Subject: FTPing files from MIT-MC:CPM;

Unlike most other machines on the net, MC (and the other ITS machines,
ML, AI, and DM), does not require you to login when using FTP access.
Also, we have the CPM; directory full of plain files and something
called ARChive files.  ARChive files contain files and are referenced
by a device name.  Thus, to reference a regular file to fetch it into
your machine via FTP, type:

GET CPM;fn1 fn2<cr>
local-filename<cr><cr>

For a file in an ARChive:

GET CPM;ARnn:fn1 fn2<cr>
local-filename<cr><cr>

Of course, you need to know the name of the file in the first place,
and if it is in an ARChive, the "nn", or ARChive number.  To do this,
type:

DIR CPM;<cr>
TTY:<cr>

And the list will show on your terminal - you can substitute a
local-filename instead of TTY: and it will go there instead for you to
reference later.  In that list, you will see files, like AR60 MODEM2,
as well as the regular files which are not of the form ARnn fn2.  AR60
MODEM2 is an archive file.  To find out what is in that archive, type:

DIR CPM;AR60:<cr>
TTY:<cr>

One file you will see on that list is MBOOT 3ASM.  If you want to
fetch that file to your machine, type:

GET CPM;AR60:MBOOT 3ASM<cr>
MBOOT3.ASM<cr><cr>          (the name you want to use on your host)

Of course, to start up the program assume you have access to FTP:

FTP<cr>
MC<cr>
.....  <-- do your DIRs and GETs here
BYE<cr>
QUIT<cr>

Any questions?  Contact FJW@MC.
