[comp.sys.amiga.advocacy] FTP sites

chet@netcom.netcom.COM (Eric Chet) (05/06/91)

Hello

     Does anybody have a up to date list of FTP sites for the amiga???
If you do could you please email it to me. 

PYC136@uriacc.uri.edu (Andy Patrizio) (05/06/91)

For all those asking for FTP sites, here's a way to get a list that is
constantly updated.

Telnet to site quiche.cs.mcgill.ca.  At the login prompt, type 'archie.' No
quotes. This Sun box is pretty fast. At the archie% prompt, type 'set term
vt100,' or whatever term you're using.

Then type 'prog xxx' where xxx is Amiga, IBM, Mac, Unix, Xenix, AI, you
name it. It will compile a list of all FTP sites with the program you
specify. After it compiles the list and spills it to your screen (that
could take a while. If anyone figures out how to shut it off, let me know.)
, you'll get the prompt back. Mail it to yourself (user@nodename). Use the
@ sign, not at.

Have fun.

.signed,
