How do I use FTP, Gopher, /
_ __ World Wide Web, and FTP Mail Servers? , Q/

The following instructions are for most Unix based, live InterNet sites.
If you are not on a live wire, you can still access FTP sites. See the
section below on 'How to use FTP Mail Servers'.
If you're on a commercial service, or other non-Unix based system, ask
your sysadmin or service representative for information on obtaining files.
If you are using InterNet software on your own computer via a PPP or SLIP
connection, I assume you don't need my instructions.
How to read a URL (Uniform Resource Locator):
ftp://ftp.ncsu.edu/pub/ncsu/chking/Archive/Funnies
|_| |__________| |_____________________| |_____|
| | | |
Connect Method Host Name Folder Path File Name
Note: The connect method could also be "gopher" or "http" (http indicates
a WWW page). Also, a URL my not have a file name at the end, but may just
point to a folder. It may not even have a folder path, pointing only to a
site.
WWW URLs usually end with a file having a ".html" extension. And Web
pages can also be stored on, and accessed from, FTP and Gopher sites.
Special note: You may occassionally see URLs with a username and password,
or a WAIS URL with additional items. For further information on URLs,
see the CERN info on URLs:

How to FTP:
If you have FTP at your site, and you want to FTP over to say, Chris
King's FTP site, you would, at the prompt:
o Type: ftp ftp.ncsu.edu
Notice that "ftp" was typed twice. The first is the command, the second
is a port of the address. If you're already at an ftp prompt:
Type: open ftp.ncsu.edu
o When the connection opens, it'll ask for your name. This is 'anonymous
FTP' so:
Type: anonymous
__________ ______________
o When it asks for a password, |:""""""""i: | ............ :
|: |: | : | :
Type: Your email address |: >boba |: | : | :
|:________|: | :>@wwa.com | :
o To 'Change Directory' over | ..... :---_____---| :__________| :
to Chris' ASCII folder, type: | '-----" : |..............:
cd pub/ncsu/chking/Archive | @ :"-__-_ |"""""""""""""":
|..........: _-" |..............:
o To list the folder contents, /.::::::::.\ /\ /.::::::::.:::.\
type: ls /____________\ (__) /________________\
o Let's say you want a file called "Funnies", you would:
Type: get Funnies
The file will be transfered to the host you FTP'd from, in the folder
you were in when you started that FTP session.
