Running a ftp server on my PC.
I opened Windows Explorer and navigated to: ftp://127.0.0.1/
I connect and the servers root directory files are displayed, great.

However, from cmd prompt I am unable to successfully ftp into the server.

C:\>ftp ftp.localhost
Unknown host ftp.localhost.
ftp> bye

C:\>ftp ftp://localhost
Unknown host ftp://localhost.
ftp> bye

C:\>ftp ftp://127.0.0.1
Unknown host ftp://127.0.0.1.
ftp>

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
