I've been trying to "anonymous ftp" files, and I'm beginning to believe it's just a big joke on us Unix types. :-) Just how does it work? I can ftpwith no problem, but then it wants me to login. I tried anon, ftp, anonymous, etc and nothing seems to work. Is there a standard login for this, or is it a commandline option that I missed along the way? Email, I'll summarize.... -- Skate Unix. J.
