Finally, a question that I can answer ;) First of all I dont know of any online FBSD manuals except for the ones on the bsd webpage, but I do know about ftping with MSIE... just click on it and it prompts you to save it to disk. That's basically the same thing, just a lot slower. If you must ftp it, I suggest (this assumes you're using windows) finding WS_FTP. A list of FTP sites that have freebsd can be found on http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook337.html#687 Most of them are listed as ftp://something, just plug the host/domain part into the 'host name' section in ws_ftp and plug the path into 'remote host' in the 'intitial directories' section of ws_ftp. Click the 'anonymous login' box and click 'ok'. All this will be clear once you actually are looking at ws_ftp. The helpfiles in ws_ftp are relatively clear. Good luck. - Graey ----------------------------- | slayer@luvewe.eglobe.com | | luvewe.eglobe.com/~slayer | ----------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
