[comp.unix.internals] Info. &| source for FTP

roy@alfrat.uucp (Roy Phillips) (09/04/90)

Can anyone help out?    There are lots of sites offering highly
desireable utilities, etc., out there (Emacs, to name one) that 
all require 'ftp' - which we don't happen to have, and which I
know precisely squat about ... If anybody can enlighten me, and
perhaps point me in the direction of the necessary source, I'd
be much obliged! (no ftp, please!).  We are running AT&T/Intel
Unix SysV R3 on i386/i486 hardware (Intel 303, 520).

I've posted a note on it to comp.unix.questions.  This has nothing
to do with internals or SysV on 386s.

>[how to access ftp archives from a host that is not on internet]

There is a mail server that can pick up files for you via ftp and 
then mail them to you.  Try sending a message with the contents:

	help

to bitftp@pucc.bitnet. Followups directed to comp.sources.wanted.
