I am wondering if anybody can explain to me what FTP and the numbers that are associated with them are. So far on my own, I've been confused on how to access them or whatever I'm suppose to do to get to them. any help will be appreciated.

You must have FTP access 2. read the manual entry 3. access the ftp site, eg. some atari sites: Main one: terminator.cc.umich.edu 141.211.164.8 xscheme, msdos, atari, Others: (NB. lots of European sites here (.de .fi .nl) cs.uni-sb.de 134.96.7.254 GNU, atari, RFCs, perl, misc dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu 129.22.16.2 Minix, TOS Atari ST, gcc from faui43.informatik.uni-erlangen.de 131.188.1.43 NeWS X11 amiga atari faces jyu.fi 128.214.7.5 unix, atari, amiga, mac, mars.ee.msstate.edu 130.18.64.3 msdos, amiga, mac, atari, rusmv1.rus.uni-stuttgart.de 129.69.1.12 RFCs, X11, atari, amiga, sol.cs.ruu.nl 131.211.80.5 atari, GNU, HP-UX, TeX, Perl, um.cc.umich.edu 35.1.1.43 msdos, mac, apple, atari eg. type "ftp 141.211.164.8" -- _ |\ warwick@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au / `-' * <-- Computer Science Department, \__--_/ University of Queensland, V AUSTRALIA.

FTP is used to move files via nets from machine to another. Those numbers are an address. All machines have their address in both numbers and letters, for example I am on a machine called saha, saha.tky.hut.fi now (saha is finnish and means saw, like jiggsaw) there is also a numerical form for that address. In Unix, to use FTP, simply type FTP. (first see: man ftp) Or type FTP <address>. A widely used method is anonymous FTP. You can download PD to your machine from various servers. When FTP asks your login-name, type "anonymous". Then it asks your password ads asks you to send your indent as a password. But FTP is a big thing, try man ftp or try to get some printed instructions to use it. Jartsu *** Jari Lehto, jartsu@otax.hut.fi, s37837k@saha.hut.fi ***
