Appendix E. Obtaining Sample Programs
Some of the examples in this book are available electronically by both FTP and FTPMAIL. Use FTP if you are directly on the Internet. Use FTPMAIL if you are not on the Internet but can send and receive electronic mail to Internet sites.
FTP
If you have an Internet connection (permanent or dialup), the easiest way to use FTP is via your web browser or an FTP client. To get the examples, point your browser to ftp://ftp.oreilly.com/published/oreilly/nutshell/bash/examples.tar.gz. If you don’t have a web browser, you can use the command-line FTP client included with Windows NT or Windows 95.
