If you do not specify host, you must use the open command to connect to a remote host
system.
The following command starts FTP, turns on verbose mode, turns off interactive prompting, and
establishes a connection to a host system named warehs1:
TACL 5> ftp -v -i warehs1
NOTE:
Ask your system manager for the name of an appropriate TCP/IP process to serve as

ftp>
You can enter any of the FTP client commands to perform file operations.
