You can also download files using gopher. List the directories with the 'dir' command. To change to a sub-directory, type 'cd' and then the name of the directory. Unix uses frontslashes, not backslashes like DOS uses. Decide if the file is binary or text.
Binary files are programs, or text files that have been compressed with a compression program.
All files that end in ARC, ZIP, ZOO, LBR, EXE, or COM should be downloaded in binary. If the file is text, proceed to the next step. If it is binary, type 'binary'. Type DIR to see the directories. If it's been compressed, decompress it.
