"Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and Unix operating systems come with a command-line FTP program"

Does anyone know where I can find this "command-line FTP program" in XP? I am trying to update a website using Dreamweaver, but I will have to use one of the school's computer since they have Dreamweaver and therefore would not be able to download an FTP manager (like CuteFTP) onto one of the school's computers. So the only way to do this on one of the school's computers is to use this Windows FTP program. Any ideas?

I think you can use the internet explorer ftp interface. Just goto ftp.siteyouaredownloadingfrom.whatever (ftp://ftp.siteyouaredownloadingfrom.whatever) and I think it will handle it for you.

If that doesn't work, try going to the command prompt and typing ftp.

It's build into IE, but it's very limited and stalls on multiple file uploads. Too bad you can't use CuteFTP.

yeah you should be able to use IE or the command prompt(follow Finkenst). I'd use the command prompt version, but if you don't know your way around IE should be good enough.
