You can connect to the FTP server from an FTP client. You can use Corel LINUX as both an FTP server and an FTP client.
You can use the local IP address 127.0.0.1 to connect to an FTP server located on the same computer as the FTP client. This is usually done for testing purposes.
To connect to the FTP server
1. Click Application Starter, Applications, Utilities, Console.
2. Type the following command in the Console:
ftp 127.0.0.1
3. Type a valid user name in the Console.
4. Type a valid password in the Console.
Notes
You can disconnect from the server by using the Quit command.
If you want to connect to another computer on the network, you must use the FTP command followed by the IP address of the computer you want to connect to. For information about an IP address, see "IP addresses and routing."
Make sure that the FTP server is running before you try and connect. For information about restarting the FTP server, see "Starting and stopping the FTP server."
