  Anonymous ftp is neat and simple. Let's say the hostname is uunet.uu.net
  do the following:

  ftp uunet.uu.net

  Then, when prompted for the login, type anonymous
  for the password, type anything you want -- then you will be logged in
  as an anonymous ftper.

  ftp> is the prompt.

  To "download" a file, type get <filename>
  To "upload" a file, type put <filename>
   
  for more info on commands available, type help after you have logged in
  or do a man on ftp.
