If nothing happens after a minute or so, hit control-C to return
to your host system's command line. But if it has worked, type
anonymous
and hit enter. You'll see a lot of references on the Net to
"anonymous ftp." This is how it gets its name -- you don't really have
to tell the library site what your name is. The reason is that these
sites are set up so that anybody can gain access to certain public
files, while letting people with accounts on the sites to log on and
access their own personal files. Next, you'll be asked for your
password.
As a password, use your e-mail address. This will then come
up:
230 Guest connection accepted.
Restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

Now type
ls
and hit enter.
You'll see something awful like this:
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.

Ack! Let's decipher this Rosetta Stone.
First, ls is the ftp command for displaying a directory (you can
actually use dir as well, but if you're used to MS-DOS, this could lead
to confusion when you try to use dir on your host system, where it won't
work, so it's probably better to just remember to always use ls for a
directory while online).
The very first letter on each line tells you whether the listing is
for a directory or a file. If the first letter is a ``d,'' or an "l", marketing strategy oxon
it's a directory. Otherwise, it's a file.
The rest of that weird set of letters and dashes consist of "flags"
that tell the ftp site who can look at, change or delete the file.
You
can safely ignore it. You can also greenville marketing strategy ignore the rest of the line until you
get to the second number, the one just before the date. This tells you
how large the file is, in bytes. If greenville marketing strategy the line is for a directory, the
number gives you a rough indication of how many items are in that
directory -- a directory listing of 512 bytes is relatively small. Next
comes the date the file or directory was uploaded, followed (finally!) marketing strategy oxon by
its name.
Notice the README.POSTING file up at the top of the directory.
Most
archive sites have a "read me" document, which usually contains some
basic information about the site, its resources greenville marketing strategy and how to use them.
Let's get this file, both for the information in it and australia marketing strategy to see how to
transfer files from there to here. At the ftp> prompt, type
get README
and hit enter. Note that ftp sites are no different from Unix sites in
general: they are case-sensitive. You'll see something like this: greenville marketing strategy naperville marketing strategy
