Victor Orly (orly@aludra.usc.edu) I'm trying to download some DA's, applications, and CDEV's from the site listed above (um-mts.cc.umich.edu). After my anonymous login, I typed "cd PC2:", and got the index file. But....how do I get the files in the directory? I tried the standard "get" command used with other sites, but I continuously got messages stating "file not found". Any or all suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Victor R. Orly

Orly I would have directed this to Victor only, but I suspect that there are others who had this same problem. You are in the wrong directory. Go to pc2:. That is, first type cd pc2: ... you did the same thing to fget the index, no? -rich Richard Sucgang : Dept. of Anatomy and Cell Biology Columbia University (sucgang@cuhhca.hhmi.columbia.edu; de slime god rs54@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu)

Almost right, what you do is: 1) cd pc2: 2) get directory/remotefilenam localfilename (i.e. if the directory is utils and the file you are after is afile.hqx the command would be: get utils/afile.hqx afile.hqx 3) Thats it!!

In regard to your problem, after the "get" command and the file name you want to download, you need to add a local file name -- that is, what the file will be called on your local file list. So, to get the file INIT/WARP, you'd need this command [be sure to command cd PC2 first]: get INIT/WARP warp.init [the local file name can be anything you want!] Hope this helps.
