If you don't have FTP access or you don't want to wait to connect
to the FTP site you can use FTP-Mail. Just follow the steps below.
1. Start a message to FTP...@DECWRL.DEC.COM
Leave the subject blank.
2. The following commands can be included in the body of the
message. Capitalized commands must be typed exactly as shown and
lowercase words are replacable paramaters.
CONNECT hostname
-Connects to host's computer. Replace hostname with the name
of an FTP sight.
CHDIR path
-Changes your working directory. Replace path with complete
name of a directory.
BINARY
-Specifies to send a binary file such as a program,
spreadsheet, word processing file, UUENCODEd file.
This command has no replaceable parameters.
ASCII
-Specefies to send an plain text file. This command
has no replaceable parameters.
GET filename
-Sends a file to your computer. Replace filename with the
name of file that you wish to have.
QUIT
-Tells FTP-Mail that the message ends here. Useful if your
mailer automatically inserts a .sig file. This commmand has no
replaceable parameters.
3. Your message will be agnowledged by DEC. It will be given a
number which you should save in case of a problem.
4. Within a day or two you should recieve either a file or an
error message. If you get an error, make sure that the filenames
are correct (remember capitalization!), the commands are typed
correctly, and the host is correct.
Hope this solves some problems.
