You need convert the file into a binary or a binhexed file. Stuffit
Deluxe can do this for you. Then ftp it up to the site using a program
like fetch or the MC stack Andu created. His stack is avail on the MC
site: ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/
His file is called: ftp-q_b12.mc
If you use fetch, there is a setting that makes sure the file goes up in
either bin or binhex format. This setting is selectable when you press
the put button.
That is all!

p.s. I changed the subject because it had the standard list subject line.
