o=o=o FTP SITES o=o=o¢ by Alan Sharkis, Editor¢ OHAUG Newsletter¢¢ An FTP site is a place that simply¢ stores files for access. Many FTP¢ sites require a password. The ones¢ below allow "anonymous access." Your¢ Internet Service Provider may supply¢ you with a shortcut for entering a¢ password under the anonymous¢ protocol. Check with them. ¢ Otherwise, your password on an¢ anonymous call is your address. ¢ Since FTP involves Unix commands, you¢ have to learn about them and their¢ syntax. You also have to know if the¢ file you are going to download is¢ binary or text, because the protocols¢ for sending them are different.¢¢ However, to simplify all of this, all¢ of the sites listed below are¢ accessible through the World Wide¢ Web. You simply add "ftp://" to the¢ beginning of the address listed¢ below. For example, if you are in¢ LYNX on Genie, and you wish to get a¢ file from the cyberspy site, you'd¢ enter "u" to allow you to enter a¢ URL. At the prompt, them, you'd¢ enter:¢¢ ftp://ftp3.cyberspy.co/pub/atari8¢¢ Here are the sites that I've checked¢ out recently. The name of the site¢ is in CAPITALS, and the address is¢ directly below it in lower case. If¢ they don't work, please let me know. ¢ If you discover others, let me know¢ that, as well.¢¢ JUSTIN¢ ftp.valleynet.com/pub/users/j/justin/¢ atari8/¢¢ ANALOG MAGAZINE¢ ftp.clark.net/pub/atari/mag/analog¢¢ ANTIC MAGAZINE¢ ftp.clark.net/pub/atari/mag/antic¢¢ CYBERSPY¢ ftp3.cyberspy.com/pub/atari8¢¢ MEAD¢ ftp.servtech.com/pub/users/mead/atari¢¢ o=o=o=o=o¢
