FTP: login from command line?

[Rick Charnes]

With the built-in Win2k FTP, can you log in from the OS command line
(rather than from the FTP prompt or an FTP script file)? I'd like to
pass domain, username and password from the OS command line. Thanks.

Thanks much for this. I don't see any way to include username and
password on the OS command line. Tip #0925 is about how to have FTP
call a script file to send username and password, which is what I'm
trying to avoid.
