    Browsing ftp site from the command line

    Is there a way to browse the files and directories on an ftp site from the command line similar to how you browse your local directories and files?

    Just do:

    Code:
    ftp yoursite.com
    And login. It's a basic ftp client. Type ? or help, for help.

    You can also install something like ncftp, which is considerably more powerful command line ftp program.
