You’ll also need the names of the files you want to transfer, and a username and password for the remote computer. This is usually four numbers separated by dots. However, in this article I’ll explain FTP: how to upload, as well as download files.įTP how to: What you need before you startīefore you start your FTP setup you’ll need the IP address of the computer or server you’ll be connecting to. If you’ve ever downloaded mp3 files or games, you’ve already used it. It's a longterm interest.FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol – it’s the method used to transfer files over the net. I don't know if they'll ever be practical to use on my computer system, but I would like to acquire them - somewhat like people collect buttons, doorknobs, butterflies, model airplanes, etc.

I'm a newbie at collecting the 6-man EGTBs. If I can acquire them this way (or in any way), I would in turn offer to provide this service to others who want them.Īny suggestions welcome. If anyone in the USA would be willing to transfer a complete set of the 6-man EGTBs (or a substantial number of them) to one of my USB drives, I would pay shipping both ways, plus a reasonable fee for the service. At present that would have to be an external USB drive and I have several 1.5-2TB drives sitting on my shelf. I would consider buying a drive with the EGTBs installed. Also my ISP recently imposed a monthly cap on total up/download usage so I'll have to work within that limit. That's no problem with ftp, but I'm less sure about my utorrent client. I don't yet know how often I can interrupt the download for computer maintenance and still resume without losing the prior data. I have and am familiar with utorrent, and found hosoka's torrents at */0/99/300,400 I'm just beginning to download the 3+3 pawnless from there, but mostly as an experiment. The only alternatives seem to be eMule (which I have never used) and P2P torrents. I verified that the checksums are correct by comparing with So the http downloading error control seems not good enough to be practical for such a large scale longterm effort. I've tried redownloading one of those three times and it still gives a checksum error. I downloaded the first dozen files and three gave checksum errors. The only http direct download source I could find is but unfortunately it seems unreliable. That would be my preferred method if it becomes available again in future. In my experience ftp is very reliable with a good ftp client (I use WS_FTP95 LE), but unfortunately the 6-man EGTBs seem unavailable via ftp these days (after Dr Hyatt's site crashed). I have tried a couple of methods of acquiring them, and am still researching it. I've just recently become interested in collecting the 6-man Nalimov EGTBs and decided to begin with the 3+3 pawnless.
