"Not connected" message when any command is entered after FTP login

Question

I am trying to use FTP from command prompt.So when I enter

c:\> ftp www.test.com

it waits for a while and changes to ftp>.

So I thought that the connection was successful even though it did not ask me for a username and password.

Now when I enter any command in this like ls or dir it gives a message saying "Not Connected".

I am not sure why it is saying that, is it that even if the connection fails the command prompt changes to ftp>?

In the /etc/vsftpd.conf file uncomment the following:

• local_enable=YES
• write_enable=YES
• anon_upload_enable=YES

Restart the FTP Service using the command: - sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
