A drawback of using FTP from the command line is that it lacks user-friendly features, making it less accessible for those unfamiliar with command-line interfaces. Additionally, FTP transmits data, including credentials, in plain text, posing security risks. This can expose sensitive information to potential interception, especially over unsecured networks. Finally, command-line FTP can be cumbersome for managing large file transfers or complex directory structures compared to graphical FTP clients.

I would try 'exit'.
All files in a directly can be copied without copying the sub directories using FTP by first highlighting them. This allows a user to specifically select only the files they want to transfer. If you are doing this via the command line interface using the mget command with a mask (such as *) will transfer all files except subdirectories.
BYE = Disconnect the FTP session
bye or quit

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.

Remote FTP (File Transfer Protocol) allows users to transfer files between a local computer and a remote server over the internet. This protocol enables users to upload, download, and manage files on the server using FTP clients or command-line tools. Mail FTP, on the other hand, refers to the use of FTP to send files via email, allowing users to share large files that may not be suitable for direct email attachments. Both methods facilitate efficient file sharing and management in various digital environments.
To get a list of FTP sites, you can use online directories that compile FTP servers, such as FTPSearch or similar websites that categorize FTP sites by content type. Additionally, you can use command-line tools or FTP clients to search for available servers. Searching for specific file types or topics on search engines along with the term "FTP" can also yield various FTP sites. Always ensure to follow safe browsing practices and check the legality of accessing the files.
