In the ftpclinet page, it does say "An entire FTP session (connect,
login, CD, upload or download, logout) can be specified on the shell
command line without using interactive commands or a script", so I
imagine someone should be able to give you an example.
The cURL program (http://curl.haxx.se) can do command line ftp, http[s]
and many more types of transfers from the command line. It only does K4
security for security, though.

The cURL maintainer has added this link to the Resources page of the
cURL website.

I'm curious as to what standards are being followed for these modes?
RFC2228 seems to be only a framework.
I followed the link to http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/telnetd.html, but
casual digging did not come up with much in the way of secure FTP
servers. Are there really many out there??
Cheers!
