You can test FTP on your server from the command line of your home workstation. On a windows computer browse to Start >> Run >> cmd and enter the command "ftp". This will change the command promt to:
ftp> At the ftp prompt, enter the command:
open my.domain.com (repace my.domain.com with the name or IP address of your FTP server)
You will then be prompted for your FTP user/pass information. If you are logging into an anonymous FTP session, enter anonymous for the username, and no password.
You can then type the command "help" to display a list of FTP commands.
Notes:
-When transfering files, it is important to use the correct mode to avoid corrupting the data. 'ASCII' mode is the default mode, and is used when transfering text files. The mode must be changed to 'bin' when transfering graphics (jpg, gif, etc)
-Directories cannot be deleted unless all files contained in the directory are deleted first.
