Ok, silly question time...

I finally, after many times tying, got onto the Simtel20 archive.  Being the
self-assured person that I am, I thought that this would be just like any
other ftp site.  Boy, was I wrong.  I send an ls -la command, and I don't
get the pretty Unix ls listing, but I get some directory, but I can't
tell which are subdirectories, or even how to get to them.  They don't
take pwd or ls or get or put or anything!  How does this place work?!

Thanks for any help y'all might give!
