but I have no idea how the server is set up.
For security reasons, that kind info will not be available to anyone. Weather(sp) it runs on *NIX, Windows, OS/2, or NetWare is not important when it comes to you all connecting to it. What you will be required to know is how to connect to the server behind it's firewall. A Passive connection (Also called PASV) has to be setup in your FTP client. As for how this is configured on your end I can only offer limited support in that it can vary too much between the different FTP clients out there. Having a good working knowledge of FTP, or knowing someone that lives near you that does, would be a good thing. :) Once the server is available to the public, all the info you will need to connect will be sent to you once your personal account is created. A reminder for those just joining the mailing list: This server is not officially supported by Yello. I'm like you all: A huge Yello fan that wants to share in the experience of the rare Yello tracks. :) As for an index of the file listings: There will be 00-index.txt files in each directory that will tell you what each file is. Most FTP clients can interpret them and automatically list them next to the file name in your client. Unfortunately, it will have to be done manually as I have yet to find a utility that will index music files from the ID descriptions. So far I've only found one that will use the FILE_ID.DIZ file embedded in a ZIP file. 'nuff for now. Keep the ideas coming! :)
