Based on the above information, from a command prompt interface in either 
windows, or FreeBSD, go into the directory you want the files in (using the 
cd command) then type the following:

ftp moe.2bsd.com<enter>
anonymous<enter>
[EMAIL PROTECTED]<enter>
cd /pub/2.11BSD/<enter>
mget *<enter>
y<enter>y<enter>..............................y<enter>
quit<enter>

Hopefully this helps a bit. Your screen should look something like this:

jrhoden@elkanah# ftp moe.2bsd.com
