Everyone,

There are times when you may wish to share large files with our group 
(i.e. gif, jpeg, spreadsheets, etc).  Our list is configured to 
reject large postings (even if they are properly encoded) since the 
sheer volume has caused problems in the past.  As an alternative, we 
have provided an anonymous ftp site.  To provide your file to the 
group, please follow these instructions:

1. Send your file to:

	ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/users/m/mcjathan/incoming/

See ftp instructions below.

2. Send mail to me directly at owner-canslim@lists.xmission.com telling 
me the name of the file that you uploaded.  I will move the file from 
the incoming directory, to the public directory where people will 
be able to download your file.

3. After I notify you that the file has been moved to the public 
directory (and provide you with the file's URL), you should send an 
email to the group describing your file, and its URL.

Although this may seem unwieldy at first, it really isn't too bad 
and it solves more problems than it creates.

You should note that I do not monitor my email on the weekends as 
closely as during the week.  Therefore, steps 2-3 may take longer 
over a weekend.

Best Regards,

Jeff Salisbury - canslim owner/admin

FTP Instructions:

1. Using Netscape, go to the URL:

	ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/users/m/mcjathan/incoming/

2. On the Netscape "File" menu, select "Upload File..."  This will 
open a file selection widget on your hard-drive.  Select the file you 
wish to upload and hit the "Ok" button.  At this point, your file 
will be uploaded.

3. Eventhough your file has been uploaded, you will not be able to 
see the file in your netscape browser.  The reason for this is that 
the "incoming" directory is set to write-only for security reasons.
