File Transfer programms.

Since you have an account at AccessNet, you can transfer files from specilized hosts in the InterNet.
Anonymous FTP is simply the convention of allowing FTP connections from anyone who logs in as "anonymous" or "ftp" and uses their e-mail address for the password.

If you are dialed in with a regular communication program, to pull a file to AccessNet you can transfer file via "menu" command or from the command line "ftp", "ncftp", "lynx".
Then use Zmodem or Kermit to transfer it to your PC.
You can also use "zmftp" - to receive file from remote host using the Internet File Transfer Protocol and transmit it to the client side using the Zmodem file transfer protocol.
