Connect to ftp server:

sftp [email][e-mail][/email]

Enter password, then use 'ls' to list directory contents, 'cd' to change directory, 'get filename' to download a file, 'put filename' to upload.

Check your ftp programme's documentation to ensure you upload and download in binary format, rather than treating the data as text.
