NAME
        ftp - How to transfer files to and from NannyMUD.


DESCRIPTION
        The ftp is located at mud.lysator.liu.se 2345. Login using
        your wizard name and password. This eminent server is written
        in Perl. It will accept files less than 1Mb only, but that
        should be more than enough.

        FTP PROGRAMS
        Naturally, to ftp things you need a ftp program. Most systems
        provides one out of the box. Here's a list of some system and
        their programs.

        UNIX:
          The standard ftp programs seem to work well with our ftp
          server.

        Windows95/NT:
          The standard ftp ptogram provided with them should work, but
          there are better, shareware, programs available:
          + Bulletproof FTP             www.bpftp.com
          + Cute FTP                    cuteftp.com

          They have extensive help built-in.

        Macintosh
          The program to use is named Fetch.

        USING A WEB BROWSER
        If you have a web browser that supports ftp, you might try to
        access your files through that. You have to specify an URL
        like:

        ftp://wizname:password@mud.lysator.liu.se:2345

        so anyone looking at your monitor can see your password. This
        is not recommended. Some browsers allows you to both download
        and upload files; learn ftp instead.


NOTE
        In order to use the ftp, you must be manually added to a list by the
        arches. To be granted access, you have to have limited your access
        using addhost. In order for this to be granted, no pattern in your
        addhost list must have more than two wildcards.


NOTE
        You should read the documentation for your ftp program!


NOTE
        You should use 'passive mode' in your ftp program.


NOTE
        We cannot provide support for any kind for your ftp program!


NOTE
        There is ftp-handling availaible in GNU emacs, the powerful text
        editor. It is called 'ange-ftp'.


NOTE
        Most WWW browsers will just allow you to download files.
