[comp.windows.ms] How to ftp correctly

wigan@civeng.monash.edu.au (David Neiger) (07/10/90)

Some people have not correctly uploaded files to the FTP sites as they arrive
corrupted.  Some of the files on 35.8.2.1 and on 129.79.20.22 are useless
namely;
FLOWCHRT.ZIP
HEXCALC2.EXE
HPCALC.EXE
ICONDRW.ZIP & ICONDRW.LHZ
GOOFY.ZIP
SCRNPE.ZIP
Could someone please re-upload them and the sysops of these site check that the
files will unzip.  For those who do not know, or have forgotten you MUST (repeat
MUST) type TENEX before you upload (or download) anything.

Everyone's co-operation is required otherwise we will all chalk up huge bills
(in telecommunications) for nothing.

A very good bit of advice.

I have checked icondrw.zip, goofy.zip, and scrnpe.zip here at
cica.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.22) and they are OK.  Flowchrt.zip,
on the other hand, was not uploaded correctly and has been deleted.

Even with tenex, The one on clvax1 still will not dezip, even after
pkzipfix ( I assume that a new one was never uploaded).  

So, has anyone >ever< gotten a dezipable version of "flowchart?"
