  13. Hi Julia!
  14.  
  15. Try a session something like this..
  16.  
  17. $ ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu    #or appropriate address
  18. Login: anonymous             #or FTP for most sites as well
  19. Password: jlinthi1@ua1vm.ua.edu
  20.  
  21. ftp> binary   #unless you're getting ascii files
  22.  
  23. Type set to I
  24.  
  25. ftp> cd /mirrors/msdos/desqview
  26. 200 CWD Command OK
  27.  
  28. ftp> get spawn15.zip yourfilename   #I found that you can leave "yourfilename"
  29.                     # out on the unix system, but I had to force
  30.                                     # a filename on VM so it would go to my
  31.                                     # A disk
  32. 666 Sending Spawn15.zip in BINARY mode, 12345 bytes... took 1.0E+10 seconds,
  33. transfer rate 5.6K/sec
  34.  
  35. ftp> lcd ~wes/msdos/desqview
  36. Local directory changed to /home/ccs-lab1/wes/msdos/desqview
  37.  
  38. ftp> mget dv*         #gets everything starting with the letters dv *
  39. mget dvcron.exe? y   #may not wildcard with a VM system, I've never tried
  40. mget dvthis.com? y
  41. mget dvthat.zip? n
  42.  
  43. ftp> quit
  44.  
  45. That is a rough approximation of a typical FTP session on either the Unix or
  46. VM system here. Your system may vary.
  47.  
  48. Cheers,
