Use the scrollbars on the xterm that you're using.  If you're using an
xterm and don't see scrollbars try typing Control and then holding
down the middle mouse button...

Use a browser like Netscape to get to the FTP site.  When you get to
the directory that you're interested in, scroll around in the browser.

Type something like "ls foo*" to filter out all of the cruft that
you're not interested in.

There you go,
