funic.funet.fi (128.214.6.100): /pub/sci/neural/01README
(ftp.funet.fi, nic.funet.fi)

This is a FTP archive for all kinds of artificial neural network,
neurophysiology, psychology, artificial intelligence, artificial
life, etc. oriented stuff: computer programs and scientific articles in
electronic format. Yes, the archive name should be something like
'Brain and behavioural sciences and artificial intelligence archive',
but for practical reasons it's not.
  Funic.funet.fi is the largest FTP archive in the world in all
subjects, not just neural nets. Log in for more information.
  Here are MOST of all the programs and papers that I have been able
to find around the world, but not all (for instance the
comp.ai.neural-nets archive and other similar archives).

Foreigners:
	Almost all of the files here are also available from FTP sites in USA!
	Please read the file .../04Neural_FTP_Sites

Administration:
	Neural-Admin-List	neural-adm@funic.funet.fi
	(Marko Gronroos	 	magi@funic.funet.fi (magi@utu.fi))

/pub/sci/neural/02INFODIR is a directory that contains all kinds of
information files, references, hints, introductions, indexes, etc. If
you are looking for something particular, please consult this
directory. It is also available through WAIS (Wide Area Information
Service), with source name neuralfunic.src.

---------------------------- How To Get A File --------------------------------

To use FTP, type at the UNIX or VMS prompt:

$ ftp funic.funet.fi

or

$ ftp 128.214.6.100

Here is a simple list of FTP program commands
cd directoryname		- Changes the current directory
get filename			- Gets a file
get filename local-filename	- Gets a file and changes it's name
get 00README /dev/tty		- Types this file on terminal in UNIX systems
mget *.ps.Z			- Gets multiple files. Try 'prompt' before this
quit				- Ends the FTP session

Here is an example log of a FTP session
