chdir <directory name> changes our directory
dir lists all of the files in your directory
get <filename> transfers files from the remote FTP host to your local hard drive
mget <filename> transfers multiple files (using wild cards) from the remote FTP host to your local hard drive
mkdir <directory name> creates a directory
mput <filename> transfers multiple files (using wild cards) from your local hard drive to the remote FTP host
put <filename> transfers files from your local hard drive to the remote FTP host
prompt toggles confirmation prompts when using mput and mget commands
pwd displays the current directory on the Yahoo! GeoCities server
quit exits the FTP client
rmdir <directory name> removes a directory
? lists various commands
? <command> lists simple help for that <command>
