I found some info on google:

                      Getting Files From a Remote Host

                      Once connected, you will be at the ftp> prompt. You
may have to move around in the directory
                      structure of the remote host. To get a listing of the
current directory, use the command ls (just like
                      in Unix). To get a long listing, use the ls -l
command. To move to a different directory, use the cd
                      command. Once you get to the place where the file you
wish to retrieve is, use the command get to
                      copy the file from the remote host to your Unix
directory:

                             get filename

problem is that every time I try to cd into the remote directory I get...

ftp> cd /locbudrv
550 /locbudrv: No such file or directory.
