FTP Tip of the Week:
Jim Weisgram, from the Oregon Department of
Transportation, has a simple way
to create an 'index.txt' file of the directories on
your computer:
1. "Using WS_FTP, navigate to the folder in
question on the 'Local System'."
2. "Click the 'DirInfo' button. This will open
the text editor defined in
your custom configuration with the directory
information already pasted in."
3. "From there you can edit and save, or
copy/paste the text into another
application."

SEDS' (Students for the Exploration and Development of
Space) FTP site is
hosted by the University of Arizona, Lunar and
Planetary Laboratory. The
SEDS FTP site is truly extraordinary. It's full of
great images from space
and of the history of space exploration.
You'll first want to go to the 'pubs/' directory where
you'll find a number
of self descriptive directories. I first went to
the 'images/' directory
and found hundreds of images in the various
directories labeled 'sun/',
'deepspace/', 'shuttles/', 'supernovas/', 'comets/'
and much, much more.
Once you get into a directory, the names can be
difficult to decipher.
However, you can usually find an 'index' file that
will help you
tremendously.
Whether you consider your self a space nut or not,
this site is definitely
worth checking out.
