Subject: FTP correction
Cc: pmanchester@ccmail.sunysb.edu
Jeff Burka dropped a couple of stitches in his generous effort to unlock the mysteries of FTP for new love-hounds. First was a simple typo in providing the site address: hayes.ims.alaska.edu (he left the final 'a' off alaska). Second, when you get the HAYES.IMS.ALASKA.EDU> prompt, enter USER ANONYMOUS, not just ANONYMOUS. The rest of the directions are right on, and I learned something new myself--the mget command that allows wildcards. Thanks! One suggestion I would add concerning his properly emphasized reminder to make it a BINARY transfer: for safety, you can set FTP in binary mode from the start by invoking it with that switch, i. e. enter FTP /BINARY. ..........................................................................
