Hi.

I know this has been discussed before, but that was back
when I *had* ftp access, and didn't think I'd ever need
to ftp'ing around when I left college and went back to work...

...as it turns out, I do.  I'm using System V, cu'ing to
a BSD machine, and ftp'ing from there, to the BSD machine.
That works fine.  Transfering from BSD to System V, however,
is causing problems because the files in question are *huge*
(250000+), and cu seems to choke ever so often.

Can I somehow get these files sent to me on the System V
machine, without having access to ftp? How?

The anonymous site in question is "zurich.ai.mit.edu", and I'm
trying to access the files in pub/scheme/dist.split/*.

Thanks,
 Roger R. Espinosa
