From: bruce grubb <72130.3557@CompuServe.COM>
Subject: [*] mac.ftp.list Version 3.5
Archive name: mac-ftp-list35.txt
category: text
This is the latest version this report and should replace the previous version
of mac-ftp-list.txt.
This is a update to Mike Gleason's ftp list {He gave me permision to continue
it}. It lists a good number of mac anonymous ftp sites with notes on some and
a little blurb on how to use anonymous ftp.
--------------------blurb ends, report commences---------------------------
From: bgrubb@dante.nmsu.edu (Bruce Grubb)
Subject: mac.ftp.list, Version 3.5
Here's Version 3.5 (May 19,1993)
Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind
permision to continue it.
I will post revisions as needed to the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.mac.misc,
and the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. The consept for this
document is copyrighted 1991 by Mike Gleason with permision to Bruce Grubb for
alterations, but may be freely distributed and archived.
Please send newly discovered sites (with IP numbers and directories to
check if possible), bug fixes, and comments to:
bgrubb@dante.nmsu.edu
For folks new to ftp
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first column of stuff in the data below is the site name. Usually
you can just run ftp and type open and then the site name. But some
computers don't like the names (or don't have all of them) and prefer the
next column of stuff, the IP addresses. If you try the open command with the
IP number and it doesn't bite, it isn't gonna work. Most mac ftp sites have
encoded their files with BinHex 4.0. These files will end in the suffix
".hqx". To decode these files, you can just download them to your mac, and
use Compact Pro or Stuffit to decode them. THEN, you will need to decompress
them. Files ending in ".cpt" are Compact Pro files, ".sit" files are
Stuffit's. You will probably need both Compact Pro and Stuffit since both
types are common. When ftp prompts you for a username and password, send
"anonymous" as the username, and your email address as the password, for me
it would be mgleason@cse.unl.edu. Here's a sample ftp session:
% ftp
ftp> open sumex-aim.stanford.edu
Connected to sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
220 sumex-aim FTP server (SunOS 4.0/3) ready.
Name (sumex-aim.stanford.edu:mgleason): anonymous
Password (sumex-aim.stanford.edu:anonymous): mgleason@cse.unl.edu
331 Guest login ok, send mail address (user@host) as password.
230 Guest connection 17 (of 25) accepted, access restrictions apply.
ftp> cd info-mac
ftp> get ./help/recent-files.txt recentFiles
ftp> get ./game/cumulonimbus.hqx cn.hqx
ftp> quit
% sz cn.hqx
Power User Notes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to read a file on a remote site, but don't want download it,
quit ftp, page the file, then restart ftp, try "get myfile.txt -" and ftp
will dump the file to your terminal. Also exploit ftp's pipe and shell
abilities, like "get myfile.txt |more" will do the same as above, except
using "more" to page the file.
If you need to know the IP address of an ftp site, a common unix program
called "nslookup" can help. With some versions, "nslookup ftp.apple.com"
would spit out "130.43.2.3." The reverse is also true, "nslookup 130.43.2.3"
would print out "ftp.apple.com." Normally nslookup on an IP address just
verifies the address as valid and to do a reverse lookup you must reverse the
address and use the in-addr.arpa domain with the lookup type set to "ANY."
Most files you'll get off ftp are in that pain in the butt format, binhex.
I usually download to our unix box, and then use an immensely useful utility
called "mcvert" to de-binhex them there. Not only is this faster, but it
doesn't tie up your own CPU :-) Stop over to sumex and grab it. After
mcvert'ing files, they'll turn into files with ".bin" suffix on them, meaning
they are in MacBinary format, and ready to download. You can also decompress
most archives, using Dik Winter's "unpack" program, if you don't mind both
more files and bigger files to download.
WARNING: make sure that the communication program is in BINARY mode or
downloading of ".bin" and "unpacked" program's won't work. For example,
Kermit's binary mode on some Unix machines is accessed by typing 'kermit -i'
at the promt.
Here's a handy chart to keep track which programs unmangle which formats:
.sit .sit unix
Macintosh .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin
StuffIt Lite* X X X X X X X X X X X
StuffIt Deluxe* X X X X X X X X X X X
ArcMac X
BinHex 4.0 X
BinHex 5.0 X X
Compact Pro X X X
DDExpand X X X
Disk Doubler X X X
MacCompress X
MacLHarc X
PackIt X
UnZip X
Other .sit .sit unix
computers .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin
mcvert (unix) X X
PKZIP (DOS) X
unpack (unix) X X X X
unsitins.exe X X
* Stuffit Deluxe translators can be used with Stuffit Lite. Current versions
are 3.0.5 as of this writing.
Special note: .hqx files are the ONLY files that can be downloaded in ASCII
mode; all others must be downloaded in BINARY mode for the file to decompress
properly. Otherwise you will get errors like "unreadable file" or "file is
corrupt" when you try to decompress them.

