Using get command to retrieve an exact filename where the FTP directory is deliberately made invisib (3 posts)

  I am accessing an FTP site where one is required to add the exact filename into a GET command window to retrieve the file - the directory is made invisible to browsers therefore you cannot click on a file name or drag/drop. The GET command is the only way to do it.
  I have a greyed out get command when I reach the correct directory where the file is located - I know I put it there.

  I recall many years ago one could activate a window for a GET command but now this option does not seem to be accessible - or I have missed the obvious; anyone here know the secret.

  Hi,

  Holding down the Shift key changes the Get command to Get Other…, which prompts you for the name of the file to download.

  Thanks,
