ANONYMOUS FTP SITE




  • You must be connected to the Internet. Your host computer must run the "ftp" (file transfer) program.


  • Type
     ftp io.cc.gettysburg.edu  
    . Some local networks may not recognize our name, in which case our network address can be used:
    ftp 138.234.4.10 


  • When connection is established, our computer will prompt you:
     --login 
    To which you respond:
     anonymous 
    Our computer will then prompt:
    --Guest login ok, sent ident as password
    To which you respond with your Internet address.
    Welcome to the ftp!


  • To change to a directory where files are stored, type
     cd [directory name]
    (Do not type the angle brackets.) The names of the directories of interest are:
    /pub/clea_products/mac for MAC labs and documentation.
    /pub/clea_products/pc for PC labs and documentation.
    /pub/images for images.


  • To list the contents of a directory, type
     dir 
    In each directory, README files provide an overview of the contents of files.


  • To transfer a file to your host machine, type
    bin 
    to set the transfer mode to binary or
     ASCII 
    for text and README files.. Then, mindful of case, simply type:
    get  [filename] 
    and, within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of the file and the state of the network, you should have the file over on your machine. If you are using MAC ftp software, these commands may be issued by pointing and clicking on a menu.


  • When you are finished transferring files, please log out of the ftp server by typing quit or bye


  • Please report any problems to Mike Hayden, our ftp coordinator, whose e-mail address is: mhayden@gettysburg.edu
