First you have to mount the AVFS file system, usually with mountavfs. If
you want to do anonymous ftp, you may directly cd to /#ftp:hostname in
the AVFS base directory (usually $HOME/.avfs). Example:

# cd $HOME/.avfs/#ftp:ftp.funet.fi

If you want to use a specific user account, you first need to tell AVFS
which password to use. The command "ftppass" can be used for that. The
argument of the command is the user and host name (something like
"user-/[email protected]"). It will ask for the password. After that, you can cd
to /#ftp:user-/[email protected] Example:

# ftppass user-/[email protected]
# Password: ....
# cd $HOME/.avfs/#ftp:user-/[email protected]

In any case, ftp support is currently read only.
