A crude guide to using FTP:
Unix Command: ftp <site name>
Login: anonymous
Password: login@machine_name
Let's say that geeker@pac.man.edu wants to get the latest and greatest Ranma-chan GIF (/anime/hentai/r-chan1.gif) from happosai.com.
- At the Unix prompt, geeker types "ftp happosai.com".
- At the "login:" prompt, he types "anonymous".
- At the "Password:" prompt, he types "geeker@pac.man.edu". He's now logged at happosai.com.
- geeker now uses cd(1) and ls(1) just like in Unix to find whatever he's after.
If geeker want to get the Ranma-chan GIF, he must do the following:
- He uses cd(1) to go to /anime/hentai. Once there, he uses ls(1) to make sure that r-chan1.gif is actually there.
- GIF files are binary, so geeker sets the file transfer type to binary by typing "binary".
- geeker types "get <filename>", where <filename> is the name of the file he wants to copy. In our case, he would type "get r-chan1.gif" to get the file. Note that no wildcards are allowed.
- Several other ftp commands to know:
"?" - lists the commands available
"quit" - exits the program
"ascii" - sets file transfer mode to ascii
"mget" - allows multiple-file gets, and wildcards
If you need help, or want to learn advanced techniques, DON'T post to rec.arts.anime for help. Instead, ask your local system administrator/CCON/ Unix witch doctor for help. That's what they're paid for.
Notes:
- Synopses are available at most of the sites mentioned above.
- Sound files: These are IFF "raw" sound files, which can be played on Amiga, MS-DOS, Macintosh and Sun computers. There is also a text file with instructions on how to play them.
- EAV (Electronic Animation Velocity) and AnimeStuff are electronic anime fanzines. EAV was put out by Randall Stukey and the Anime Publications Bureau, and AnimeStuff is published by a group of anime fans in CompuServe.
- urusei-yatsura archives: the collected messages of four years (1987-1991) of the Urusei Yatsura mailing list (see below). Warning: this file is HUGE! (about 300 pages long).
- The Rutgers Anime site contain all the anime song translations by Theresa Martin, and current copies of all the articles written by Steve Pearl (see ELECTRONIC ANIME RESOURCES: ARTICLES, below).
- Remember to set your file type to BINARY before reading any GIF/JPEG files, sound files, or compressed text (.Z) files.
