Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Anonymous FTP File Server
Updated 5/12/200r53
INTRODUCTION
The files under this directory are provided as a service of Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, managed by UT-Battelle LLC.
ORGANIZATION
The anonymous FTP server is organized as follows:
README - this file
pub - public files for anonymous users to download
with "get"
incoming - directory for anonymous users to upload data
into with the "put" command. DO NOT create
directories in this area, as they will be
deleted shortly after you create them.
outgoing - directory for anonymous users to download
with "get". "dir" and "ls" do not work in this
directory and you must know file names.
bin, etc, usr - files used to implement the server. These
are not interesting or useful to most
workstation users
USAGE
Use the "cd" and "ls" commands to move around the FTP area. Copy
files to your system with the "get" command. Use the "binary" command
before transferring binary files such as executables and compressed
files. Compressed files have names ending with ".Z" or ".gz". Use the
uncompress or zcat command on your system to return ".Z" compressed
files (or gunzip or gzcat for ".gz" files, see /unix/gzip) to their
original format.
Filenames ending in ".tar" are tar archives. See the tar man page
on your system for more details on unpacking them.
Filenames ending in ".ps" are in PostScript format. They can be
printed on a PostScript compatible printer or viewed on screen using a
previewer such as DEC's dxpsview or Sun OpenWindows' pageview.
Before retrieving large files, make sure you've got sufficient
disk space on your system to get the files and unpack them. The "ls
-l" FTP command shows the size of files in bytes. The "du" command on
most workstations will show available disk space in 512 byte blocks.
If you're coming from a workstation, don't forget that you can
execute UNIX commands on your system while you're in FTP by prefixing
them with an exclamation mark. For example, to create a directory on
your system type "!mkdir dir-name".
Hint: to read text files without copying them to your system, copy
them to "-". For example, "get README -" will copy the remote file
README to your screen. You can also substitute "/dev/tty" for "-",
e.g., "get README /dev/tty" on UNIX systems.
