Moving files from unix to a floppy disk

At an ATT computer in Hill Hall, log into the Novell guest directory.  At
that point, create a subdirectory, e.g.
 
    guest>mkdir louie
 
but do not change to "louie" while at the system level.  The point of this is
to have an area on \guest where you will not have others' files mixed with
yours.
 
Next:
 
    guest>telnet pegasus     
 
Login to your pegasus account as usual.
 
Then cd to any subdirectory from which you want to move all or selected
files.
 
Then enter
 
    $ALT T
 
which will cause the proper address to be given for your own startup machine.
It will also prompt you for a login, and you will see that it has supplied
your proper login name.  WHEN IT PROMPTS YOU  FOR A PASSWORD, DON't USE
YOUR NORMAL PASSWORD, BUT HIT  ALT-W instead!  That will complete the
login for ftp (file transfer program)
 
Once at the ftp> prompt, type:

    pwd
 
That will show the directory to which any files will be "put," usually
A:\telnet, or some such.
 
If you want to move your files to your own floppy in B:
 
    cd b:
    pwd
 
'pwd' will confirm B: as your new transfer directory.
 
If you will be moving binary files (program files, graphics files....),
at this point you should enter


     binary


If you are moving text files, you do not need to enter 'binary.'

If you want to move files to the directory, g:\guest:
 
    cd g:
    cd guest
    pwd
 
To move all files from your current pegasus directory:
 
    mput *.* x:    [where 'x' is g: or b: or....., i.e., the drive
                       you have just set up the transfer directory]
 
That's it.
 
If you want to move a single file, use 'put' instead of 'mput.'
 
If you moved them to g:\guest, you will next want to move to another machine
of the sort that takes the disks where you wish to put them.  At that
machines copy prompt (or at g:\guest\louie), enter
 
    copy *.* x:  [where x: is the drive of the disk where you wish to
                 store them.
 
Finally, erase your files from g:\guest\louie   and  rmdir \louie.
 
In some cases you will also want to go back to delete the files from
pegasus.

Footnote:  to move files the other way, follow the same procedure, but
replace 'mput' with 'mget' or 'put' with 'get'
