[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] cannot connect to grape via ftp

HELP!  (please?)

I am trying to access the archives on grape.ecs.clarkson.edu.  I can 
connect via ftp and send my username and password (I am using "anonymous"
and "guest").

After that, I get the following:
220 Get 00readme for more information
220-If you're having trouble logging in, yor FTP client doesn't understand these
ftp>

I type in a command, like "ls", and get:
220-continuation lines.  You can retrieve a working version from
220-uunet.uu.net:/networking/ftp.tar.Z
220 Get 00readme for new user information.

I am then no longer logged in.  I connnected to uunet.uu.net via ftp and
copied /networking/ftp.tar.Z and /networking/ftpd.tar.Z.  However, I 
could not uncompress these files -- uncompress hangs after writing about
32 K on both.  They seem to be parts of a C program and a makefile, 
presumably an FTP client program.  Still I can't get the whole thing.

I also could not find 00readme on uunet.uu.net; I presume this is a 
grape.ecs.clarkson.edu file.

So ... what I am I doing wrong?  Just dumb, maybe?  Can somebody help?
Please send e-mail.

Thanks!
