Okay Folks, here's a replacement for BITFTP. It's called FTPMail and the mailing address is: ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com If you send a letter with only the word "help" in it, the following letter will be spit back at you. >>> this help file was last edited on 15-February-1991 >>> >>> commands are: reply <MAILADDR> set reply addr, since headers are usually wrong connect [HOST [USER [PASS]]] defaults to gatekeeper.dec.com, anonymous ascii files grabbed are printable ascii binary files grabbed are compressed or tar or both compress compress binaries using Lempel-Ziv encoding compact compress binaries using Huffman encoding uuencode binary files will be mailed in uuencode format btoa binary files will be mailed in btoa format ls (or dir) PLACE short (long) directory listing get FILE get a file and have it mailed to you quit terminate script, ignore rest of mail message (use if you have a .signature or are a VMSMAIL user) >>> notes: -> you must give a "connect" command, default host is gatekeeper.dec.com, default user is anonymous, default password is your mail address. -> binary files will not be compressed unless 'compress' or 'compact' command is given; use this if at all possible, it helps a lot. -> binary files will always be formatted into printable ASCII with "btoa" or "uuencode" (default is "btoa"). -> all retrieved files will be split into 60KB chunks and mailed. -> VMS/DOS/Mac versions of uudecode, atob, compress and compact are available, ask your LOCAL wizard about them. -- |NewOrderDepecheModeSiouxsie&TheBanshees| ksk@sactoh0.SAC.CA.US | |ModernEnglishBookofLoveTheCureKraftwerk| ..ames!pacbell!sactoh0!ksk | |KillingJokeBigCountryU2UltravoxFishbone| "Sammy Spermite Strikes Again!" | | Live 105 -=>Long live Modern Rock!<=- | "What would I do w/o the Amiga?" |
