I'm afraid I have to agree with Kate here. The guy's question, after all,
had NOTHING to do with Linux and even if it had, the subject of the post
indicated that he knew at least one answer i.e. ftp and frankly, I don't
think that a "How do I use FTP ?" type question is appropriate for this list
and for such a question RTFM (or use Altavista, Google or whatever) is an
entirely appropriate answer.
