Terminating the FTP session and Quitting ftp

You may close an ftp session (connection with a server) and continue to open a connection to another server after.

Two commands can achieve this:

close
-- Terminate the FTP session with the remote server, and return to the command interpreter. Any defined macros are erased.
disconnect
-- A synonym for close.

You may close an ftp session (connection with a server) and quit the ftp application at the same time.

Two commands can achieve this:

bye
-- Terminate the FTP session with the remote server and exit ftp.
