ftp command

[Dennis Malen]

Before I create a filePro program that can FTP to a winders server and am 
trying to confirm how I change the remote windows directory to "Documents 
and Settings".

I have combined the information Ken Brody provided and googled this issue.

What I have found is that the "lcd" command is for the local box (AIX UNIX 
in my case). CD is used to change the remote directory. That being the case 
I have tried many variations. From my google reseaerch it appears that the 
following should work:

cd "c:\Documents and Settings"

In every variation I used I get an error telling me the directory can not be 
found.

To reconfirm: I am experimenting from the command line in AIX UNIX before I 
create filePro code.

I am doing the following successfuly:

ftp IPAddress
login name
password
ascii

Here's the problem:
cd "c:\Documents and Settings" (or some variation thereof)

I get an error that the directory cannot be found.

Does anyone have any ideas?
