Info: Using a web browser to access FTP sites.
if you aren't crazy about FTP, you can use the web as a front end to
it. Let's say you've got lynx at your site, and you want to go to
ftp.wwa.com, you would type at the prompt:
lynx ftp://ftp.wwa.com
Now lynx will log into the ftp site, and give you the top directory as
a menu. You then use arrow keys (other software might use a mouse) to
select the folders you want to look in. In this case it would be pub,
then once in pub, you would select Scarecrow.
You could also have typed:
lynx ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow
Doing this will bring you, within seconds, right into my ASCII art
folder here. Where you can look and download all you want.
