To use the built in ftp client on windoze, I have the following
file:

open ftp.telusplanet.net
anonymous
myname AT mymaddress
binary
cd pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu

which is mounted as x:\djgppftp.txt.  I then issue the command:

ftp -s:x:\djgppftp.txt

and the system does the rest.  I can then download as I wish with
get and mget commands.

The file structure is as follows:

open pick the appropriate location here
anonymous   (this is the user name for log on)
convention says use e-mail address as password
binary      (lets not foul files by converting line endings)
cd pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu  (or wherever you want)

I actually use 4dos, and the alias "ftpdjgpp" does it all.
