I was diddling with some small pics to use as decoration for the ASCII
Art Resources, and I just thought I'd post 'em.
First there are two 3 1/2" disks. One DD and one HD.

And a quick little pic of a Mac and a DOS machine connected.

That's all.

Here's how the disks ended up looking in the ASCII Art Resources file:

And the computers connected together, were used as decoration for the
FTP instructions:
If you have FTP at your site, and you want to FTP over to say, Chris King's
FTP site, on most Unix based InterNet sites, you would:
o Type "ftp ftp.ncsu.edu" at the prompt. 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, |:""""""""|: | .......... :
type your email address. |: |: | : | :
You should be logged in. |: >boba |: | : | :
|:________|: | :>@wwa.com | :
o To 'Change Directory' over | ..... :---_____---| :__________| :
to Chris' ASCII folder, type | '-----" : |..............:
"cd pub/ncsu/chking/Archive". | @ :"-__-_ |"""""""""""""":
|..........: _-" |..............:
o Type "ls". This will list / :::::::: \ /\ / :::::::: ::: \
the contents of the folder. /____________\ (__) /________________\
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.
o When you're done, type "bye" and press the return. It will say goodbye
and quit. If you just want to switch to another site, type "close".
You will be at the ftp prompt, where you can type "open ftp.wwa.com" (or
whatever site).
That's it for my liddle diddles.
