Has anyone used the built in ftp command line app?

I'm disappointed there isn't a built in ftp client in the new Windows
Explorer. It would have been mighty convenient.
 
Hi!

There is a ftp client in Windows Vista Explorer; there is exactly the same
in Windows XP.

Start Explorer to explore your hard disks.
On the first line, just write:

ftp://abc:xyz@yourftpserver

where

abc is your user id
xyz is your password
yourftpserver is the name of your ftp server

You can even drag and drop your files betwen your local drives and your ftp
server.
It works very well.

Have a nice day! Roger
 
Thank you very much. I wonder how many other useful things I've missed
in XP let alone Vista.....

Well it would be really good if it worked but I can't get it to work on
XP or Vista. I think you are on the right track and it is probably a
syntax thing. "Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed
the file name correctly and that you have permission to access this
folder." In the folders treeview there is a new entry with the ftp site
address branching off of Internet Explorer.

I am sure of the username and password as I used these to test the
connection from an ftp client.
