Problem:
This example demonstrates how to create a link to an FTP site and also how to create an E-mail link from an HTML form designed with Form Designer. The input form is from an imaginary company and allows you to connect to an FTP site which is actually the Microsoft ftp site at Microsoft.com. The HTML document ftplinks.htm will be displayed in your browser. When the exit submit button is pressed, the CGI program FTP0501.EXE will be run which will display the output form ftplinks-out.htm. This form simply outputs a "Thank You" message to the user and offers a link back to the main page.
