[comp.windows.ms] bitftp node not working to cica

joec@Morgan.COM (Joe Collins) (06/19/91)

I normally access 'cica.cica.indiana.edu' via the 
BITNET server by sending mail to  'BITFTP@PUCC.Princeton.edu'
with this sort of text:

          FTP cica.cica.indiana.edu UUENCODE
          USER  anonymous
          CD  /pub/pc/win3/uploads
          GET  mewin_ok.zip
          GET  wingif10.zip
          QUIT
   
This has ALWAYS worked fine.....until my last mail.

My last transmisson resulted in:

18:41:27 >           FTP cica.cica.indiana.edu UUENCODE
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
  * * BITFTP is no longer able to provide service to  * *
  * * nodes that are not directly on EARN or BITNET   * *
  * * or NetNorth.  Your node appears to be           * *
  * * accessible from BITNET only via a mail-only     * *
  * * gateway.  If you believe that your node is      * *

  * * send mail to MAINT@PUCC specifying your         * *
  * * BITNET/EARN/NetNorth node name.                 * *
  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Thus, it appears like I have lost my connection to cica.
I do not know if my node is directly on BITNET et al
so I am at a loss.

Anybody have any suggestions? Help!

Thanks
