If you use anonymous ftp then when you contact the remote host and it
asks for a userid then you give the name
anonymous
You will then be asked for a password. Some systems will let you enter
guest
but if they like to log who is coming into their system then you
may have to give your own userID at your.own.host e.g.
idipina at IDiPina.pcweek.ziff.com
as a password. After that you are connected to the remote host
and you can "cd", "dir" and give all the usual commands to get files.
