The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SUMMARY

The syntax displayed in the Microsoft TCP/IP-32 FTP utility online Help file, MTCPIP32.HLP, is incorrect. According to the Help file, the syntax is: 

   ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g] [host] [-s: filename]
The correct syntax should be: 

   ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g] [-s:filename] [host]
The [host] parameter is at the end of the line after the [-s:filename] parameter, and there is no space after "-s:" and before the filename. If the incorrect syntax is used with the -s parameter, it pops up the ftp window and closes before you can read the error message.
