.. if you have a www-browser (xmosaic on UN*X, Netscape or NSCA Mosaic on
Windows [I like Netscape much better!!!]) you should enter an URL of the
form <ftp://ftp.destination.server> (e.g. "ftp://ftp.luth.se", where the
second "ftp" is part of the name!). Do it exactly this way "ftp://"...
(no angle brackets!). Once you entered a correct ftp-server which has to
be a so-called "anonymous" ftp-server, the rest is just a matter of point
and click with your favorite pet.

Best,
