another page starting with "Current directory is /". At

"BCU Pickup", right click on your file and from the drop down
menu select "Save Link as". To send us a file which you
want us to image for you, click on the "BCU In Box". This will
take you to another page with a list of directories. Unfortunately, netscape will not
allow you to create a subdirectory, but it will allow you to upload a file directly into
the inbox. To do this, go up to the "File" menu of netscape.
From the drop down menu, select "Upload File...". At this point
a window will appear which will allow you to scroll through your computer and select the
file you want to transfer. Once you've chosen the file, it will be uploaded. You will need
to follow these instructions for each file you want to transfer.
- At this point it is important that you remember to call BCU
at 335-2624, and place your order. Give the clerk all of the necessary information
including the name of your file, the file type, and tell them that your file is in the
InBox, but it is not under a subdirectory.
- Now begin: click here to go to the ftp site.

Using FTP
software
There are many ways of transferring files to BCU
without ever leaving your office. One of those ways is by using an FTP site. FTP stands
for "File Transfer Protocal". If you are not directly hooked up to WSU's College
of Veterinary Medicine NT network, ftp is a viable option. All you need is to be hooked up
to the Internet.
There are many FTP programs out there which
operate within Windows and Macintosh environments. Most of them can be downloaded free
from the Internet. Search around and see if you find any you like. Here are some
suggestions.
There are many other ftp programs that will work
as well. However regardless of which program you are using you will need to utilize the
following information.
