I have an "Introduction to Telnet/FTP" workshop that I offer each
semester.  I mostly teach the Telnet command, and I just *talk* about
how to use FTP.  I show overheads of what one would encounter when
FTP'ing to a given site.  I do this for one reason:  I was told that
it is not proper "netiquette" to FTP to ANY site during their prime
hours.  But I have been reading a lot of comments about the best way
to handle the above-mentioned problems.  Do you net-trainers just
still teach your workshops during the day?  Does anyone know of a site
that doesn't mind if network users FTP during the middle of the day?

If anyone knows of such a site, please let me know.  I would love to
be able to have my workshop participants actually FTP while I'm able
to help them.
