[comp.sys.amiga.datacomm] ftp mail servers

Could someone give me some help as to how get a ftp mail server to work?  I
have been trying to get the UUCP 1.08 off abcfd20 with no success.  I have
been trying to following:

To: serene!ucsd!pucc.princeton.edu!bitftp
Subject: FTP mail server file request

HELP
FTP  abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov UUENCODE
USER  anonymous
DIR
etc...
QUIT

UCSD is a well connected internet site, but I might as well be sending this
to null: because I have not recieved anything in return, not bounced mail,
not a error message from pucc or from abcfd20.  Does anyone have any
suggestions?  I would really like to get this working.

I know that there mail servers require that pucc is able to build a return
path to my machine, but I have never had any trouble with anyone not being
able to reply to my post, if you would like to test it, you could allways
hit the 'r' key and maybee mail me UUCP1.08 :-)

Thanks for any advice,


-Jason-

 Can anyone suggest any mail servers that provide anon ftp services to
the UK. 
I used to use BITNET but that no longer allows UK users to use it.

Any help much appreciated.
