5-10. I don't have ftp, can you e-mail files to me?




Description

This article is from the rec.food.drink.beer FAQ, by John Lock with numerous contributions by others.

5-10. I don't have ftp, can you e-mail files to me?

To get a file, send e-mail to ftpmail@gatekeeper.dec.com. No subject
is required, but you can use one to identify your request. In the
body of the message, type the following:

connect ftp.stanford.edu
chdir /pub/clubs/homebrew/beer/rfdb
get ????????
quit

Replace ???????? with the name of the file you want. If the file has
a .Z extension (meaning it's been compressed), leave it off and it
will be automatically uncompressed before mailing. A maximum of 10
files can be requested per submission. Just use multiple "get"
statements.

If you want full details on this service e-mailed back to you, just
send "help" in the body of the message instead.
