[news.admin] maps + ftp

wb8foz@mthvax.CS.Miami.Edu (David Lesher) (10/02/89)

We don't keep maps here, mainly because we don't have enough
space to do so. But, despite the wonders of Internet, there
are some times when it would be nice to grep out a site.
Does anybody keep up to date maps on a ftp-ible site?

If you ask the wrong question, you will almost NEVER get the
right answer. What I really need (and wanted to say but
didn't) is a place to telnet to, and grep the maps right there,
almost the way the callbook server @ buffalo or sri-nic.arpa
works. While it would be possible to FTP the world here, grep
out a site, and delete everything before the 'du' Gestapo ;-}
gets me, it would be neither polite nor efficient to do so.

I hope I get as many helpful answers to this question, thanks!
