Most Linux systems will have ftp available as a command line option. Try entering "man ftp" in terminal mode to make sure you have it, and to learn the various ftp commands. Typically, you will have to know the ftp site name and the user name and password assigned to you for that ftp site. You will start the ftp session by typing something like: ftp www.mysite.net At the ftp prompt, enter your user name and password, if the server requests that you sign in anonymously place "anonymous" or "ftp" in the username field and leave the password field blank. Then use the ftp commands (e.g 'ls' 'put' 'get' 'cd' 'chmod') to transfer and maintain files at your site. If you prefer a GUI interface, there may be some X Windows ftp clients available for download. Google 'ftp Linux' and see what you can find. I prefer the plain command line version. Much quicker and easier once you learn the commands.
BYE = Disconnect the FTP session
bye or quit
by using BYE
There are several ways to do it, but as FTP directories are generally accessible from a web interface, it is easier to do it that way. In a web browser, enter a URL likeftp://www.domain.com/stuff/junk.txtFrom the command line, use wget.wget ftp://www.domain.com/stuff/junk.txtLogging into an FTP, either anonymously or with a username, is generally not necessary to simply download the files.
A number of people in answering a similar question are saying to use the BYE command
IPCONFIG and PING
I would try 'exit'.

FTP or File Transfer Protocols allow the transfer of files from a host machine to another machine over a network e.g. the internet. The user logs on to the remote site using a user name and password. Basic commands include "cd pathname" to change directories to that specified by the pathname. "Dir" is the directory that lists the files on the remote machine. "Get" locates the file to be transferred. "Put" transfers the file. "Help" explains an individual selected command, and "quit" closes the remote session and terminates the FTP.
FTP stands for 'File Transfer Protocol'. Its function is to allow uploading and downloading of any files on networks via the PUT and GET commands. Anytime a file is downloaded on the internet, FTP is used.
A prominent example is the FTP client program.
