In the steps below, hypothetical machine names, file names and userids have been shown to emphasize the point that FTP can be done from several machines with varying architectures and operating systems. This command is to specify which computer you would like to transfer files to or from. Give FTP your username and password on the remote system. Your password will not be displayed when you type it on the screen for security purposes, but one is included here as an example.
