Re: Fix Central cume to image catalog

[Jerry Draper <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an FTP script from a recent FTP load of an image catalog:

anonymous abcdefghi
namefmt 1
lcd /optvrt/C6320

cd /ccss/B59192/abcdefghi/C
get ftpMF59753.txt
get ilstMF59753.txt
binary
get MF59753_1.bin
get MF59753_2.bin
get MF59753_3.bin

get MF59753_6.bin
get MF59753_7.bin
get MF59753_8.bin
get MF59753_9.bin
get MF59753_10.bin
