FTP and Telnet FROM iPhone
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I'm looking for a ported binary that would allow me to FTP and Telnet from my iPhone to a remote server.
I know these protocols are not secure, and SSH/SCP are much "better", but I do need to occasionally FTP to a server that doesn't support SCP.

Are there any packages I can download or install from AppTapp in 1.1.1 or 1.1.2?
I tried Erica's Utilities but they don't seem to have either FTP or Telnet.

Thanks

In Installer, go to 'Network' category and install ncftp

you will need the VT100 terminal installed to use this.

standard ftp commands apply.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Do you know which directory ncftp installs the ftp command into?
I tried to run it in both zsh and bash, both of which returned the "ftp: command not found" error.

Thanks

the command is not ftp - you actually have to type in ncftp to run it.

Ah, that would explain it - thanks!
