- Let me once again draw the gentle Garbo users' attention to using
- your own id as the password in your FTP downloads from us. See the
- instructions below which are a part of the prerecorded set I send to
- users on request.
-
- Do not use passwords like "guest" or "-" or "" or "anonymous" or
- whatever. You have to use your own id. You don't actually have to
- take the trouble of typing your entire email address, the first part
- of the id is sufficient, because the log program will capture the
- name of the computer where you are calling from.
-
- For example, I would use ts@uwasa.fi or simply my local id which is
- ts. (But don't copy this as such. Use your own id, not mine :-).
-
- All the best, Timo
