I believe you can set it to treat links as files. Jim -- Debian Linux! Where I REALLY went today!

I've successfully used WSFTP as a Windows FTP client to download from both of these sites. (Right now, I've got systems running Win95, WinNT4 (Server), and Debian GNU/Linux. Contrary to what others say, I like them all and use all of them every day. They've all got strengths and weaknesses But, I _wouldn't_ do without any one of them, either.) You can get it from: http://www.ipswitch.com or Jumbo or TUCOWS of course. Make sure you get: /debian/stable/disks-i386/current/* Follow the installation instructions in there to get going. Every other directory just contains optional components, etc, but the one you'll primarily be interested in after the one above is: /debian/stable/binary-i386/* Get the Packages file and go through that for info on what's available.

Downloading Debain
Hi, I am interested in downloading Debian, but I am running into problems... I am running Windows NT 4 currently, and have tried to download from ftp.debain.org and ftp.cdrom.com. The ftp client I am using is CuteFTP v1.8 The problem is that I can not download the "links" to the actual files (all the the *.deb files) How can I remedy this? I would like to downlaod the whole directory structure at one time, even though it will take a while... Where can I find the actual files that I use to install Debian, instead of just links to the files? Below, I have included a copy of some of the errors I was getting useing CuteFtp: STATUS:> Downloading directory cdtool.deb... COMMAND:> CDW cdtool.deb 550 cdw cdtool.deb: No such file or directory ERROR:> failed to change dir It does this for all of the links to the .deb filesHow can I get them? I really want to try Debain! What ftp client should I use? Thanks for your help... Dan Battagin -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
