For this exercise, you could use the file you just transferred and copy
it back to your local system with a new name.
Enter the GET command followed by the name of the remote file you want to
transfer and then the filename you want to copy into on your local
system. For example:
ftp> GET readme1 README2
200 PORT command okay.
