WORKAROUND

  1. At a command prompt, type ftp URL, and then press ENTER.


URL is the URL of your FTP site.

  1. Type lcd d:\, and then press ENTER.


D:\ is the destination directory where you want to copy the file.

  1. Type get FileName, and then press ENTER.


FileName is the name of the file that you want to download from the FTP site.
