Fri 25-Jan-91: The uwasa.fi anonymous ftp archives of PD and
shareware programs have now been moved from chyde.uwasa.fi
(128.214.12.3) to garbo.uwasa.fi (128.214.12.37). This move was
made necessary by running out of file space on chyde.uwasa.fi which
is our central computer, and which we need for the university's
immediate data processing needs. Garbo is a MIPS R2030 workstation
brought to the benefit of the net under the auspices of the computer
centre of the University of Vaasa, Finland, so that this anonymous
ftp distribution activity didn't have to be discontinued.
If you have been downloading by anonymous ftp (either manual or
batchftp) from chyde.uwasa.fi the only change you'll have to make is
the address change from chyde.uwasa.fi to garbo.uwasa.fi. Let me,
at the same time, remind you of the preference to use automated ftp
(batchftp) for your downloads. It is more effective, and more
convenient also for yourself.
If you have been using our mail server for downloading, the new
address is mailserv@garbo.uwasa.fi and the new subject line
garbo-request. The body of the message is as before. Let me remind
you not to use mail servers, if you are able to use ftp, and first
look for a mail server near you.
These are not (nor meant to be) the instructions for our mail
server. If you don't know how to use it, DON'T experiment. First
ask Timo (ts@chyde.uwasa.fi) for the full prerecorded instructions.
If you have kindly been uploading files to us to the /incoming
directory, here we have made changes. The method is the same, but
there are now several incoming directories including:
/pc/incoming
/unix/incoming
If you are not a seasoned user of uwasa.fi archives, you are
welcome to email Timo for the prerecorded instructions (for ftp, the
mail server, and uploading), which have been updated in accordance
with the changes made.
Be prepared to the possibility that things may not be running
quite as smooth from the beginning as they used to. Until we
moderators, and you users, get the new system flowing we'll repeat
this posting if necessary.
