ftp.funet.fi (nic.funet.fi, 128.214.6.100): /pub/sci/neural/01README

This is an FTP archive for all kinds of artificial neural network,
neurophysiology and neuropsychology stuff; computer programs
and scientific articles in electronic format.
  Here are many of the programs and papers that I have been able
to find around the world, but not all (for instance the
comp.ai.neural-nets archive and other similar very big and little used
archives).
  Ftp.funet.fi is one of the largest FTP archives in the world in many
subjects, not just neural nets. Log in for more information.
  For other interesting AI stuff, see /pub/sci/ai (the new and shiny).

  NEW! See our WWW page: http://www.funet.fi/sci/neural/

Foreigners:
	Almost all of the files here are also available from FTP sites in USA!
	Please read the file .../04Neural_FTP_Sites

Administration:
	Neural-Admin-List	neural-adm@ftp.funet.fi (only me currently)
	(Marko Gronroos	 	magi@ftp.funet.fi (magi@utu.fi))

/pub/sci/neural/02INFODIR is a directory that contains all kinds of
information files, references, hints, introductions, indexes, etc. If
you are looking for something particular, please consult this
directory. It is also available through WAIS (Wide Area Information
Service), with source name neuralfunic.src (hopefully). I am currently
planning to make a WWW node for neural information (a so-called 'project').
  I don't get anything except your happiness for maintaining this
archive, so I can't afford to use as much time doing it as I'd like to.
Any job offers are welcome.

---------------------------- How To Get A File --------------------------------

To use FTP, type at the UNIX or VMS prompt:

$ ftp ftp.funet.fi

or

$ ftp 128.214.6.100 (DANGER: Services are bound on NAMES, not IP numbers!)

Here is a simple list of FTP program commands
binary				- Changes transfer mode to binary (!!!!!)
cd directoryname		- Changes the current directory
get filename			- Gets a file
get filename local-filename	- Gets a file and changes it's name
get 00README /dev/tty		- Types this file on terminal in UNIX systems
mget *.ps.Z			- Gets multiple files. Try 'prompt' before this
quit				- Ends the FTP session

Here is an example log of a FTP session
