Intranet And FTP
Q:I am an employee in BSNL. We work on our intranet with dial-up. We got a new HCL Busybee PC with Windows XP Pro version. The problem is that I am not able to run the FTP command at the DOS prompt mode. The message I keep getting is “FTP is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.” How do I get the command ftp to run at DOS prompt, so that I can send or receive file from our intranet FTP.

Ans:The FTP command requires that either the file FTP.EXE be present in the folder from where the command is run or that the path to that file is present in the PATH environment variable. FTP.EXE is installed by default with every Windows XP installation to the System32 folder in the Windows directory. The reason for the FTP command not working on your computer could be due to this file being corrupt or the file may have been deleted. You can copy this file from any Windows XP PC from the location mentioned earlier to the Syetem32 directory of your machine, and the FTP command will start working again.
