Answer» Hello, I have a question about DOS and FTP. Years ago I was talking with a Cisco consultant and at one point in the conversation he had me hook up a phone line to my DOS laptop and he typed in a command that brought up a WINDOW that looked almost like interlnk but this one MS uses for FTP to their site. But you could type in any FTP site and it would dial out and go to it with almost no setup save user ID and password. Does this sound at all familiar? I could not tell you the exact version of DOS (6,6.2, 6.22) I don’t think I had DOS 5. I lost contact with the tech who showed me and I was NEVER able to find the command anywhere. It does exist , we USED it and connected to an FTP site without installing an FTP app. If this at all sounds familiar to you I would deeply appreciate some insight to this MYSTERIOUS lost DOS command.
Thanks,
Windows has a native FTP app from the cmd line. Just type FTP at a cmd prompt.Windows 9x had Hyperterminal which may be what was used.
Time dulls the sense of RECALL - you may not have been using MSDOS.
