- Could anyone please send me a help file on how to use the ftp sites? I have
- been connected and looked through one, but have no idea how to read the README
- files (after trying stuff like read, type, list, ed, more, howdy, etc.). Also,
- after the binary file is received how would one then convert it to be usable?
- Muchas Gracias.

- You need few simple commands to do all ftp use: first enter binary (usually
- entering bi is enough) to enter binary transfer mode. Other commands you
- need are just: cd, get, put, mget, and dir/ls.
-
- you can download files using get -command. if you want to read some files,
- the downloaded file can be piped to unix command using | -- for example:
- get RECENT |more (notice, command must be right after |, no spaces
- in between)
-
- put uploads files to ftp-site. read upload information before uploading
- anything.
-
- with mget you can download many files, standard wildcards are in use (i
- quess).
