The File Transfer Protocol is used for retrieving files from FTP servers.

Syntax

ftp://user:password@host:port/cwd1/cwd2/../cwdN/name:type=typecode

Note

In general users would not be giving out user names and passowrds. The typical form uses "anonymous" as the user name and an "email address" as the password. For most FTP sites all you need to supply is the file's protocol, host, and file address, and the software takes care of the rest.

In this Exercise you will learn to use File Transfer Protocol to retrieve files.
