FTP at Earthnet
FTP
Open a connection to another computer for a file transfer.
Site for customer download
Contact a system support member to have
your ftp area setup.
You can access this area three different ways:
- Through the web: ftp://ftp.earthnet.net/pub/"your_userid"
- Through anonymous ftp
ftp ftp.earthnet.net (userid = ftp, passwd = your_email_address)
- Through ftp
ftp ftp.earthnet.net (userid = your_user_id, passwd = your_passwd)
**This is the way you must access the site to place files in your ftp area.
If you come in this way you must change directories to the public ftp area:
cd /home/ftp/pub/"your_userid"
Site for Incoming Files
This is setup such that only you (the earthnet client and owner of
those files) logged into earthnet can see the files.
The client drops the file off in the incoming directory:
- Through anonymous ftp
ftp ftp.earthnet.net (userid = ftp, passwd = his/her_email_address)
and change directories to pub/"your_userid"/incoming and put the files.
After they have dropped the file:
- they can email you the exact (case sensitive) file name
which you can then in the blind (meaning if you come in via anonymous ftp you can't see the files either) you can retrieve the file.
- Otherwise you ftp in as yourself:
ftp ftp.earthnet.net (userid = your_user_id, passwd = your_passwd)
and change directories to the public ftp area:
cd /home/ftp/pub/"your_userid"/incoming
The only thing you need to watch out for is that the files are deleted
after you download them.
