Dept., Tulane University, New Orleans, LA Lines: 22 I'm trying to download some files from um-mts.cc.umich.edu, either directly to my mac or to the unix site to which I'm connected. I've gotten the READ.ME file which tells me where the mac files are, and the READ.ME file in the directory there which tells me there's another file which will tell me how to download to a mac. When I try to use the ftp "get" command for that file (DO/DOWNLOAD) I get the following message: -- 451 Internal systems failure (Chkfile) -- What does this mean? Is there a way around this? (All the files there are listed as DIRECTORY/FILE, but I think the site wants colons some where. Help is appreciated. E-mail is fine. Thanks in advance.
