Public archive sites use a special version of FTP where anyone can gain access by identifying themselves as a user named anonymous . When accessing your own files on a system where you have an account, you would use your own password for the system. If using your Network ID with the CU People system, enter your Network ID password. After entering a host, user name, password and, optionally, a directory, click OK to connect to an FTP server.
Directories have folder icons and files have paper icons.
Above the list of files and directories you will see a pop-up menu labelled with the name of the directory currently accessed. After connecting you may need to navigate the FTP server to find the file or directory you want. Once you've gained access to the server, you can start navigating its directory structure to look for files or other directories. If you don't see anything promising at the top level, you should try looking for and opening a directory called pub . You can switch to a directory, such as pub , by simply double-clicking on its name.
