To upload stuff --- please use the directory /incoming. It is

|
world-writable, but not world-readable, so you (or anybody else) will

not be able to see stuff which you drop there until we move it to the
|
|
proper place the directory hierarchy.
|

|
|
Please send mail to ftp-linux@tsx-11.mit.edu after you leave something
|
|
