Can somebody tell me how to create an ftp server using only cmd and also how to configure it using only cmd
The command prompt ftp in windows is a client ftp. You can't use it like a ftp server. You need an ftp server software. You can probably find one for free online.

How can I access termux files using ftp? I wants to write files using ftp, so i can use good editor for edit files.
My question is how can I set up my ftp server in termux?
You have to start ftp server in termux, for starting server you have to use tcpsvd for binding port.
tcpsvd -Ev localhost 8023 ftpd /sdcard
Now open ftp client or go to browser with ftp://localhost:8023
It will show all sdcard content, use more ftpd option to explore ftp.
I need to connect to a host with username, password, implicit TLS encryption and port number to download files to a folder daily on windows server standard. Is there a third party command-line application that I could download, install and use for this (preferably free)? I'm not absolutely sure if this could be done with Windows ftp and if it can, could it be done in batch file?
I am trying NcFTP but I'm not sure if it supports encryption either.
I was given specific credentials, I have no control over the server. I have only instructions on how to access and download the files with FileZilla client over TLS. I need to schedule a routine that does this job for me since I don't want to manually do this every day. I can manage myself on this I only need a tool that could do this job over command-line.
You can use WinSCP, it supports both scripting and TLS/SSL.
See automating file transfers to FTP server.
A simple batch file to download files over an explicit TLS/SSL (note the ftpes://) with WinSCP looks like:
winscp.com /log=c:\path\ftp.log /command ^
"open ftpes://user:password#example.com/" ^
"get /home/user/* c:\destination\" ^
"exit"
You can have the batch file generated by WinSCP GUI for you.
For scheduling, simply use the Windows Scheduler.
For details see scheduling file transfers to FTP server.

Similarly for an upload: Schedule an automatic FTP upload on Windows with WinSCP
You can use sftp to get files. But you need to have an SSH server installed on remote host (OpenSSH is free).
Then you can use putty tools (free) psftp.exe or pscp.exe to upload/download files in encripted format.

I want to connect to the FTP server ftp://trmmopen.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/merged/3B42RT from my command prompt in Windows 7.
It's always showing not connected.
I am running my PC behind proxy. I came to know about port error. Followed this solution here about port forwarding but still no result.
Windows built-in command-line ftp.exe client does not support connecting over a proxy. It also supports an active mode only, what makes it difficult to connect though proxy anyway (even if some transparent proxy solution is used).
You have to use a 3rd party command-line FTP client that supports a passive mode and a proxy.
For example with WinSCP FTP client, you can use the following batch file (.bat):
WinSCP.com /command ^
"open ftp://anonymous:dummy#trmmopen.gsfc.nasa.gov/ -rawsettings ProxyMethod=3 ProxyHost=proxy ProxyUsername=username ProxyPassword=password" ^
"cd /pub/merged/3B42RT" ^
"ls" ^
"exit"
See a guide to scripting with WinSCP and a guide for converting Windows FTP script to WinSCP script.
The above code is for an HTTP proxy. If you use a different proxy type, alter the ProxyMethod setting accordingly. See https://winscp.net/eng/docs/rawsettings
Though easier is to configure the connection in WinSCP GUI and then have it generate a script template for you.

Furthermore, how do you check a server to see if an ftp server is running on it?
Consider the following steps
Press Win+R
type inetmgr and press enter
it opens IIS
expand the list and if you find "FTP Sites" folder available then FTP is installed in your system
to check if ftp server is running or not expand "FTP sites" folder
u will find a sub directory "Default FTP Site".
right click on that subdirectory and you will find 'start','stop' and 'pause' options available there
if start option is disabled then ftp server is running on your system
you can also start it if not already started
To install FTP. just go to Add/Remove windows component and re install IIS with FTP services and you r done
to check ftp if ftp server is running or not on a remote computer
open your cmd and type ftp and press enter. then use command "open 172.25.65.788" or u can use your own ip address. if it asks for username and password that means server is running.
Just open your favorite ftp client, specify server url and click connect. If connection successful then ftp is installed and started on a server.
You can do even from windows console, just type something like (open Run dialog by pressing Win+R): cmd /K ftp {serverurl}
