One was by using a ftp program. If you have Debian already installed, you can use xftp or wxftp-gtk(non-free section). Both seem to work well. If you don't have Debian installed yet, you can use Net Vampire, from win95, which detects whether a file is binary or text automatically (see http://kulichki.rambler.ru/~vampire). Also, if you're using Netscape, you can hold the shift key down while clicking on the file, and it should copy the file exactly.(In my experience, this works sometimes and not others). Hope this helps. Mary
