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 like
ftp://www.domain.com/stuff/junk.txt
From the command line, use wget.
wget ftp://www.domain.com/stuff/junk.txt
Logging into an FTP, either anonymously or with a username, is generally not necessary to simply download the files.

How do you do FTP?
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.

Which protocols does FTP use?
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) primarily uses two protocols: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for reliable data transfer and control commands. It typically operates over two separate channels: the command channel on port 21 for sending commands and the data channel, which can use a dynamic port for transferring files. Additionally, FTP can operate in two modes—active and passive—which determine how the data connection is established.

How do you run an FTP client behind a firewall?
To run an FTP client behind a firewall, you typically need to ensure that the necessary ports for FTP are open. FTP uses port 21 for commands, and for passive mode, it may require a range of high-numbered ports (usually between 1024 and 65535) for data transfer. Configure the firewall to allow these ports, or set the FTP client to use passive mode, which is often more firewall-friendly. Additionally, consider using secure FTP variants, like FTPS or SFTP, which can help manage connections through firewalls more effectively.

What does ftp enable you to do?
FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, allows you to upload documents or files to an FTP server for sharing, remote access, or file transferring. You can either set up your own computer to be and FTP server or you can use a third party FTP hosting service. You will also want software that will work with the FTP server and your local host to easily transfer files. I recommend a couple different solutions for that. Classic FTP: This software is very functional and allows all the FTP commands you need, such as manual uploading, synchronizing, and viewing local and remote servers. Fling FTP: This is a totally new approach to FTP. It is very automated, which makes it really easy to back up files or upload any changes to the remote server. It is a innovation to FTP, without a doubt. You can also work on it manually too so really I suggest everyone try this software, as you aren't losing any functions, just gaining a ton.
