ftp
Opens an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) prompt on your TI-99/4A.
There is a help command inside the ftp prompt. It currently supports the following commands:
open - <hostname> [port] - connect to an ftp server, defaults to port 21
dir [pathname] - list directory
alias: ls
pwd - show current server directory
cd <pathname> - change server directory location
get <filename> [tiname] - retrieve a file
bye - close connection
aliases: exit, quit
Upon opening a connection, you will be prompted for a login name and password.
When using get, the server filename will be transformed into a 10 character TI name. Spaces will be changed to _ and periods . will be transformed to forward slash /
Files received will be saved to the current working directory in Force Command before you entered the ftp prompt.
