[comp.sys.tandy] M100 - ftp sites

brugler@function.mps.ohio-state.edu (Dale Brugler) (09/28/90)

Has anyone been having problems ftp'ing to these sites to get the model 100
programs? I can;t connect to either one. I am using the standard scheme (login:
anonymous ; password: my address) yet it will not let me log on.

Any suggestions? Am I doing something wrong?

Trying to connect to 128.109.153.4:

Well there are logical reasons for all the problems that you are having:

Concerning ftp site 128.109.153.4

The reason you are having problems is that the login to use is PUBLIC and
not anonymous.  Also send NO password when asked.  Once you have successfully
connected you will find the software in the directories:

	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1001]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1002]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1003]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1004]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1005]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1006]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1007]
	pub1:[center.public.mod100.mod1008]

Make sure you type the full path name when you try to change directories.
I would suggest that you first telnet to this site and login in as PUBLIC.
If you do this they have a front-end which is similiar to a BBS from which
you can get help and a listing of the files.


Concerning ftp site uxa.cso.uiuc.edu

Well it looks like information about the University of Illnois site has
been distributed premeturely by some of the individuals who I have informed
of this site.  For the record EVERYBODY please note:

	As of 9/28/90 the ftp site is not yet ready for use.  I
	am currently working with the officials in the Computer
	Services Office on the creation of this site on 
	ux1.cso.uiuc.edu.  Currently the space is being freed on
	the machine and I am preparing software and software
	listings on a seperate machine.  When the site is running
	I will post a listing of the files available and any
	other pertinant information.  For those who have heard
	rumors about a site at uxa.cso.uiuc.edu there is NO site
	there.  I have allowed a few individuals to ftp from my
	working directory and some of these individuals I believe
	mistook that for the ftp site.  I am sorry for this 
	confusion.

Now that the information concerning this site's creation is out let me
tell you a little about what it will be when it is ready.  My name is
Jeff Cortez and I have wrangled about 2 MEG of disk space on ux1 for
storage of files on the Model 100.  I currently have collected in the
range of 640K of software.  Anyone who is interested in summitting new
software please email me at jmc10392@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu.  I have enough
room for tons of software so don't hesitate just because you do not
think anyone else would loke to use it.  If only one other person
wants to use it, it will be worth the effort.

Hello! I was the one who posted about an anonymous ftp model 100
server at Univ. of IL... The files *ARE* at UXA but unfortunately,
I found out there's NO anonymous FTP there....

Approval has been cleared for the files to be placed on another machine:

ux1.cso.uiuc.edu

but the files are not quite there yet.. They should be within
a week or so... You *CAN* anonymous ftp there right now to see
other files that are there...
Thanks
George
PS I'm still collecting/compiling a list of Model 100/102 users
who would be willing to have their email address in a list for
exchange of ideas and info on the Model 100... I also recently
got a NEC PC8201A computer which is like the Model 100 and would
also like to know who else has one of these...
