When you log into an "anonymous FTP" place, you log in as account "anonymous". When it asks for a password, it doesn't matter what you type. But whatever it is gets stored on that system. The guys who set up the anonymous FTP usually have gone to an enormous amount of work, and they obviously would like to know who is using it. So as a matter of courtesy, you should use your normal login name as the password so they know you've been there. This way they get a warm-and-fuzzy feeling to compensate them for all the work they've done - since they're not going to get any other reward for it.

Can somebody post the anonymous ftp addresses for amiga
stuff? Or any ftp addresses for that matter. (That is again, for
amiga stuff) Thanks.

hence, to direct USENET access.

Please keep me informed about any new sites, mail-archives, IP-addresses, and directories, as well as the ones which have been removed, changed, or manipulated (enough to make this list "old"). I'd appreciate it. My plan is to extend the list of mail servers and UUCP ftp sites etc., in order to enable people without access to Internet to have some sort of software source. If you operate such a server or site, please send me couple of lines describing how people can connect to it, or send requests, what kind of programs you have, whether it is also accessible via Internet anonymous ftp, if yes what the IP-address is, what the directories are etc. Include any information you think would be appropriate. I will add those instructions to the end of this list, and won't be able to check their validity (is there someone willing to make that test for me?). Internet anonymous ftp sites will be checked as before. Still, I may miss some directories or removed sites since I don't have infinite supply of time to spend on this list. So, please do not ignore the previous paragraph. Another thing: Since many people were asking me where a specific file could be found, because they thought that I also know the contents of the archives since I know their names, I decided to be able to answer such questions instead of saying, "Sorry, I don't know!". I set up a mechanism to extract the contents of FTP-sites using 'ls -CFRla' once a week. So, I *may* be able to answer your questions. e.g. if you ask the whereabouts of NIB, I'll do a 'fgrep -i nib *' over my files of directory listings, and tell you that they seem to be existing in f.ms.uky.edu. Also, if you wish, I can email you those directory listings (either one or all of them). However, there is no guarantee that they reflect the *latest* contents of that site. No, I don't have this service for Mail servers. *You* can always send a request to the server for its index. I shouldn't be contributing to the load.

Anonymous UUCP is not supported. All lines of the incoming mail message are ignored except lines that begin with either "path" or "send". (For compatibility with other servers, "help" and "index" are also recognized and are treated as equivalent to "send help" and "send index".) If a line saying "path route-from-us-to-you" is encountered, it will be used for any subsequent mail. If the path line is missing, the system will try to determine the reply address; it's pretty good at guessing, but it's not perfect. Try it initially without the path line; if you don't get an answer in a reasonable period, try again with one. We run a full domain router, so the route-from-me-to-you should be a domain address (or a UUCP psuedo-domain address) if you have one. Start with "send help" for information on how to get started. The mail server is actually the beta test version of an archive server that I hope to fill with Amiga sources and binaries. If you are interested in providing some feedback, try the requests "send help" and "send index" to see how to use it. I'd appreciate any help you can offer in getting this started. There's only about 15MB of stuff so far, so I need to make arrangements to get access to more of the comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga archives; anybody have this in a form that I can conveniently get? ---------------------------------- SERVER 2 ---------------------------------- Correspondence to: archive-management%kilowatt@sun.com Requests to: archive-server%kilowatt@sun.com (domain address) ...!sun!kilowatt!archive-server (UUCP path) Kilowatt is not FTP-accessible outside Sun. UUCP to the machine is not available. The archives are organized into a series of directories and subdirectories. There is only one index. If you ask for an index of a subdirectory, the server will return the top-level directory index. This is because we don't want to maintain 24 different index files. The archive server has 4 commands. Each command must be the first word on a line. The archive server reads your entire message before it does anything, so you can have several different commands in a single message. The archive server treats the "Subject:" header line just like any other line of the message. You can use any combination of upper and lower case letters in the commands. Start with a message that says "help" for information on how to get started. Please add a line saying "path someroute" (you fill in "someroute" with a way to get from Sun to where you are). It will be used to reply to your mail. The best way to go would be to either use a fully qualified Internet domain name. If you can't, supply an address relative to a known Internet host (e.g. host!user@uunet.uu.net). The mail code of the server software isn't too smart - if your mail comes in with anything other than a domain address and you haven't supplied a 'path', chances are good the reply will fall into a black hole. The archive server acknowledges your request by return mail. If you don't get a message back in a few days (depending on how close you are to Sun on the network) you should assume something is going wrong, and perhaps try sending another request, this time with a different "path" command. If you aren't getting anywhere, try sending a message to "archive-management" at kilowatt (instead of user "archive-server") where it will be read by a live, warm person who might be able to figure out how to help you. The server enforces a concept of quotas and limitations, because the delivery resources are finite, and there may be many people who would like to make use of the archive. For details request the "help" file. ================================ END OF LIST ================================= This file cheerfully lifted from... >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >| Mr. Tuna Ertemalp | Manzanita Park 26X | Small things together | >| Stanford University | Stanford University | form the quality, | >| Computer Science MS | Stanford, CA 94305, USA | But quality is not a | >| Ertem@Polya.Stanford.Edu | (415) 328-8515 | small thing! | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- | Sean T.
