It works like this: PD1:<MSDOS.GRAPHICS>GRAFWK48.ZIP ^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^--filename ^ ^ ^--subdirectory name ^ ^--top level directory name ^--disk drive device name ftp> cd pd1:<msdos.graphics> ftp> get grafwk48.zip When you display the directory you will see a trailing period and a number which is simply the file generation number. If a new version of the file is written using the same name this number will increase by one. Example: GRAFWK48.ZIP.1 You should not specify the generation number when downloading, however, in order to be sure to get the latest version. This is the default when the generation number is omitted. GrafWorks has recently been updated. The latest is GRAFWK51.ZIP.
