Open Terminal. At the % prompt, type FTP.

The promt will change to

ftp>

Type

open followed by the name of your FTP server

You will be prompted for your username and password (which will not
display as you type it), and then you should be in.

You can type

man FTP

at the % prompt for more information (the manual).

When looking for this kind of information on Google, you will get
better results if you do not include "Mac" or "OS X" in your search
terms. Just search for something like "unix terminal FTP." Not much
that is Mac-specific here.

Tip -- put square brackets [ ] around the OT in your subject line. DW
tip -- if you're not already using the Fireworks Edit tools in the
Property Inspector, they are worth a look. Very handy for quick changes
on the fly without having to switch over to Fireworks. I don't know if
this is MX only or MX 2004.
