[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] sources for RFC on FTP

fxs@stowe.UUCP (Fran Sullivan) (01/08/91)

One of our programmers is looking for some rfc on FTP.
We connect through UUNET, and usually they have most of
what we need. (but not the following) :

> 1)    rfc765
> 2)    rfc697
> 3)    rfc691
> 4)    rfc640
> 5)    rfc542
> 
Does anybnody have any idea where these RFCs live ?

Thanks for your time.

For copies of RFCs, all you need to do is send mail (with a null body) to:

service@sri-nic.arpa

put the RFC number in the subject line e.g. 

subject:RFC951

Good luck,

Sorry about the re-post, but I forgot to mention that mail to 
service@sri-nic.arpa with a valid RFC number in the subject line
will result in return mail the following day. You will be sent the
RFCs you requested.

Whew!

RFCs can be obtained via FTP from NIC.DDN.MIL, with the pathname
RFC:RFCnnnn.TXT (where "nnnn" refers to the number of the RFC).  Login
with FTP, username "anonymous" and password "guest".

The NIC also provides an automatic mail service for those sites which
cannot use FTP.  Address the request to SERVICE@NIC.DDN.MIL and in the
subject field of the message indicate the RFC number, as in "Subject:
RFC nnnn".
