rem *** FILE:
rem ***   ~matth3bishop/BatchScripts/getf.txt
rem *** DESCRIPTION:
rem ***   This batch program automates the 
rem ***   process of downloading a file from  the
rem ***   Yahoo Geocities ftp server for the
rem ***   website at
rem ***   http://www.geocities.com/matth3wbishop
rem ***   The script uses ascii mode by default
rem ***   Add the -a switch when behind a firewall
rem ***   and when your ftp program supports the -a
rem ***   or -passive (linux) switch
rem *** PARAMETERS:
rem ***   1st: the file to upload. This parameter
rem ***     can also be '*' to indicate that all
rem ***     files in the specified directory should
rem ***     be downloaded from the 'matth3wbishop' account
rem ***     on the Geocities ftp server. However no
rem ***     other 'globbing' is allowed at present.
rem ***   2nd: is a subdirectory
rem ***   3rd: allows the file to be uploaded
rem ***     in binary mode (eg MS Word Documents)
rem *** EXAMPLES:
rem ***   Example 1:
rem ***    'getf SomeTextFile.txt' gets the file named
rem ***    SomeTextFile.txt from the home directory of
rem ***    the 'matth3wbishop' geocities site using the
rem ***    Ascii mode of transfer.
rem ***    The url of the file will be
rem ***     http://www.geocities.com/matth3wbishop/SomeTextFile.txt
rem ***   Example 2:
rem ***    'getf index.html Resumes' downloads an html
rem ***    file from the Resumes subdirectory on the
rem ***    matth3wbishop geocities site. Its url will be
rem ***     http://www.geocities.com/matth3wbishop/Resumes/index.html
rem ***      or just
rem ***     http://www.geocities.com/matth3wbishop/Resumes
rem ***   Example 3:
rem ***    'getf aLetter.doc cv -binary'
rem ***    downloads the Microsoft Word document aLetter.doc
rem ***    from the cv subdirectory on the matth3wbishop site
rem ***    using binary mode. -b and -bin are also
rem ***    acceptable aliases.
rem ***   Example 4:
rem ***    'getf aLetter.doc . -b'
rem ***    downloads the MS word Document from the home
rem ***    directory of the 'matth3wbishop' site on
rem ***    Yahoo Geocities and uses the binary mode
rem *** NOTES:
rem ***   The file needs to be renamed to
rem ***   getf.bat for it to run under Windows/DOS
rem *** AUTHOR: 
rem ***   m.j.bishop (matth3wbishop@yahoo.com)
rem *** TESTING:
