The following is an example dialog using FTP proxy and DOS.

At the DOS or Command prompt on the workstation type:

C:\users\default>ftp 192.168.1.1
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
220 Service Ready
User (192.168.1.1:(none)):username@ftp.novell.com
331 Password required for username.
Password:
230-Welcome to ftp.novell.com!
230 User username logged in.
ftp> cd incoming
250 CWD command successful.
ftp> PWD
257 "/username/incoming" is current directory.
ftp> PUT c:/atest/slp.doc
200 PORT command successful
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
226 Transfer complete.
ftp: 23552 bytes sent in 0.00Seconds 23552000.00Kbytes/sec.
ftp> quit
221 Thank you. Goodbye!

STEPS
1.IMPORTANT--First FTP to the internal NIC on the BorderManager server (it doesn't need to be an FTP server, but it must be running FTP proxy).
                Syntax: FTP <ipaddress or dns name of the internal NIC on BorderManager running FTP proxy)

2.The server will return the following:
        Connected to 192.168.1.1.
        220 Service Ready
        User (192.168.1.1:(none)):

3.After the colon on the third line type: <username>@<ftp site>

4.If it recognizes the username it will ask for a password. Type the password and your in!

5.The rest is just normal FTP commands. I have included a few basic commands.

        a) CD -         Change Directory. Used to move from one directory to another.(use cd with two dots [cd ..] to back up one directory)
                        Syntax: CD <directory name>
        b) PW - Present Working Directory. Used to see which directory you are currently in.
                        Syntax: PWD
        c) LS - List. Used to list the files in the current directory.
                        Syntax: LS
        d) GET - Download a file from the FTP site.
                        Syntax: GET <full path or just the file name if you are already in that directory)
        e) PUT - Upload a file to the FTP site.
                        Syntax: PUT <full path to the file you want to upload from your workstation)
