From the first part of the top level README file: --- Welcome to the OCF's Anonymous FTP service --- This ftp site is operated by the Open Computing Facility (OCF) at the University of California Berkeley. For information about the OCF mail to general-manager@ocf.berkeley.edu or finger @ocf.berkeley.edu. You may ftp to any of the machines listed below. They all access the same ftp directory. Use of the machine 'ocf' or 'typhoon' is discouraged as that is our mail machine/gateway. avalanche bigbang blizzard cyclone drought earthquake hailstorm headcrash lightning locusts monsoon sandstorm tempest tornado tsunami volcano ocf typhoon -- BURNS,JIM (returned student & Technology Dynamics staff member, an ATDC co.)
