[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] background ftp

george@rex.cs.tulane.edu (Roy George) (06/02/89)

Hi there,
I was looking for the source file of bftp- background ftp- which I
believe allows the user to do 'other things' while files are being
ftp'ed over.  Could someone email me the file or tell me where it is
available.
Thanks in advance
Roy George

It's availiable via anonymous ftp to uxc.cso.uiuc.edu.  The
compressed tar file is in net/BFTP.12.tar.Z, and the individual
files are also in net/bftp.

The latest version of the source for BFTP, "BFTP.201.tar.X", is 
available via anonymous FTP from venera.isi.edu, in the "pub/" 
directory.  (The version may change from time to time.)

In addition RFC 1068, which provides a more complete description 
of BFTP, is available from the SRI-NIC, via mail or FTP.
