There is a ftp nalimov tablebase. Can anyone tell me how to put this to use?
Is it meant for downloading?

Download, and configure your Nalimov-enabled chess engine to know
where the files have been placed. (You can also get many of the
files on DVD -- ChessBase sells them, and I believe there are
other sources as well.)
