FTP command question

[fbsd_user]

I have an LAN FBSD box which has  anonymous FTP server installed
from /stand/sysinstall.
I an trying to login to it from the FBSD gateway.
I use this command ftp -av 10.0.10.7 which is the ip address of the
target FBSD box.
This just hangs and does nothing. Ctrl + c  exits ftp and returns
the command prompt.

What is the correct syntax of the ftp command to open a interactive
ftp session
with the LAN FBSD box's anonymous FTP sever at ip address 10.0.10.7?

Thanks and Marry Christmas
