I'm on a cranky IBM 3090 running VM/ESA and I'm trying to ftp 386BSD.
So far I've been unable to connect to several ftp sites, and those that I
have been able to get to have files tar'ed and Z'ed. I can deal with Unix
Z-compression on my host machine, but it chokes when trying to de-Tar. As
if that weren't enough, I can't seem to mget files with mutliple.names.like.
this; I'm only allowed a file Name and Type. Argh.
I'm also not sure what files I need or what to do with them when I get
them. If anyone could explain how they got their copy, I'd be most thankful
(and less stressful :). Please E-mail, (or post too) as our news server has
been a pain lately. Thanks in advance.
