- Tell us the name of the file; you can download files from the incoming
- directory by cd'ing there if you know their exact name (and thus do not
- need to read the directory entries, which you will be unable to do!). For
- instance, you can download the unofficial FAQ by downloading the file
- '386bsd.FAQ'. Not that you must cd to the incoming directory before you
- can do this.
