I am an amiga user who would like to download stuff off ab20.I do not have
any experience in downloading from an ftp site nor do I have the facility to
do so.I have heard that there are e-mail sites which accept script commands
that allow you to indirectly ftp a site to download stuff.The e-mail ftp
service I know of is FTPMAIL@decwrl.dec.com.

My questions are (using FTPMAIL):

       (1) How do I get a listing of all the files in ab20 ?
       (2) How do I download file(s) ?
       (3) How do I upload file(s) ?
       (4) Does ab20 have specific commands for other uses ?

Any other information on ab20 and the use of e-mail ftp services would be
greatly appreciated.Also,does anyone have a list of other e-mail ftp services
that I could use instead of FTPMAIL ?

Thanks in advance

Myron :-)
