- I use a unix machine to ftp to various sites.
- My problem is that while I am proficient at getting
- what I want from where it is at, I am not truely versed in ftp commands.
- As examples: I do not know how to read a file that is at another
- site other than to transfer the file to my own site, exit ftp,
- and then read the file. Kind of awkward.
- Also, I do not know how to change my home directory or check
- my own computer directories when I am linked to another site.
- The ftp help command is somewhat useful, but it is lacking;
- assuming that there are more commands than those listed.
- Reply direct to me if you wish. I am looking for files, groups,
- BOOKS, or any other info that is readily available that I have
- obviously overlooked.
-
- Keep flames to yourselves if I have tread on something/someone
- mistakenly. If we were all perfect and all knowing we wouldn't
- need the internet.
- I don't have the time to read comments from petty individuals.
