[comp.sys.acorn] ftp ...

I tried to telenet <address> for ftp from the server whose address is
on info-server@newcastle.

All I get is Network unreachable. I can telnet to machines in the department.


Any ideas?


Chris.

Unless you are one of the privileged few on shoestring (don't ask) your
telnet will only be talking to your local network.  The Internet servers
have to be accessed via international gateways.
