ftp

Hello Everyone (and top of the season!):

Sorry, but I'm *so* new to networking I just *know* I missed something
basic. I mounted a drive on a proftp server with limited success. The FAQ
told me to:

mount -Flofs /dev/sda1 /home/ftp/raid

Owner is root, and group is ftp, rwx on both r to others with x on the
directories as near as I have seen. The listing shows up, but with
"wget -r addy/*", one file arrives as a broken (something). I can get to
each file with Firefox, where it identifies them as binary and offers to
save them. (One bloody file at a time!) They arrive a little smaller, as if
I was making an ASCII transfer. <?> Digging through documents on the Inet
takes some effort for me, but I haven't seem anything with the distributed
pages so far. Where might I be going wrong?

I don't know what a broken (something) is. If you transfer files between
two Linux or Unix hosts, it doesn't matter whether you use binary or ascii
mode. Whatever the problem is, maybe it would help if you stored the files
as zip or tar.gz archives.
