ftp: Connect to an FTP server specifying its IP address and port.
$ ftp ${ip_address} ${port}
try on your machine
The command "ftp ${ip_address} ${port}" is used to initiate an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) connection to a remote server.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "ftp" is the command used to start the FTP client program.
- "${ip_address}" represents the IP address of the remote server you want to connect to. This variable needs to be replaced with the actual IP address of the server.
- "${port}" represents the port number of the FTP service listening on the remote server. This variable also needs to be replaced with the appropriate port number.
When you run this command in a terminal or command prompt, it will connect to the specified IP address and port using the FTP protocol. Once connected, you can use a variety of FTP commands to interact with the remote server, such as uploading or downloading files, creating directories, listing files, etc.
