: Since CGI.pm is coming from a Unix system (and expects to exist in a POSIX
: environment), you must use bytestream mode, i.e.:

: :ftp.arpa.sys
: ftp> open the.site.to.download.from
: ftp> bytestream
: ftp> get CGI.pm ./CGI.pm
: --
You can also put a bytestream file to a 3000 by using the tenex mode.
Bytestream is not a supported mode on other systems. The following is
an HP-UX example:

$ ftp
ftp> open hp3k
Connected to hp3k.
