FNOS is a version of KA9Q. Once you are online with it, say over PPP, you can 
run ping, finger, smtp, nntp, telnet, ftp, etc. clients from it's command line. 
Assuming that Winston has started FNOS, and knows the correct name of the ftp 
server that he wants to connect to, all he has to do is "ftp 
ftpserver.some.bbs.com" and use it like any other standard ftp client.

I use ftp from YAN, another KA9Q variant, to transfer QWK packets to and from 
this BBBS bbs using "get grab" and "put grab". I don't know how a Synchronet 
bbs handles ftp.