Notes on some of the above sites:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ezinfo.ethz.ch (129.132.2.72) ./mac
A large European site. While ezinfo is primarily a BBS for Users in
Switzerland and Europe, this host also provides anonymous FTP and DECNET
access to its archives. Preferrably use night hours as the BBS is heavily
used by local users during daytime hours. Guest can only see 50% of the
menus on the BBS.
The Macintosh files are taken from comp.binaries.mac, with local
uploads now and then. Recent files are stored in ./mac/news/ for one
month before being redistributed in their respective directories.
HOW TO UPLOAD: mail .hqx files to danny@ezinfo.ethz.ch
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
RECENT FILES: see above.
HELP: eis_manager@ezinfo.ethz.ch
2. ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3) /dts
Apple's official ftp site to supply the world with System software {up to
7.0.0 that is}, utilities, technical notes, sample source code, press
release archives, and developer tools. Callers outside America are
restricted to what they can download :-(
ALL FILES: /dts/help/dir-files-all
RECENT FILES: /dts/help/dir-files-recent
HELP: /help, or mail mjohnson@apple.com.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
3. ftp.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.59) /mac/MUG
Old name ux1.cso.uiuc.edu. A local user group has been kind enough to
store copies of it's disk collection here. There is a massive amount of
material to download. New disks have started appearing again, too. Too
bad the index files aren't updated regularly, it's a shame to download
entire disks, and not knowing what's on them. It also wastes internet
bandwidth ;-)
ALL FILES: /mac/MUG/0Biglist.MUG
HELP: /mac/MUG/0README.MUG
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
4. ftp.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) /pub/mac
A very large European site. In addition to shadowing Sumex-aim, they get
their own original files sometimes. Non-Europeans shouldn't call often,
to keep costs down. They also serve as an archie host (archie.funet.fi)
for Europe.
ALL FILES: /pub/mac/_file.lst
RECENT FILES: /pub/mac/ChangeLog
HELP: /pub/mac/HELP
HOW TO UPLOAD: Use ftp to put files into /pub/mac/incoming.
TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).
5. ftp.lu.se (130.235.132.89)
Old name was pollux.lu.se. Sizable collection of Mac stuff. Mostly .hqx
files with a few .gif and .bin.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything
else.
6. irisa.irisa.fr (131.254.2.3) /News/comp.binaries.mac
They keep archives of the postings to the comp.binaries.mac newsgroup.
The files all stored in one huge directory, so instead of doing an 'ls',
get the index file to look at offline.
ALL FILES: /News/comp.binaries.mac/index
HOW TO UPLOAD: Post to the comp.binaries.mac USENET group.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
7. mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.165.34) /mac
This big site has a large number of files, many of them unique. There are
many outline fonts, mostly Adobe type 1's, and a few type 3's and
TrueType. About the only gripe I have is the tremendous number of
subdirectories, e.g. /mac/system.extensions/font/adobe.type.three... but
that's a small price to pay for the work they've put in for us leeches :-)
ALL FILES: /mac/00help/allfiles.txt
RECENT FILES: /mac/00help/newfiles.txt
IN QUEUE: Look in the /mac/incoming directory.
HELP: /mac/00help
HOW TO UPLOAD: ftp-put files in the /mac/incoming directory
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything
else.
8. sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6) /info-mac
The king of macintosh ftp sites. If you want your uploads to get a wide
distribution, this is the place to send them to. They also have their own
message "list", the info-mac digests. This is handy for those who don't
have USENET access. Sumex has announced a restructuring over the next 10
to 15 weeks to make placing of files more logicly.
directories.
ALL FILES: /info-mac/help/all-files.txt

HELP: Look in the /info-mac/help directory, read 'em all.
HOW TO UPLOAD: email posts or files to info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
9. toklab.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp (133.1.12.100) /mac/info-mac/info-mac
A good sized Mac site in Japan. 'ls' does not list files so use 'dir'
instead. Files are orginized by date so reading the 00dir.recent and
00dir.verbose lists is imperative. All files are unix compressed .hqx
(.hqx.Z) and therefore require BIANRY (IMAGE) mode todownload.
ALL FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.verbose
RECENT FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.recent
TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).
10. ftp.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.52) /pub/disinfectant
The headquarters of John Norstad's excellent anti-virus program,
Disinfectant, the sample code, and some other stuff, like macph.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
11. ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.20.50) /Mac
Old #ip was 128.174.20.50. NCSA keeps Telnet, ContigAsm, Contour,
DataScope, GelReader, HypercardAnimator, Image, Import2HDF, Layout, &
PalEdit here.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
12. ftp.primate.wisc.edu (128.104.230.11) /pub/mac

