- Have you used ftp, and do you know how to navigate directories from within
- ftp?
-
- The anonymous ftp site that I attempt to keep clean is at
-
- ccosun.caltech.edu
-
- To log on to any anonymous ftp site, at the "username" prompt type "anonymous"
- and at the "password" prompt type your full E-mail address. (This can be
- challenging at times, since usually you can't see what you're typing :)
- Thereafter, navigate the directories and GET the files as you desire. Note
- that it is usually important to issue a "binary" command before getting files
- which are specifically for the 64/128.
-
- On my site, the relevant directory tree is found under /pub/rknop. I think I
- have a (somewhat outdated) list of files somewhere on the site, and will
- attempt to post it here soon.
