FTP Etiquette

• Not every site which supports FTP allows anonymous transfers
• Don't pester FTP administrators with any questions you might have. They are under no obligation to support you
• Normally, you should limit your accesses to non-business hours (FTP site local time)
• This is especially true when accessing sites on another continent
• Don't transfer files indiscriminantly
• Have some idea what you're transferring and think through your need to have such files
• If you find some files which may be of interest to others at your own site, publicize it and try to make it available
