FTP Server for Mechanical Music Digest
By Doug Adam

Dear Jody:

I just wanted to express my thanks to you on all of your work.

This was brought to light this morning when I wanted to refer to bulletin
from several months ago. How great just to scroll through th FTP files and
find what I was looking for.

Thanks again,

Doug Adam

 [ Editor's Note:
 [
 [ Thanks, Doug, for the positive feedback.  The logfile from my
 [ FTP server shows that more and more people are giving FTP a
 [ try.  I'm going to periodically post instructions on how to
 [ do it.  For now, I offer as a reminder, the URLs:
 [
 [     http://www.foxtail.com                      (my Web page)
 [
 [     ftp://ftp.foxtail.com/pub/mechanical-music  (the ftp archive)
 [
 [ There is a complete index of the FTP archive available via the
 [ Web page, with links to each digest.  The index is long,
 [ and takes a while to download, but its probably worth the wait.
 [
 [ These URLs (Uniform Resource Locators) can be plugged directly
 [ into your Web browser.  If you still use FTP the "traditional"
 [ way, you can use the following information:
 [
 [      hostname:    ftp.foxtail.com
 [      username:    anonymous
 [      password:    your-email-address
 [      directory:   /pub/mechanical-music
 [
 [                   i.e. type:    cd  /pub/mechanical-music
 [
 [ Further instructions must come from your Internet Service Provider.
 [
 [ I hope more people give it a try.  There's some interesting stuff
 [ there, including MIDI files written/arranged by some of our members.
 [
 [ Jody
