How does the ftp-by-email work
You send a regular mail to a ftpmail host (see below) and in the body
of the message you put ftp'ish commands, eg:
help
or
connect x2ftp.oulu.fi
chdir /pub/msdos/programming/gpe
dir
binary
uuencoded
get pcgpe10.zip
quit
And then the ftpmailer logs on to the ftp-site and performs the above
commands and mails the result back to you.
What are the basic commands can I try
help do this first and read the text
open [site[user[password] connect to site
cd path change directory
ls [path] directory listing
dir [path] directory listing
get file get a file, can have path in name
size max[ K | M ] size when file is split before sending,
the max size is Kilobytes or Megabytes
mode binary binary mode: archives, binary files
mode ascii ascii mode: nothing but ascii text
quit end of ftp-by-email message
