I'm sure this has been asked before (please! no flames) but here
goes anyway.
I've heard it's possible to anonymous FTP from a UUCP site. Is this
true? If so, can someone post or e-mail me the procedure to do so.
Thank You

If so, can someone post or e-mail me the procedure to do so. False. What you \can/ do as a UUCP-only site: 1) Anonymous UUCP (*not* FTP) from sites that offer it; you pay for the phone call. 2) Mail to someone (or something, e.g. archive server) to request a file transfer on your behalf, which, depending on your connectivity would be either uucp'ed (uuto'ed?) or mailed back. (It's highly unlikely anyone would allow you to uux ftp or any of its variants directly, but it's technically possible.) See the newsgroup comp.archives for more information. -=EPS=-
