FTP without FTP client on windows XP

I am sure everyone has used FTP and FTP Clients one time or the other. what happens when you want to connect to a ftp and dont have a ftp client, i just got to know of connecting to FTP with DOS, so i am sharing the info

1) Open a command windows (start->run_.cmd)
2) Type ftp
3) Type open ftp.ftp.somesite.com
4) Type username: ftpuser
5) Type the password: ftppassword
6) Type “dir” to see the content
7) Type “binary” Or "ASCII" to change to download Type
8) Type: “get filename” to download

also note that the filenames are case sensitive here so be careful.
