INTRODUCTION

LUThe following booklet is a useful index to many interesting FTP sites.  I prepared it
(:because the thought of senders without receivers galls me.
What is FTP?
Anonymous FTP
)RG is the current Internet protocol for getting files from other computer
(Zsystems.  It
s very simple to use.  Once you know know the basic commands, you can get any
Wfile from any Internet Anonymous FTP site: e.g., the complete works of Shakespeare, the
"complete lyrics from the Beatles
%Sgt. Pepper
s Lonely Hearts Club Band
,  statistics, programs,
(\and a slew of other things.  FTP proves what you
ve always suspected: you need a bigger hard
drive.
*'!procedure for getting an ftp file
GFTP to the site from your system prompt.  You
ll then see a new prompt.

monitors).
YHere
s my real-world task: I decide I want to download my index at the site so that I can

, a space, and then the address I want to
go to, Netcom

*'-procedure for ADDING A GOPHER BOOKMARK (USING
&VERONICA) TO GET an ftp file by gopher
;There
s a really great way to get an FTP file; it
s called 
gopher

ve been to a place once via Gopher, subsequent access is a breeze.  Gopher
