If you have any problem with the above procedure, please report to bshine@ramapo.edu

Important:


• Note that if you are sending a Word file, you must do so in binary mode. In the above session, the system automatically selected binary transmission mode. If your ftp client program does not automatically set the mode, please be sure to change the transmission mode to binary by typing bin at the ftp prompt at the beginning of the ftp session.
• If you are using a Windows-based ftp client (e.g., wsftp), when you change directory to usr/csconf/ccscne/in, you may get an error message because your ftp client cannot read the contents of the directory. Don't worry about it, your file transfer will still go through correctly.
• Note: You will not be able to confirm that your file has been saved in the directory by listing its contents:
  ftp> ls
  200 PORT command successful.
  550 No files found.

  Don't panic, if ftp reported Transfer Complete above, your file has been properly deposited. It has just been promptly moved to another location.

If you have any other problem with the above procedure, please call Robert Shine at (201) 684 7719, or send email to bshine@ramapo.edu.

Resubmitting a File

If you are resubmitting your file because you made changes to it after submitting it the first time:

• Do not re-enter paper/author information using step 2;
• Submit your file with the same name as you gave it the first time. In our example, it is kennedy.txt
