Hello again
Sorry I missed out on the detail. Here is how to access the AVnet Europa FTP
site step by step. This is a new facility in addition to the archive. The
advantage that the ftp site has over the archive is that we are now able to
store and retrieve binary files, not just text files.
(1) Use any FTP utility. There is one built into WinCim, just 'GO FTP'
(2) The address of the site is ftp.avnet.co.uk
(3) The user id to use is anonymous
(4) The password to use is your e-mail address, so mine would be
100335.3566@compuserve.com
(5) By convention public files are stored under the PUB directory.
(6) To keep the Europa Specific files separate from others Monu has created
a Europa directory. So change to this and you should see the Europa files.
(7) Select the files you want to retrieve and away you go.
(8) Please disconnect 'cleanly'. ie log off don't switch off !! This can leave
unnecessary cleaning up to do for the AVnet people if comms jobs terminate
abnormally.
(9) Sit down in a quiet place for a few moments and think of the potential of
this facility. Not only can you now exchange tips and ideas in the form of the
written word, you can now illustrate your ideas with diagrams, photo's, and
sketches. It's success or failure depends on you.
(10) As always, contributions will be very welcome indeed. Please send them to
me, Pete Thomas at 100335.3566@compuserve.com
(uuencode, binhex etc etc no problem)
Best Wishes
Pete
