Re: Whats a good FTP program for OSX
You can try Fetch also.
When you type ftp, then what do you do?

| Edit: I like Quarex's explanation much better...
BTW: Also handy is the curl (-O) command for fetching files via http or ftp if you already know the full path.

After typing ftp, it should look like this:
ftp>
Type open ftp site it will connect and prompt for a username, then password. Once you are logged in, the fun begins. Commands are similar to UNIX, type help or here are a few I will share with you.
ls list files in directory
cd dir change directory to dir
pwd tells you your CWD (Current Working Directory)
get file Downloads file from server
send file Uploads file to server
close Terminate your session.
I find this built-in client very handy for quick transfers, don't have the overhead of a GUI if you know exactly what you're sending/recieving. For browsing FTP sites, I recommend NetFinderX. I'm too tired to get a link, just search it on VersionTracker

Buy a 486-33 so you can reboot faster.

| I forgot to add........
When you see ANY command and want to know more......in the terminal window, type "man [command]" without the quotes and brackets of course.
Typing "man ftp" for instance, brings on pages and pages of ftp commands. It's the same for any other command.
If you're bored, try "man ifconfig" it's a page turner.

| Besides the always helpful man pages, ftp has its own little built-in help system too.
