I recently tried to access the ftp site ab20.larc.nasa.gov and when it asked me for a username, I didn't know what to do. I tried 'anonymous' and 'newuser' as well as 'guest' apparently I need to register for an account. Is this correct? If so, how do I do it? Also, will somebody PLEASE post a list of amiga ftp sites? Thanks in adavance, -H

It has to be lower case and your host may be translating it to upper case. John >Is this correct? If so, how do I do it?

Most sites want to see "ftp" as the anonymous login for ftp, and your username
as the password; some, such as simtel-20, want "anonymous" as the login name
and your username as the password. The choice depends on what "ftpd" (or its
equivalent) is running on the specific system and I haven't found any way to
determine which in advance of an actual attempt. The password entry for an
anonymous ftp login is simply copied to a logfile and does not imply any
required pre-registration.WEBB3840@splava.cc.plattsburgh.edu (Stephen J. Webb) (02/11/91)

If you ftp there, you will notice that it now identifies itself as the ab20 ftp site, instead of the abcfd20 ftp site. -- -- Frank McPherson INTERNET: emcphers@fox.cs.vt.edu --
