FTP Tip of the Week:
In both WS_FTP Pro and WS_FTP LE, it's easy to specify
both the local
and remote directories when you connect to an FTP
site. Go to the 'Session
Properties' ('Site Properties' in Pro) for the FTP
site you want to
customize and click on the 'Startup' tab. There
you can enter an 'Initial
Remote Site Folder' and an 'Initial Local Folder'

Walnut Creek CD-ROM's FTP site is a game site that's
not exclusively for
the die-hard gamer. With a whole array of game
types from puzzles and
trivia, to arcade and strategy, this FTP site is
definitely worth checking
out.
In general, the site is pretty well laid out and easy
to navigate. Each
directory level has its own index.html file.
When they are up and running,
these files index the contents of their directory -
providing descriptions
with links to the various files.
Similar to most FTP sites, when you first enter the
site you want to go to
the 'pub' sub-directory. There you will find a
number of self-descriptive
directories including 'audio,'cheats', 'demos',etc.
If you are looking for games, you want to go straight
to the 'games'
directory. From there, you will probably
want to go to the 'windows'
directory and then start looking around. You'll
find directories of arcade
games, card games, casino games, sport games, strategy
games and much more.
There should be something there to interest just about
anyone.
