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
