10.   FTP

10.5   What are the ls-lr files I see on ftp?

They are index files that list a site's directory structure and files (the name ls-lr derives from a Unix command). They may be zipped, as they can be of substantial size, and are often found in the /pub directory that most sites use as a "root" directory for their publicly accessible material. Within each individual directory you will also often find an index file giving brief details of the files in that particular directory.
