FTP (Take 2)


I'm getting closer!! I can now get a list of files, but I can't access them....

Blinkenlights

That's no moon, that's a space station!"
Just like Samuel Morse revolutionising communication with the dots and dashes of morse code, towel.blinkinlights has forever changed the way I view "shift 8". Their artistry with the asterisk, the creativity of the comma and the delightful dashing of the ...........ummmm, dash had me in awe (of both their talent and time management skills).

FTP

After numerous attempts at connecting and getting the error message, connection timed out, I got a small taste of victory until another startling red error message failed to retrieve directory listing. But I'm not giving up ..... just like Arni said "I'll be back"
