Thread: FTP and Telnet using linux

can i anybody tell me how can i use FTP and Telnet services In linux?

Which distribution do you use?

Currently i m using
Mandriva Linux distribution

Regarding FTP, you could use FireFTP extension available in FireFox. No idea about telnet clients for mandriva.

i know some FTP clients which work fine on ubuntu not sure if they will work for you or not but as per my knowledge they should work fine on your linux you can just try them once

• kasablanca
• ftpcube
• gftp
• iglooftp

if you are comfortable with shell then u can use these commands directly

Code:

 telnet www.google.com

Code:

 ftp username@server

get/mget to download files.
put filename to upload file
all other shell commands work

gftp is a good alternative for ftp with GUI
