Yes, but only the 123 manual pages are active.

Some of the 126 and 116 stuff was available before, wasn't it?

FYI All,

I would say that the below site makes the skinnerbox site obsolete since
all the skinnerbox site does is to serve the pdfs, slowly I might add.
Using the below link you can download *ALL* of them to your hard drive at
once in a few zip files then use the web based interface to access them.

Trying to open this I get  550  Passive mode not allowed on this server. I am 
using Mozilla Firefox. Is this just a setting to get to this site?

Unlike Internet Exploder, I'm unaware of any option in FireFox to change between passive and active FTP transfers.  So, 
either use IE, or use an actual FTP program instead of a web browser.  WS_FTP is great, so is CuteFTP, and there are 
tons of free FTP clients out there.

You'll have to use a real FTP client, not a web browser.  I don't 
think Firefox supports active mode, and the person who hosts that site 
has disabled passive mode.  If you're running Windows, WSFTP is one option.

WS_FTP: http://www.ipswitch.com/downloads/index.html
CuteFTP: http://www.cuteftp.com/products/ftp_clients.asp

Grab one of those and use it to access the site, instead of a web browser.

Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - check the box for Enable Folder View for FTP Sites.  Doing that forces IE 
into active FTP, regardless of the whether the box for Use Passive FTP is checked or not.


Better yet, get a real FTP client:

I have tried to use smartFTP, ipswitch WS_FTP, and internet explorer w/the ftp 
box checked and still no luck. Do I type in the full address, 
ftp://Diesel:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
and then hit go? I did this in ipswitch WS-FTP and it did not connect to the 
server. Same thing with internet explorer. Additionally, if I have smartFTP 
open, and I click on the link, it tries to open the server but fails. What else 
could be wrong?

In WS_FTP, you may need to break up that URL and enter the pieces 
separately.


For the hostname (or server, I forget what WS_FTP calls it) put:
telshena.dyndns.org

For the username, put:
Diesel

For the password, put:
diesel
