I'll jump into the discussion.

Task: Copy one file from one remote site to another remote site via ftp.

1. Open Konqueror window
2. Click bookmark for siteSource (assuming already bookmarked)
3. Open another Konqueror window
4. Click bookmark for siteDest (assuming already bookmarked)
5. Drag and drop file from siteSource to siteDest

I usually have two or three Konqueror windows already open on my desktop
anyway so steps 1 and 3 are not really needed.

How would you do that operation from the command line?  (This is
interesting since I am learning about command line ftp now!)
