I typed links2ssl followed by the above (changing password to my own 
password) and it worked.  Thanks.
I made scripts for both shell accounts and I can now 'lgrex' or 'lsdf' for 
a list of downloadable files.  Wget lets me resume broken downloads  (wget 
-c) - does links?  I doubt wget has a listing feature.


This is quicker than starting kermit to use its ftp.
And saves typing the file name.
