I'm stumped and perhaps somebody out there in net-land could help me.

I've recently ftp System 6.05 from apple.com and would like to get it
from my encore (unix) account to my macintosh.  What I normally do
to dowlnload a file from my unix account is to use mcvert to convert
it to a macbinary file and then use an xmodem program and RedRyder
to get the file to my mac.  I don't normally have any problems with
this, until now.  When I try to send any portion of the 6.05 
(each is about 600K), the transfer quits about 3/4 of the way through it.
I've tried sending the binhex'ed file and the mcvert'ed version, but the
same thing happens each time.  I know there is enough disk space on my
mac (I'm downloading onto my harddrive, I know, bad idea -- virus).

Thanks in advance for any tips. Please reply via email to

Joe.
