Networks : Terminating an FTP session

When you are finished running an FTP session from the command line, which command will properly terminate your FTP session?
1. >>BYE
2. FTP
3. EXIT
4. PUT
Explanation : FTP can be initiated from a DOS, Windows 9x, or Windows NT/2000/XP command prompt provided that a connection to a network or the Internet is established first. To begin an FTP session, you first type FTP from the command line to get an FTP> prompt. To establish a connection with an FTP server at 135.61.85.1, from the FTP> prompt, type the following:
OPEN 135.61.85.1
To terminate an FTP session, simply type BYE from the FTP> prompt.

The PUT command is used after you have logged on and want to copy a file from your computer to the remote computer.

The EXIT command is used to terminate a DOS session.
After you are at the FTP> prompt, you would not use the FTP command again.
