We have noticed that very often people install an FTP server (for example vsftpd) instead of installing the ftp command, and then they get the ftp command not found error because they installed an FTP server, not the actual ftp binary.

The most common reason to get this error is pretty simple : the ftp software is not installed on the system. Why does this happen? What is the cause of this error?

Instead of a hostname, you can also use an IP address. In this case, the syntax is pretty easy to understand: we will connect to the server identified by the “hostname” using the FTP protocol through the ftp command.
