using telnet to manage dmoz...
In have virtually 0 experience with telnet.I can log in fine but after that its like reading a menu in downtown Tokyo.

I have the dmoz content.rdf.gz on my server (currently in the setup directory where the parse file is, what I need to know is the commands to get it to unzip it and make the parse.rdf.pl work with it.

Thanks for any help

Read the following Thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...w=collapsed&sb=5

Posted just two days ago in the Discussion Forum.

Also, search this forum for tar and read the perldocs via telnet OR search the http://www.perl.com web site if the instructions in the above Thread do not work.

Unfortunately the above help did not aid my situation I search under both terms and went to the web site.

What I am looking for if its out there is
1. do this
2. then this
3. then this...

I know nothing about telnet but how to log in. I need a beginners beginners guide to how to telnet. But I guess there isn't anything like that.

Type in help at the command prompt to get a list of commands you can use.

Then to learn about the vi editor, type in man vi. (type in q to quit).

Then search the web for shell telnet tutorial.

Good luck!

thanks I am finally getting somewhere. Ran into a new problem though when tryign to run the Parse_RDF.pl

Each time I try and run it I get gzip: content_rdf_u8.gz: not in gzip format

I downloaded it just fine and uploaded it without pause as well... why the message?
