This is the third time in the past week that I've seen a reference to downloading from ftp.apple.com. Is it open? How do I access it? My past attempts to get into the "dts" or "cd-rom" directories have been met with "Permission denied".

I have had the same thing happen to me. I can't find the directory called pub anywhere. Thanks in advance. Peter

An FTP site apple.com is open and it has directories like /pub/. A number of Macintosh-related files are in /pub/dts/mac/... An FTP site ftp.apple.com is there and it lets me in to its root diectory as USER ANONYMOUS, but not beyond it. For instance, I see a directory /dts/ in it,but it refuses an access there. I _THINK_ I heard that code examples etc from D e v e l o p will be on either apple.com or ftp.apple.com, but I haven't seen them. It will be also nice to have latest versions of ResEdit, MacsBug etc but they are not there. - Nobu Toge (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) - Factual observations or my personal opinions only. - My employer, Stanford University and U.S. DoE are UNrelated.

You can't get into any directory at ftp.apple.com that doesn't have
"others" execute permission. This is shown by an "x" in the last
position of the permissions entry. For example:
drwx------ 6 mjohnson archivis 512 Aug 24 1990 dts
^
You can't get into dts.
drwxr-xr-x 2 blob archivis 512 Feb 26 14:49 cd-rom
drwxr-xr-x 6 blob archivis 512 Oct 22 20:20 nerdtools
^
You can get into cd-rom and nerdtools.

Just ftp to apple.com (130.43.2.2). The mac stuff is located in /pub/dts/mac. Chris Kidwell ck31+@andrew.cmu.edu
