ts@uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi) (10/09/90)
There is one detail that seems to cause problems to users of our
experimental mail server at chyde.uwasa.fi. This is the path-name
convention which differs from the anonymous ftp (longer) convention.
The latter part of this extract from chyde.uwasa.fi prerecorded
instructions should hopefully be of some help.
2. *****
Q: I have no ftp access to your system. Would you please send your
programs to me by email.
A1: To get files sent to you by email, please use our mail server.
To get more information write a message to hv@chyde.uwasa.fi.
The subject line of this message must be
chyde-request
The message must contain just the following text (at the beginning
of the line):
send help
Do not include a signature because it may confuse the server.
If you do not understand, please don't send the mail server request.
If you have ftp capability, please use ftp, since it causes less load.
A2: The format for the file name when using ANONYMOUS FTP is e.g.
/pc/ts/tsbat21.arc
This FTP format is used in most of our news announcements.
IMPORTANT!!! The format for the MAIL SERVER is shorter:
send ts/tsbat21.arc
In other words omit /pc/ from the path when using our mail server.
