Hello to FTP Experts or even Gifted Amateurs,
I saw a post in mac.games the other day describing a game demo called
"StrikeJets". I have no FTP access so I'm using the BITFTP service
at Princeton Univ. These are the commands I send and the output I
get back. The address I use is bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu.
FTP MAC.ARCHIVE.UMICH.EDU NETDATA
USER ANONYMOUS
CD ARCHIVE/MAC/GAMES/DEMOGAMES
GET STRIKEJETS.SIT.HQX
QUIT

09:34:19 >>> CWD ARCHIVE/MAC/GAMES/DEMOGAMES
09:34:19 <<< 550 ARCHIVE/MAC/GAMES/DEMOGAMES: No such file or directory
What list of commands would I use to retrieve a list of valid
directories at umich. Also if you see anything else wrong with my
procedure please let me know.
Email responses appreciated...
Thanks in advance...

Mark, try using lower-case in your requests to the archives. Case is significant. As Mike said, the file and directory are both there.
