File Transfer Protocol Instructions for Submission
SUBMITTING PAPERS
Another method you can use to access the CIESIN Kiosk is File Transfer Protocol (FTP). FTP is an interactive program used to transfer files between computers. The following instructions can be used to submit a Kiosk paper from any ftp site:
At the password prompt, enter your e-mail address (such as foobar@ciesin.org).
To access the directory of Kiosk papers, change directories using cd kiosk/submissions.
To submit the file, save the file in the ascii (text) format and name it using a .txt extension. If the files are in other format, name it using the following extensions:
.dwp = WordPerfect for DOS .dmw = Microsoft Word for DOS .wwp = WordPerfect for Windows .wmw = Microsoft Word for Windows .mwp = WordPerfect for Macintosh .mmw = Microsoft Word for Macintosh
Type put <filename>.
To close the connection, type quit.
