how to connect to an ftp server? : <p>How do I connect to an FTP server using a command prompt?</p>

<p>The ftp site I am trying to connect to is </p>

<p>ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/</p>

<p>I used to be able to type in ftp ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/ in the command prompt and it would challange me for a username and password</p>

<p>but now it says unknown host.</p>

<p>I can still get to it from a browser </p>

<p><a href="ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/</a></p>

<p>Is there something I am missing?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
