Get the name or numbers for the site you want to log in to 2. Type "ftp <site>" or "ftp <number>": for examples, ftp husc6.harvard.edu ftp 35.1.1.43 3. For your login name, type "anonymous" 4. For your password, the sites usually ask that you enter your real login name. The password doesn't really matter. 5. Type "ls" or "dir" to get a directory listing. 6. Type "cd <directory>" to change directories. 7. Use "get <file>" to download a file from the FTP site, or use "mget <file>" to allow inclusion of wildcards ("*") in the file name. 8. Type "close" to close a connection 9. Type CTRL-D to exit the FTP subsystem. That's it! Howard huang@husc4.harvard.edu Howard C. Huang huang@husc4.harvard.edu huang@husc4.BITNET huang@husc4.UUCP
