server, describing it as
"the place to download the newest version of the ADN
Network Services Kits and other
software distributed by the ADN."
That is still true. But then the article went on to say that
"it is not available for use by departments or
other UIC individuals or units." That is no longer true. Send
email to consult@uic.edu
if you're interested in distributing files through ftp.uic.edu;
they'll set things up for you and explain how to use it. -- Ed.]
You're transferring files to or from CMS: If the file
is going from one CMS account another CMS account, then use the CMS sendfile
command; enter: help sendfile on CMS for more information.
But it's not so easy when you're transferring files between CMS and
any place else. If you can send email to the "any place else", then the
best way to proceed is to open your ADN UNIX workstation account, use FTP
to transfer the file to your ADN UNIX account, then send the file as a
MIME attachment with pine. (Yes, that is complicated. But it really
is the best thing to do under the circumstances.)
You're transferring files between two computers or computer accounts
that belong to you and email is not an option: Use FTP if you can. To
use FTP, both computers have to be on (or connected by telephone using SLIP
or PPP) the Internet, or, at UIC, the ADN-ii network. Except for anonymous FTP
service, you also need to have an account on both machines to use FTP.
(If you're dialing in and aren't using SLIP or PPP -- and we're talking the
Dark Ages here -- the communications program you're using will have some way
to do file transfer.)
