FTP Download Procedure

FTP ACCESS NOTE: A user ID and password are required for the Command Software Systems FTP site. This FTP site provides access to the latest versions of our software without the expense of a long-distance call. Please contact your sales or tech support representative for more info.

1. Execute your FTP software package. The next steps will be based on the very basic ftp client FTP.EXE which comes with MS Windows 95. If you are using another ftp package, the steps are similar; you should modify these instructions to match that program.
2. From a DOS prompt, type:

   FTP ftp.commandcom.com [enter]

3. Enter your user ID (different from your name) and your password, when prompted.
4. Once you are connected, you will see an index listing the file library directories that are available. In most cases, you will be entering the "PRODUCTS" directory. To enter this directory, type:

   cd products [enter]

5. You will see another index related to the type of product this is, such as if it a "COMMERCIAL" or "UTIL" product you have access to. Remember to use "CD" to "change directories".
6. You will see one more index relating to the product platform. Depending on your access depends whether or not you can go into the "F-PROT" directory (for Command AntiVirus for DOS and Windows) or the F-PROT95 directory (for Command AntiVirus for Windows 95), etc.
7. Once you enter a certain directory, a final index will appear listing the files available in that directory and descriptions of those files. If you would like to download a program, first type "BIN", for binary, and press enter. (Programs and images use binary transfer mode, text files use ASCII mode.)
8. To download a file, type "GET" followed by the file name and press enter. For example:

    get f31x03c1.exe [enter]

9. To disconnect from ftp.commandcom.com, type

   bye

NOTES:

• The file 00index contains the index that normally comes up automatically when you change directories.
