 PS!!! 155.198.1.40 is more reliable!!!         - (uni-paderborn, GERMANY)

- to find the numbered address of the FTP site, use the following command,
  while inside FTP:  ftp> !host FTP-address [CR]  i.e. "!host cs.bu.edu"

DOWNLOADING FILES, Instructions:    [CR]= carriage return/return/enter
--------------------------------
1)  Go to the directory where you want the files to be downloaded.
2)  ftp [CR].
3)  open {ftp address} [CR].                 i.e. "open ftp.uni-kl.de" [CR]
    OR use the (IP) number address, NOT both!
4)  "Name": anonymous [CR].
5)  "Password": {full e-mail name/address}.  i.e. "[email-masked]" [CR]
6)  use "cd" to access the appropriate directory.  i.e.  "cd pub/atari" [CR]
7)  bin [CR].    (set `binary` transfer mode)
8)  hash [CR].   (shows 'hash` signs (#####...) when transferring data)
9)  get {filename} [CR].      i.e.  "get rename.lzh" [CR]
10) mget [CR] to get several files at once.
    i.e. "mget syst12.Z fixdsk.arc icon4.zip" [CR]
11) prompt [CR] to download several files with "mget" without having
    to reply "y" for each file when asked "get {filename}?".
12) quit [CR] to end FTP session and go back to UNIX
13) close [CR] to close the FTP site you're currently on, so that another
    site can be opened without having to set bin, hash, prompt etc. again.

- bin, hash, prompt will be turned on/off each time it's typed!
- Be sure to check if all modes are set correctly (especially 'bin')!
- stat [CR] or; status [CR] will show all modes and where you are connected.
- Most files are compressed. Use an appropriate program on your computer on
  which the programs were intended, or in UNIX .......
- uncompress [CR] if ".Z" file
- uudecode [CR] if ".uu" file
- very often, files are still compressed in another format after
  uncompressing .Z and/or .uu.
  Use the appropriate decompression program for this.

- ls [CR] lists files (shows all files in current directory).
- pwd [CR] shows path.  i.e.  /pub/mirrors/umich/atari/utilities
- If down-loading several files with similar names use "*".
    i.e.   "mget *sys" [CR]  (will get f.x.; datasys, lm23isys,
    xlinksys etc...) (ALL files with "sys" in their names)
    i.e.   "mget *.lzh" [CR] (will get f.x.; stest.lzh, dw3.lzh,
    xlba.lzh etc...) (ALL files ending with ".lzh")
    i.e.   "mget * [CR]  (will get ALL files in the current directory!)
- If your computer doesn't have a disk drive you can "remote login" to
  another  computer (use an other terminal's disk drive);
- rlogin {computer name} [CR].    i.e.  "rlogin hnoss" [CR].
- You can now access the disk just as if it was on your own machine.
- eject [CR] to eject disk on disk-drives without "eject button"

TRANSFERRING FILES TO MS-DOS DISKS
----------------------------------
Part of this is dependent on you having the GNU msdos-utilities available
at your site. If you don't, ask your local system operator how to transfer
files to/from MSDOS disks.

- mcopy {filename} a: [CR] i.e.   mcopy microtcx.zoo a:
                           i.e.   mcopy microtcx.zoo icone.lzh shblr.arc a:

- mdir [CR] to show disk-directory/space left.

- fdformat -d [CR] to format an MS-DOS 3.5" 1.44mMb disk ("-d" for MS-DOS)

- fdformat -l -d [CR] to format an MS-DOS 720Kb 3.5" disk ("-l" for
  "low density")

- mcopy a:{filename on disk} {copy filename} [CR] to get a file from
  disk to computer.         i.e. "mcopy a:dlist.txt test1.zip"

- mdel a:{filename} [CR] to delete a file on disk.  i.e. "mdel a:dslist.txt".

- eject [CR] to eject disks from disk-drives that don't have "eject buttons".
