HyperFTP is really nice -- click on a directory, you drop into it; click on a file name, you get a SFPutFile dialog to specify where to put the recieved file. I'm pretty sure HyperFTP is available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, and MacIP should be. The about box says to direct comments to macip@jessica.stanford.edu. A fellow I have been corresponding with has the BYU NCSA Telnet. His version does not use MacTCP. Is there one that does, with the BYU modifications? If you are at a University, or a company with more than 10 or so macs, there is no reason not to get MacTCP. It is site-licensed for a very reasonable fee. Individuals may purchase "evaluation copies" from APDA, I believe. Your organization may already have it site-licensed -- the whole University of California does, I hear -- ask your system administrator. >Chad Irby >ac08@untvax >ac08@vaxa.acs.unt.edu >the.mac.ups.tairs -- Michael D.
