Hello,

Install ftp rpm for that command.

You'll find it into installation cd/dvd.

Hope this helps...

"Command Not Found" means you don't have "executable ftp" inside /use/bin/ or /usr/sbin/ directory location.

Try to use "which ftp" & show the result. Like mine is having "/usr/bin/ftp"

Hello chetan,

As per your problem first check that ftp package install or not, if no then follow this command:

after this command completion i think your problem will be solved........

As per your command every one said to install ftp package, that is right, but for your understanding, vsftpd is a server package which allows you to create ftp server, where as your command that you are trying to execute is a ftp client which is not a part of vsftpd pkg, 

You can also use any gui client to check your ftp server like filezilla. 

And as suggested by every one to install pkg ftp to get the client installed.

Hope this helps you.

Hello,

Considering you are using 32 bit version, follow below steps to 100% resolution. (except any dependency.....LOL)

Download "ftp" rpm from your console using below command.
wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/i386/Packages/ftp-0.17-51.1.el6.i686.rpm

Then, install it using below command.
rpm -ivh ftp-0.17-51.1.el6.i686.rpm
