- Command line ftp or mac-based ftp? This is what I use for a command line
- session once I've connected to vmd:

- With the latest version of fetch (2.1b4), I would modify the short cut
- to point to the wx directory. Fetch already knows that I want .gif files
- transfered in binary mode, and automatically does so [look under Customize/
- Suffix Mapping...]. The one time I used Fetch to get the images I used
- binary and had no problems with viewing them in Adobe PhotoShop - and
- Photoshop is *very* picky about it's images.
-
- I have written a unix shell script that will determine the latest set of
- images, and retrieve them automatically. If the demand warrants, I can
- post it here.
