Subject: [CANSLIM] Sending large files to the canslim group
Everyone,
>From time to time, you may wish to share large files with our group (i.e. gif, jpeg, spreadsheets, etc). Our list is configured to reject large postings (even if they are properly encoded) since the sheer volume has caused problems in the past. As an alternative, we have provided an anonymous ftp site. To provide your file to the group, please follow these instructions:
1. Send your file to: "ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/incoming/". See ftp instructions below.
2. Send mail to me directly at "jeff.salisbury@sdl.usu.edu" telling me the name of the file that you uploaded. I will move the file from the incoming directory, to the canslim directory where people will be able to download your file.
3. After I notify you that the file has been moved to the canslim directory, you should send an email to the canslim group describing your file, and its URL (i.e. ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/canslim/GreatBoom.gif).
Although this may seem unwieldy at first, it really isn't too bad and it solves more problems than it creates.
You should note that I do not monitor my email on the weekends as closely as during the week. Therefore, steps 2-3 may take longer over a weekend.
1. Using Netscape, go to the URL: "ftp://chaos.csd.sdl.usu.edu/pub/incoming/".
2. On the Netscape "File" menu, select "Upload File..." This will open a file selection widget on your hard-drive. Select the file you wish to upload and hit the "Ok" button. At this point, your file will be uploaded.
3. Eventhough your file has been uploaded, you will not be able to see the file in your netscape browser. The reason for this is that the "incoming" directory is set to write-only for security reasons.
Subject: [CANSLIM] Accessing the discussion canslim archives...
>From time to time, CANSLIM members may wish to browse the discussion archives. This posting provides instructions on how to access the archives. Thanks to David Cameron for compiling the essentials of this message.
Here are the two ways to access the archives:
1. (BEST way) via your web browser at:
ftp://ftp.xmission.com/pub/lists/canslim/
Click on either "archive" or "latest" and browse away.
2. (Not as convenient) via email:
Send an email to majordomo@xmission.com
with the following as the body of your message:
"index canslim".
Then send a follow up email to request an old
email from either the "archive" or "latest"
directory. Note that your request must be in
the body of your email.
For example:
"get canslim latest/001"
will retrieve file "001" from the "latest"
directory.
"get canslim archive/v01.n066"
will retrieve file "v01.n066" from the
"archive" dir.
Best Regards,
Jeff Salisbury - CANSLIM list owner/admin
