The moderator of the firearms-politics mailing list, Karl Kleinpaste, has agreed to set up an anonymous ftp archive directory for RKBA related information. This directory can be used for things like articles by Kates, Wright, Tonso, Levinson, Supreme Court Decisions, the RIA vs US decision, copies of legislation, and so on. It's not meant to be for the discussions that normally appear here. So, in the future if you're looking for something check there first and then ask here. Instructions: Short version for techies: The site is godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu. Place contributions into the directory /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba. The ftp commands get, put, mget, or mput should work. Give the command "type binary" to be sure files are transferred correctly. Your files will be moved to the rkba directory. To get a file use the commands get or mget. I will maintain an index which you should get first to check if the file you want to read or write already is archived. Long version for non-techies: In order for you to use this archive your computer must be on the Internet. To connect to the archive site run the command: ftp godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu If that doesn't work try: ftp 128.2.250.253. If that doesn't work you cannot use this archive. If the ftp command is successful you'll get this prompt asking you for a login: Name (godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu:lvc): Instead of lvc your initials will appear. Answer this prompt with: ftp Next you'll get this prompt asking your for your e-mail address: Guest login ok, send e-mail address as password: I would enter: l.v.cipriani@att.com You'll enter your own e-mail address. You'll get these lines or similar as output: Remote system is UNIX. Using binary mode to transfer files. Next, the command prompt is printed: ftp> If you do not get the line "Using binary mode to transfer files." Run the command: type binary Now you're logged in to the archive machine. There are many directories on this machine but the two you are concerned with are /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba and /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/incoming There are subdirectories to the rkba directory, those are discussed below. When you login to the system your directory is /usr0/anon. To retreive files first change your current directory to the rkba directory with the command: cd /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba or cd pub/firearms/politics/rkba (continued next file)
