+One relatively easy way to create and transfer the necessary files is
+to use the @code{gnupload} script, which is available from the
address@hidden/} directory of the @code{gnulib} project at
address@hidden://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnulib}.  Run @code{gnupload
+--help} for a description and examples.

address@hidden uses the @code{ncftpput} program to do the actual
+transfers; if you don't happen to have the @code{ncftp} package
+installed, you can use the @code{ncftpput-ftp} script as a
+replacement, which uses plain command line @code{ftp}.  It's also
+available from the @file{build-aux/} directory of @code{gnulib}.
