>I've been doing some confocal imaging on an MRC-600 laser-scanning confocal

>DOS-software (COMOS) placed them on, to the Mac I've got here.

>I know that the workstation controlling the scope at U.Penn. is connected

>here via Apple's LocalTalk hardware but may soon have an EtherNet
>connection ourselves.  Might it be best to send these files over the
>network.  If so, how would I do that (e.g., can I ftp them from one machine
>to the other?)

>Thanks ahead of time for the assistance.

Bill-  We FTP our BioRad images to our SGI and Mac all the time.  Just be
sure to set the filetype to binary (i.e., give the command "binary" before
the "put filename" command).
