I'm looking for guides and advice on training users to use anonymous
FTP.  I have an outline and such, and plenty of experience, so mostly
I'm looking for ideas and perspectives more than a place to begin.

But I do also have one specific problem.  I'll be in a room with 20
users at 20 machines.  If everyone tries to FTP to the same place, we'll
have problems.  How have trainers dealt with this?  Every approach I
can think of seems to present its own difficulties.  I could give each
person a different place to go.  I could use a projector and just have
them watch me do it.  I could try to find a place that would accept
20 simultaneous logins (!).  Or I could cancel class.  :-)

Any ideas?
