LAWNET (AALLNET) FTP UPDATE/ACCESS CONNECTION
If you have information about your AALL law related Chapter,
Consortium, Association, Committee, Special Interest Section, (or
some other group?) and do not have a location to make the data
available to the Association (or your group) on INTERNET, feel free
to put the data at the FTP site we have connected to AALL's LAWNET.
As an aside, my understanding is that the LAWNET name is to be
changed to AALLNET.
Once the data has been transferred to the ftp site, I will link it
to LAWNET (tentative menu), as well as the nearly completed World
Wide Web version of LAWNET. Please give me 48 hours to make the
basic link and set up your web site (although during the Seattle
convention, I can not effectively make all the links.) Since the
data will be loaded as web data, your members will be able to go to
it directly.
You can update your information by transferring new files to the
site, and sending me an email note. I will execute an automatic
update routine to make your data current.
HOW TO PUT THE DATA AT THE SITE? (ftp 192.104.1.207 login=aallnet,
password=user).
You will need to use the FTP command. FTP stands for File Transfer
Protocol and provides you with a way to transfer data from one
computer to another.
There are many ftp programs available on INTERNET; you need to
check your site to see which one you use.
One example is below:
If you want to transfer a text file (such as a Wordperfect document
saved as DOS TEXT), make sure that your document is loaded on your
local computer, in the subdirectory where your FTP software is
loaded. Be sure that you have named your document using a .txt
extension (it is easier for me to create the automatic update
routine using the extension). Example: ftphelp.txt
1) Type the following command on your computer within the
subdirectory that has your FTP software loaded.
Type: ftp 192.104.1.207 and press ENTER
2) Next you will be asked for a username or login:
Type: aallnet and press ENTER.
3) Next you will be asked for a password:
Type: user and press ENTER.
4) Now you are connected.
Type: put filename.txt and press enter.
THE FILE SHOULD TRANSFER TO THE SITE!
More Advanced commands:
A) How to transfer a file from a specific subdirectory or disk
drive (and not "clog" your ftp software directory)?
1) When you are connected to the ftp site, but before you
use the "put" command:
Type: lcd c:\wp\doc (for example) and press ENTER
-this will cause the "put" command to "look" to the
c:\wp\doc subdirectory for your documents.
B) How to transfer an image?
1)To do this, you must change the transfer setting to
"binary". After you are connected to the FTP site, but
before you use the "put" command:
Type: binary and press ENTER
-then use the "put" command to transfer the image.
C) How to transfer many documents (all at once)?
1)Make sure you have loaded all the documents to be
transferred, into a separate subdirectory on your local
computer. Then, once you are connected to the FTP site,
but before you have used the "put" command:
Type prompt and press ENTER
2)Then, use the lcd command (above) to direct your ftp
software to the particular subdirectory you are
interested in.
3)Then:
Type mput *.* or mput *.txt or mput *.gif (as the case
may be) and press ENTER.
CAUTION: If you intend to transfer A LOT of data this
way, please email me first at zzfolm@acc.wuacc.edu or
call me at (913) 231-1010 ext 1041.
