Well, chances are, if you are here, you wanna know how to FTP a file to
the State of Insanity. I have been using CuteFTP for some time now, and
am pretty familiar with how it works. If you send me cash, small unmarked
bills, no consecutive serial numbers, I will tell ya how to use it.
ONLY kidding.....DUH.....*wink*
The first thing you have to do, is download a copy of CuteFTP from here!
There is both a 16bit
version, appropriate for Windows 3.xx,and a 32bit
version, for Windows '95, so make sure you download the correct version.
Then unzip it, and double click its little icon, and it will present you
with your first screen, it should look something like this:
Now, you need to add the State of Insanity to the list, so you can connect
to SOI, and transfer your files there. The first step, would be to click
Personal FTP Sites, which will change the display to look like this:
Now you need to click the button that says Add site, so we can add the
important data about The State of Insanity's FTP site. After clicking it,
you will get a window like this:
Looks a little scary, huh. Lots of little boxes and check off's that need
attention.
Well, we are gonna simplify this for ya' a whole bunch. Just fill in the
Boxes like this:

Host Address: 165.212.218.7
-
username: anonymous

-
Login type: anonymous
-
Transfer type: Auto-Detect
-
Initial Remote Directory: \room111\your primary user-name @ soi (for
example, \room111\ssr)
-
The rest of the boxes should be left as is.

Click OK
Now you will have a screen the looks like this:
Cool, huh! Now you are ready to connect, and ftp some files, aren't ya!!
Well, it won't be much longer. Just a few more things you need to do, before
you will be suckin up internet bandwidth with your all important files!
