To connect to a website type

after u connected to the ftp server then u can use the following codes to get what u want :)
?: to request help or information about the FTP commands
ascii: to set the mode of file transfer to ASCII
(this is the default and transmits seven bits per character)
binary: to set the mode of file transfer to binary
(the binary mode transmits all eight bits per byte and thus provides less chance of a transmission error and must be used to transmit files other than ASCII files)
bye: to exit the FTP environment (same as quit)
cd: to change directory on the remote machine
close: to terminate a connection with another computer
close brubeck closes the current FTP connection with brubeck,
