ianr@mullian.ee.mu.OZ.AU (Ian ROWLANDS) (02/15/91)
Seeing that an FTP list hasn't come out for quite some time, I've decided to issue one. This list is based on the one issued in November 1990, and I have checked most of the sites in that list. Hence I have deleted all of the sites that don't have anything, but don't know about any new sites that have developed. I suggest that if you know of a new site that isn't on the list, please let me know ASAP. I'll update the list in a week or so in order to include any new sites. As I mentioned, this list is ENTIRELY based on Juan Orlandini's (juan@cc.gatech.edu) list. I appreciate the work he did (still doing?) on the list. Remember, for new submissions : MAIL TO ianr@mullian.ee.mu.oz.au (preferred address) OR ianr@gpark.pub.uu.oz.au Enjoy, Ian --------------------------------------------------------------------------- AMIGA SOFTWARE SOURCES (February 16, 1991) The following is a list of mail-servers, BBS services, and anonymous Internet FTP sites that I know, and which provide a large selection of Amiga software. This list has just been recommenced. Obviously Juan hasn't had time to continue with this list. (Although if he wants to continue doing it, he's welcome!) PLEASE keep me informed about its accuracy. Please keep me informed about any new sites, mail-archives, IP-addresses, and directories, as well as the ones which have been removed, changed, or manipulated (enough to make this list "old"). I'd appreciate it. I do verify that the sites exist when I enter them, but don't continue the checking. So you have to tell me when a site disappears. Also, please E-MAIL any corrections to me - I may miss it if you post it (although I do read the groups). Also if you email me something, which does not show up in the next version, I probably forgot to include it - remind me again, please. You will see a section below which is titled "CHANGES THIS MONTH". Lines in that section may start with !, -, or +. They mean "changed", "removed", and "added", respectively. The "TZ" column shows the timezone of that site. This might not be very important to people in the US, but since the sites shouldn't be used 0600-1800 local time weekdays so as not to bog things down, people in Europe should be helped by this. "e,c,m,p" means eastern, central, mountain & pacific, respectively. Sites ending with .fi is in Finland (Greenwich+2). Also for new sites, PLEASE tell me the time zone. I'm in Australia, and don't know the zones. My plan is to extend the list of mail servers and UUCP ftp sites etc., in order to enable people without access to Internet to have some sort of software source. If you operate such a server or site, please send me couple of lines describing how people can connect to it, or send requests, what kind of programs you have, whether it is also accessible via Internet anonymous ftp, if yes what the IP-address is, what the directories are etc. Include any information you think would be appropriate. I will add those instructions to the end of this list, and won't be able to check their validity (is there someone willing to make that test for me?). Internet anonymous ftp sites will be checked as before. Still, I may miss some directories or removed sites since I don't have infinite supply of time to spend on this list. So, think twice before flaming me... Some of the Internet sites also provide BBS service. I marked them as such. To connect to them as BBS, use 'telnet' instead of 'ftp'. Thanks very much to many people who contributed to the creation and maintenance of this list. It is in no way my original work (although I put lotsa time into it). It is just a collection of information which wouldn't be possible without those people. Once more, thanks to all those that send me mail about new sites and corrections. Without you, this list is impossible. I'm always glad to hear from anyone, so mail away!

Anonymous UUCP is not supported. All lines of the incoming mail message are ignored except lines that begin with either "path" or "send". (For compatibility with other servers, "help" and "index" are also recognized and are treated as equivalent to "send help" and "send index".) If a line saying "path route-from-us-to-you" is encountered, it will be used for any subsequent mail. If the path line is missing, the system will try to determine the reply address; it's pretty good at guessing, but it's not perfect. Try it initially without the path line; if you don't get an answer in a reasonable period, try again with one. We run a full domain router, so the route-from-me-to-you should be a domain address (or a UUCP psuedo-domain address) if you have one. Start with "send help" for information on how to get started. The mail server is actually the beta test version of an archive server that I hope to fill with Amiga sources and binaries. If you are interested in providing some feedback, try the requests "send help" and "send index" to see how to use it. I'd appreciate any help you can offer in getting this started. There's only about 15MB of stuff so far, so I need to make arrangements to get access to more of the comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga archives; anybody have this in a form that I can conveniently get? ============================================================================== ------------------------------ Server 2 -------------------------------------- Announcing MRCserv, a mailserver based at Mount Royal College. MRCserv is a MAIL ONLY based server. Mount Royal is not on the Internet so FTP access is not supported. Anonymous UUCP is also not supported. All commands to the server must be in the BODY of the message. The subject line is ignored. The address of the server is MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA Mount Royal College is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Our time zone is MST. Please try and restrict your archive access to non-prime hours (primetime is 07:00 - 17:00). MRCserv is currenly in BETA test. If you experence any problems please send e-mail to RMF@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA | There had been a fatal bug in the server in that it would inform | you of files being sent, but they never were (BETA 0.48) | A PATH command had been added. It appears that the server had some ! trouble with "!" addresses, so a path command became necessary. The | server is pretty good usally in figuring out return-paths, hoever if | you don't receive a response from the server try again with a PATH | command. Remember the PATH is from the SERVER to you. If you are | using "!" paths please add the .UUCP domain name, ie. a!b!c!d!user.uucp Enjoy! ============================================================== MRCserv - Mount Royal College Mail Server (BETA 0.50) ----------------------------------------- Commands: DIR - list a directory (equiv. to ls -l) LS - briefly list a directory DIR -d - list subdirectories only LS -d - briefly subdirectories only | DIR -s nn - list files added to archinve in the last 'nn' days | an optional parameter of 'directory specification | can be added (ie dir -s 07 *.* ) | LS -s nn - briefly list files added in last 'nn' days CD - change working directory GET - sends you one or more files HELP - sends you this help EXIT - finishes request | PATH - Path from MRCserv to you. (if your using "!" paths make | address ends with a .UUCP ie. foo!bar.uucp) PUT - Put a file in the archive. (must be validated first). | (currently not implemented) Extensions: ZOO - ZOO file ZUU - UUencoded ZOO file ARC - ARC file AUU - UUencoded ARC file LZH - LHARC file LUU - UUencoded LHARC file LHW - LhWarp file DIR - VMS directory file WRP - Warp file UUE - UUencoded executable | ABC - ABasiC file Wildcards and directory specifications are allowable with DIR and GET commands. These follow standard VMS wildcard rules. Subdirectories can be accessed via the CD command. For example, if you see a file with the extension .DIR (ie ARCHIVERS.DIR), CD to it by issuing the command CD [ARCHIVERS] (case insensitive, brackets are not required). To move to the parent directory issue the command CD [-] (Brackets are required) To move to the root directory issue command CD [000000] Binary files (ZOO/ARC/LZH/EXE) will be uuencoded before being sent. Files larger then 100 blocks will be sent in multiple parts. You will be informed of the number of parts in the server's response. All files will be sent as separate messages (except HELP). In the reply sent by MRCserv, your commands are preceeded by a less-than sign "<". MRCserv responses are preceeded by a greater-than sign ">".
