Network: Internet: Protocol: FTP: Can you give me an overview of MSDOS 
ftp.exe commands?

By typing '?'
on the command line:

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------

Commands in ftp.exe:

!               delete          literal         prompt          send
?               debug           ls              put             status
append          dir             mdelete         pwd             trace
ascii           disconnect      mdir            quit            type
bell            get             mget            quote           user
binary          glob            mkdir           recv            verbose
bye             hash            mls             remotehelp
cd              help            mput            rename
close           lcd             open            rmdir

--- cut here: end ----------------------------------------------------

Then for every command I repeated the command
? <command>

e.g.

? delete

and

? literal

etc.

--- cut here: begin --------------------------------------------------
