KLUG promo stuff posted and available to all (& ftp tutorial)

["Robert G. Brown" <bob@xxxxxxx>]

The pair of flyers that were distributed at the Computer Sale are available
via the klug machine....

   ftp://klug.armintl.com/pub/klug

     If you like web browsers.

   The files are flyers.ps.gz    - The flyer about the Installfest
                 ho2.ps.gz       - A new flyer about Linux

   Download them, unzip them, and use gv or gs to look at them.

   Print a few copies, hand them out. Let everyone know what you
   think about them. Pin one up on your school bulletin board.
   In the employee cafeteria. In a local bookstore. Better yet,
   put it up somewhere original, and let us all know where.

   This is publicity for our group, and the event NEXT SATURDAY.

     If you don't like web browsers, and would like to try ftp command line
     stuff (or you just don't happen to have a browser), type:
         ftp klug.armintl.com
     at a command line. You may want to install the ftp client programs.
     when you get a prompt from the klug machine, it will look like.....

you type here -----+

After seeing our greeting, you're prompted with "ftp>", so type:

cd /pub/klug

and you're there! now, if you type"
ftp> get flyer.ps.gz

it will be moved to the current directory on your machine.

when you're done, type "exit", and at the next "ftp>" prompt, type "quit"
to return to your Linux shell command.


Whew! All of that is called "anonymous ftp", and it's the method of fetching
files before web browsers became common. IMHO this is better than the browser,
since you can reliably transfer whole directories of files in one shot, and
scripts can be written for mass-file transfer.  Want to know more? Read the
man pages for ftp, or ask.....