FaceLift, Grep, ZoomIdle, MakeWrite, SicnEdit, gnome, and psuedo-fpu.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
13. ftp.uu.net (192.48.96.9) /languages/abc
You can find a mac version of the ABC programming language here, and also
a macintosh version of STDWIN as /amiga-sources/stdwin/mac.tar.Z. UUNet
also archives huge amounts of other material, like USENET news, GNU stuff,
bsd sources, internet specs, popular unix packages, and bug fixes.
ALL FILES: /index/master.Z, /index/master-time.Z
RECENT FILES: /index/changes.week.Z, /index/changes.day.1.Z

17. mondo.engin.umich.edu (141.212.68.14) /pub

binhex and MacBinary format files, too. You can also find GooPanel and
whatever GooUtils they've cooked up here.
HELP: mail billkatt or sfalken @mondo.engin.umich.edu.
TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).

21. ftp.lth.se (130.235.20.3) /mac
The old name and #ip was 'lth.se (130.235.16.3)' This is a European
sumex shadow that has superseded sics.se. Due to people using the site
as gif trading post the ftp upload has been eliminted.

23. isca.icaen.uiowa.edu (128.255.19.175) //isca01/bbs/files/infomac
The University of Iowa provides some room for the Iowa Student Computing
Association, and not only have they given them an ftp site, but also an
Internet BBS (see Mars.ee.mssate.edu, above). While it is easy to get on
the BBS (login as 'iscabbs'), they don't let non-UI students use the
Internet Relay Chat.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
24. pomme.src.umd.edu (128.8.111.252) /info-mac
Also named src-aux.src.umd.edu. On a Mac running A/UX 3.0 this is the
Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland's sumex
shadow for UMCP and the east coast and it also adds a few files.
25. src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.3.7) /mac
A London based Info-mac shadow.
HELP: mail ukuug-soft@doc.ic.ac.uk to contact the maintainers.
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
26. wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) /systems/mac
This is the de-facto king of shadow archives; it mirrors three mac
sites: sumex {/systems/mac/info-mac}, rascal.ics.utexas.edu
{/systems/mac/rascal}, and mac.archive.umich.edu {/systems/mac/umich.edu}.
It also keeps files long deleted from the archives it shadows
{/systems/mac/info-mac/Old.} Also shadows a few non Mac archives. The
Simtel mirror was "removed due to lack of space. Most of this material
had not been updated for several years. For older Macintosh software,
please check /mirrors/info-mac/Old." (README file in mirrors/macintosh
directory). The directories all cross into one another {/systems/mac/info-
mac/Old is the same as /mirrors/info-mac/Old for example.} so it is very
easy to find the shadow archives. {The /mirrors/ route is good for people
who want to get to a directory fast.}
TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything
else.
27. apple.com (130.43.2.2) /pub
Also named apple.apple.com. Don't bother connecting here as the site has
been set up to respond with "Anonymous FTP service can be found at
ftp.apple.com" when one tries to do an anonymous ftp logon.
28. rascal.ics.utexas.edu (128.83.138.20) /mac
Don't bother connecting here; this medium-sized site was gutted and
now has very few files. It still gets a few new files but most of those
are text files. wuarchive.wustl.edu holds the files that used to be here
and duplicates the few new files rascal gets.
29. ftp.bio.indiana.edu (129.79.224.50) /
All sorts of scientific applications, in /biology/mac, /chemistry/mac,
/science/mac, and /molbio/mac.
HELP: /archive.doc

TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
31. wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) PD9:<macintosh>
Simtel has many files, but they are all extremely old. It's also a pain
in the butt to use, since it's not a unix machine. If you do decide to
download a file, make sure you set the mode to TENEX, and not ascii or
binary! Given the age of the files here, system conflicts with present
systems are becoming a problem.
HELP: try "get SIMTEL20-MACINTOSH.INFO |more" at an ftp prompt.
TRANSFER MODE: Use TENEX.
32. fsa.cpsc.ucalgary.ca (136.159.2.1) /pub/text.compression.corpus
