= FTP File Exchange =

An FTP server is available to which, under special circumstances, files may be uploaded. Also, sometimes special distributions or bug fixes are posted to the server for user download.

Use '''ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu'''. Login as '''anonymous''' and use your email addresses as the password.

Example login:

{{{
$ ftp surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu
Connected to surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu (132.183.202.158).
220 surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2-15.7x.legacy) ready.

}}}

If you are getting files, then
{{{
ftp> cd transfer/outgoing
}}}
If you are putting files, then
{{{
ftp> cd transfer/incoming
}}}
If you want the directory containing the public distributions of !FreeSurfer:
{{{
ftp> cd pub/dist
}}}

The '''dir''' command will show directory contents. The '''get''' command will download a file to your machine.

For those inside NMR center, go to '''/space/outgoing''' and put files in its subdirectory. You can get user transfered files from '''/space/incoming'''. It takes 5 minutes or so to actually see the files there after the transfer.
