From: w8sdz@Simtel.Net (Keith Petersen)
Subject: How to get Simtel.Net files by e-mail (revised 960708)
ftpmail@Simtel.Net (also known as ftpmail@wcarchive.cdrom.com) - ftp's
files and sends them back via electronic mail.
If you have problems please email to ftp-bugs@wcarchive.cdrom.com
>>Valid commands to the ftpmail gateway are:
reply-to email-address Who to send the response to. This is
optional and defaults to the users email address
>>Followed by one of:
help Just send back help
delete jobid Delete the given job
open [site [user [pass]]] Site to ftp to. Defaults are
wcarchive.cdrom.com anonymous reply-to-address.
>>If there was an open then it can be followed by up to 100 of the
>>following commands
cd pathname Change directory.
ls [pathname] short listing of pathname. Default pathname
is current directory.
dir [pathname] long listing of pathname. Default pathname
is current directory.
get pathname Get a file and email it back.
compress Compress files/dir-listings before emailing back
gzip Gzip files/dir-listings before emailing back
uuencode
btoa
These are mutually exclusive options for
converting a binary file before emailing.
(Default is uuencode.)
force uuencode
force btoa
Force all files or directory listings to
be encoded before sending back.
There is no default.
no [compress|gzip|uuencode|btoa|mime]
Turn the option off.
size num[K|M]
Set the max size a file can be before it
is split up and emailed back in parts to
the given number of Kilo or Mega bytes.
This is limited to 10240000.
mode binary
mode ascii
Change the mode selected for the get
command. Defaults to binary.
quit End of input - ignore any following lines.
Example scripts are:
open
dir
quit
Connect to wcarchive.cdrom.com and send back the contents of the
top level directory
reply-to lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk
open
cd simtelnet/msdos
get SIMDOS-L.ZIP
quit
Connect to wcarchive.cdrom.com and send back the file SIMDOS-L.ZIP
to lmjm@doc.ic.ac.uk
open src.doc.ic.ac.uk
cd graphics/X11/X.V11R5
get ls-lR.Z
cd ../contrib
compress
ls -ltra
quit
Connect to src.doc.ic.ac.uk, send back the file ls-lR.Z in
graphics/X11/X.V11R5. As this is a binary file it has to be
transfered in binary mode. Because it is binary it will automatically
be uuencoded (the default binary encoder). Then change to ../contrib
and mail back a compressed directory listing. Although compressing ls
output makes it binary, which then has to be encoded, it still ends up
smaller than the original.
open
cd graphics/X11/X.V11R5/fixes
get fix-08
get fix-09
get sunGX.uu
quit
Retrieve some recent X fixes
open
cd gnu
atob
mode binary
get emacs-18.57.tar.Z
quit
