Parameters

remotefile: Specifies the name of the file to be downloaded.

localfile: Specifies a name for the downloaded file.

Usage guidelines

You can perform this operation only after you log in to the FTP server.

To save the downloaded file to the working directory accessed by the ftp command, the localfile argument must specify a file name such as a.cfg. If you do not provide the localfile argument, the downloaded file uses its original name.

To save the downloaded file to some other directory, the localfile argument must specify the target directory plus the file name such as flash:/subdirectory/a.cfg. Otherwise, the command fails to take effect.

# Download file a.txt and save it as b.txt in the working directory accessed by the ftp command.
