- Better use binary mode with with FTP. Time to repost this hint I guess:
-
- ----------------------------CLIP-----------------------------------------------
- machine seq.uncwil.edu login anonymous password mheiskan@vipunen.hut.fi
- macdef init
- cd hp48
- binary
- prompt
-
- ----------------------------CLIP-----------------------------------------------

- Replace my email address with your own, name the file ".netrc" and execute
- "chmod og-rwx .netrc" Then every time you start normal ftp you are
- automatically logged in, put into /hp48 directory and binary mode is set.
- Also prompt mode is turned off so "mget *" gets all without prompting for each
- file. You can add similar macros for other ftp places, but remember to put the
- blank line in between since it marks the end of a macro. The macro doesn't
- work with ange-ftp although you get "file-name-completion" when starting dired
- on /seq.
-
- You might also want to add something like this to the end..
-
- default login anonymous password mheiskan@vipunen.hut.fi
-
- ..and you won't have to type login/password with ftp anymore.
-
- For more info please don't ask me, use the magic words "man ftp" instead :)
