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.
