     The general ftp discussion really doesn't belong on this mailing
list.  However, you are directed to see your local ftp guru or peruse
documentation available online at the nic.

Then where does the discussion belong?  The guidelines provided in the
most recent edition of the recurring publication "List of Active Newsgroups"
in mod.newslists says that this is a UNIX* neophytes group.

I agree that one should look at the documentation, what documentation there
is...  I'm not satisfied with the documentation.  I can see where someone
who isn't familiar with ipc might not understand what it does.  Someone
wrote in here a while back something like "I'm on a uucp-only site...can
I ftp to someplace like <some sitename>??"  I think that this is a reasonable
question, which the documentation *should* answer in non-computerese, but
doesn't.
