Subject: Appendix A: FTP downloading A. ***** Q: APPENDIX A: Obtaining the Programs by Timo Salmi via InterNet ================================================================ You can obtain the file(s) from garbo.uwasa.fi (193.166.120.5) using the InterNet ftp (file transfer program) with username "anonymous". For a login password use your electronic mail address. If you are using ftp from a VAX/VMS system, set case lower before proceeding. The files are in directory /pc/ts. At the ftp> prompt first type binary (for binary files). To go to the relevant directory apply cd /pc/ts. To see its contents apply ls or dir. To download a file, use get filename or mget filenames. The files have been packed with Unix Zip so you will need PKUNZIP from PKWARE or some other unzip program to unpack them on your PC. The following contains the same information by giving the commands needed for transferring vaasa.inf (contains text on Finland, Vaasa, and University of Vaasa) and tspfon30.zip as an example. In the example its is assumed that you are calling from a Unix system. The usage for a VAX/VMS system is quite similar. It is recommended that you get ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/INDEX.ZIP and ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/INDEXTS.ZIP for more information of what is in the packages. ftp #Invoke the file transfer program open garbo.uwasa.fi #Connect to Garbo at the University of Vaasa anonymous #Use this name to get temporary privileges Give (at least) the first part of your email address as your password cd /pc/ts #Go to the relevant directory dir (or ls -lF) #Directory of available files ascii #vaasa.inf is an ordinary text file get vaasa.inf #Copy the file to your default directory binary #tspfon30.zip is a binary file mget tspfon*.zip #mget allows wildcards close #Terminate the connection quit #Quit the file transfer program --------------------------------------------------------------------
