Executing Commands

Using JFTP, you can manually execute FTP commands to perform some advanced tasks. These commands include the standard FTP commands that were defined in FTP protocol specification (For e.g. RFC 959) and also your FTP site specific commands. To execute commands, select Remote File -> Execute Command menu item from the menu bar. Select a command from the available list to execute that command. To execute a command that is not listed in the menu, select the sub-menu item Other... . This will open the Execute Command(s) dialog.
