Ftp stands for file transfer protocol.

simtel20 is an archive site of a great number of msdos files.

Try typing ftp -n and see if it works... read your system manuals on ftp

simtel20 will generally let you log in under an account called "anonymous"
and let you receive files...

any more problems let me know by e-mail

hope this helps
