[comp.sys.apple] FTP Help Needed

MACAUSLANDR@watt.ccs.tuns.ca (Robert MacAusland) (02/14/90)

I recently discovered that FTP had been added to our system, but every
node I try to FTP comes back with the reply 'Unknown Host'  Is there
special trick to using FTP?

  If you don't have a nameserver, then you'll have to use the
ipaddress for the sites.  Here's a few decent sites for Apple stuff...

Site name		ARPA number
-------------------------------------
husc6.harvard.edu	128.103.1.56
him1.umich.edu		35.1.1.43	
f.ms.uky.edu		128.163.128.6
apple.com		130.43.2.2
plains.nodak.edu	134.129.111.64
cunixc.cc.columbia.edu	128.59.40.130
zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu	128.174.20.50
shark.nosc.mil		128.49.80.1

  Try using the numbers, ie "ftp 130.43.2.2".  Hope this stuff
helps...
