I want to allow someone to upload files to an FTP server that I have a manager's account on. Here are my two options:

1.Try to create on account for them. What is the FTP-Dos command to create a new user? Does such a command even exist?
2.Change my password temporarily to let him use it, then change it back. So how do I change password using FTP Dos?

Thank you Dos geeks ;)

Does your computer have Windows on it and you're using a command console? Or are you in a pure DOS environment? Not that I have an answer either way, but I have a feeling that this is a necessary step.

Can't you just enable anonymous logins for a while until your friend is done?

In in Windows and am just using the DOS console. The problem is that I'm not the owner of this FTP site. I guess the best thing would be to change my password temporarily, but I don't know how to do that unfortunately.

Sorry dude, no go. I don't think you have the ability to change the password of an ftp account from the client side. You'd have to speak to the FTP administrator.

Wouldn't the ability to create user accounts remotely without administrative access be a problem?
