[comp.sys.mac.misc] FTPing from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil

swhite@brahms.udel.edu (Stephen H White) (06/24/91)

	I've been trying to download some really neat sounding software from
wsmr-simtel20.army.mil, but whenever I try to use the get command it responds
with some garbage about the file I am trying to get is not 7 or 32 bit...not
an ascii file. How am I supposed to get the files I want. The ftp files are
on a simtel 20 mainframe which I am not familiar with. Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance   ;)

Always use tenex mode when downloading from simtel.
