FTP resolve IP address

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this! (Actually I can but that’s a different story.)

An associate was trying to get the IP address of a site she had just FTP through the browser to.

Fairly simple.

• open cmd window.
• ping ftp://somesite.com
• resolves the IP addresss dotted notation.

One thing to note is it will time out but who cares! We got the IP address we were looking for. Pretty smart!

Thanks Bruce!
