goodbye
