- Thats EASY! You Log ONTO your ISP's SHELL account with whatever Terminal
- program you use, me TERM, you then can use ftp or ncftp, quite simple, done it
- manytimes, so thats how! Maybe he using just ftp and didn't set the program
- to BINARY mode! That will screw the program up getting Downloaded in ASCII
- mode! It's Automatic in ncftp though. This is MY guess at least from the
- message. He wasn't all that specific.
