After logging in to
the FTP server, the
user accesses the
remote server from
the command line.
The NCP protocol lets you transfer files and navigate to and from remote eDirectory servers.
To navigate to remote servers, use the following command:
cd //remote server name/volume/directory pathname
File operations such as
get
changing the directory path to that server.

the first entry must be the name of the remote server.
