ftp aprs.tamu.edu

cd pub/GNIS

That's where they're stored.  The files you have are already there.  There
are only 13 unique states there right now, it would be good to get a more
complete collection.  I know *somebody* has other states to share.

As far as uploading GNIS files that aren't in the collection, just put 'em in 
the "/incoming" directory and email Gerry to let him know you've done it.  
Gerry's the only one that can move the files to the /pub/GNIS directory.
