Well Heres' what ya MIGHT need to do.

1) FTp to the place
2) Do an "binary" command   <----- VERY IMPORTANT
3) DO a  "verbose" command  <------ Not as important
4) "get" the files

5) For kermit be sure to set the BINARY mode to on.
(See Kerman manual, i think it's the -i flag)

dload the file to ya amiga, Woalia..

Ya might wanna get Zmodem.. It more "idiot" resistane.
