# I do not own boot camp
Nor do I have windows on a separate partition.

You are a silly, SILLY man.

# no you minge
open a shell/terminal on the mac

presumably running something bsd'ish they have something resembling a cli

be a hero, use the command line

# Good question, actually, how do you open a shell prompt on OS X?
I get the impression from this page that there's an equivalent built-in FTP command to the windows one:
www.ss64.com/osx/ftp.html
I have never used OS X, though.
Edit:

"terminal.app" is the answer, apparently.

# I don't know what I'm doing well enough to risk this..
I've broken several computers in my days, and I haven't paid this one off yet.

I think I'll just fiddle with some settings and/or give up in a bit =]

If I was more confident, I might give it a go, but I'm feeling a bit like a pansy tonight =D

Cheers for the help though

# Open up Terminal.app...
... and discover you've got a fully-fledged UNIX system already installed?
