ftp server.domain.com
<you will be prompted for the username and password>
cd directory/you/want
get file_you_want


I'm not quite sure the way binary and ascii mode work in ftp, but if your file is corrupted when you download it, try either typing binary or ascii before you run the get command.

i think it's something like, at the command prompt:

ftp (to start the program)
open your.site.here
(login with name and password if prompted)
ls (to get list of files)
cd <directory name> (to change to another directory)
lcd /your/local/dir/here (to change where the file is downloaded to)
get /path/to/filename (to download a file)
help (to get a list of commands)
quit (when yer done)

I'll try that people and let you how I make out.
thanks :D

if o understood correctly, you what to send files to your machine at home by ftp, if this is you problem, all you have to do is edit the /etc/inetd.conf and uncoment 1 of the 3 ftp's, and deny anonymous logins. In your school you do a login from the ftp to your home and upload/download the files, and that's hit
Hope that i helped, Hasta!! :cool:
