- You don't use FTPmail like that. You must do the following:
-
- send mail to one of the ftpmail servers (I used ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com)
- and use the ftpmail commands to connect to tybalt.caltech.edu.
-
- There should be a man file on ftpmail for your system but some of
- the most common commands are:
- reply <mailaddress> sets return address (ie your address)
- connect [host [user [pass]]] system you are going to connect to
- chdir PLACE directory to move to
- get FILE name of file to get
-
- check the man file for further info
