A Plan for Staff In-Service

ANONYMOUS FTP GUIDELINES
- Respond to the LOGIN prompt with anonymous.
- Respond to the PASSWORD prompt with your email address so the site can track the level of ftp usage. the address causes an error, enter guest.
- Limit downloads, especially large ones. Do them after business hours for local sites and in the evening for remote ftp hosts.
- Adhere to the time restrictions as requested by ftp sites. Think in terms of "their time" and not local time, if you're using a site in another time zone.
- Check for copyright and licensing agreements when downloading programs. If the software is beneficial to you, pay the author's registration fee. If in doubt, don't copy it. Copyrighted software sometimes gets into ftp archives.
- For your own protection, never install any software obtained over the Internet without running good virus protection software on it. Not checking downloaded software is an excellent way to infect your own computer with a costly virus.
