DOS FTP is small, reliable and is automatically available to all windows users. However, we recommend using a dedicated FTP program or even Internet Explorer if you have many files to upload.

Opening DOS FTP

Go to the Start menu - Programs - MS-DOS Prompt , and at the C:\WINDOWS prompt type:
ftp ftp.webtechnepal.com

You should then receive the message similar to this:

Connected to webtechnepal.com.
220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
220-Local time is now 02:05. Server port: 21.
220-IPv6 connections are also welcome on this server.
220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Enter your username as the domain. Press return, and you should see :

331 Password required for domain. Password:

Enter your password here, and you should then see:
230 User domain logged in. Access restrictions apply.

Using DOS FTP

You can now perform file transfers. For instance, typing the command:
send c:\website\index.html

would transfer the file 'index.html' (Which is the first page a browser will look at), which is in the 'website' directory on your C drive, to the server.

You may also need the following commands.
get file.ext - download 'file.ext' from the server to your local machine
dir - directory listing
rmdir dirname - remove a directory called 'dirname' from the server
mkdir dirname - make a directory called 'dirname' on the server
delete file.ext - delete 'file.ext' from the server
cd dirname - change directory on server
lcd dirname - change local directory
