Ftp access to ESRF data from Windows
Explaining ftp access to ESRF data prepared by an ESRF staff member (for Windows OS)
Prerequisite:
Your correspondent has stored data on our ftp server. He/she will access ftp://ftpext.esrf.fr/tmp from inside ESRF and create a directory for you.
To reach the data:
The simplest is to open an explorer.
In the explorer, you type ftp://ftp.esrf.eu/tmp in the explorer address bar.
You can then open the directory created by your correspondent and transfer your data to your PC.
You can also open a command window and use the ftp client of Windows.
Open a command prompt: in Vista, go to Accessories; in XP "Start->Run" followed by cmd .
Type:
ftp ftp.esrf.eu
(log in with username ftp and password: your e-mail address)
ftp> cd tmp
ftp> cd <your correspondents directory>
ftp> bin (to set yourself to binary mode)
ftp> mget * (to get all directory contents)
