   if you aren't crazy about FTP, you can use the web as a front end to 
it.  Let's say you've got lynx at your site, and you want to go to 
ftp.wwa.com, you would type at the prompt:

lynx ftp://ftp.wwa.com

   Now lynx will log into the ftp site, and give you the top directory as
a menu.  You then use arrow keys (other software might use a mouse) to
select the folders you want to look in.  In this case it would be pub, 
then once in pub, you would select Scarecrow.

   You could also have typed:

lynx ftp://ftp.wwa.com/pub/Scarecrow

   Doing this will bring you, within seconds, right into my ASCII art 
folder here.  Where you can look and download all you want.
