     I'm trying for the first time to download "stuff" using FTP from
milton.u.washington.edu -- without much success.
     Here's the particulars.....I use FTP on the Sun at work to get the
file(s).  I then rush home and download using Kermit (Version 2.00).  Nothing
but smoke.
     Can somebody post a brief tutorial?  What do you set file-type to?
Can I use "binary" with FTP?  If the file has a .SDA file extension, how
do I get it to de-arc itself?  So many questions!
     Thanks in advance.

     My 2 cents....I use and like GEOS.
