Well,
I got a Little bit closer to my Goal.. I Have still not been able
to get files from 128.155.23.64 (abdf.larc.nasa.gov) I go ahead and do the
following:
FTP 128.155.23.64 Netdata
User anonymous
cd incoming
cd amiga
type I
get cryptoburnersmegademo.lhw.zoo
quit
When I receive the reply from thre BITFTP it tells me that it is unable to
find the file.. But the files that I get that are under 8 letters long work
fine.. And you can't use Wildcards to get files..
Any Suggestions?

Jim Karczewski Well, one thing I've noticed with FTP sites is that filenames are CASE sensitive. You have to exactly match uppercase and lowercase letters when getting the file otherwise it will tell you no such file exists. David Poland 2flntopaz@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu

The case sensitivity is characteristic of UNIX (and Ultrix and other) systems;
VMS and DEC-20 FTP sites retain file names in upper-case but allow lower-case
for referencing the files.
Re: the example posted re: long file names, you might try (assuming your ftp
program isn't brain-dead):
ftp> get long_archive_name.LZH shortname
that is, the incoming long name will be received as the specified shortname.
