Changes: evolution.uh.edu and ruunfs.fys.ruu.nl removed; toklab.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp is officially gone; ftp.cso.uiuc.edu moved to 'These sites have a lot of files, but do not get much new' section; archie list updated; Added sites: atg.apple.com; ftp.std.com; crab.rutgers.edu; crystal.ualr.edu; ftp.globalvillag.com; ftp.stat.ucla.edu; micros.hensa.ac.uk; ftpbio.bgsu.edu; This is a update {Sept 1,1994} 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. Must be in Monaco 9 {or PC equivalent} to be readable. --------------------blurb ends, report commences--------------------------- From: BruceG6069@aol.com (Bruce Grubb) Subject: mac.ftp.list, Version 3.8.9 Here's Version 3.8.9 (Sept 1,1994) Changes: evolution.uh.edu and ruunfs.fys.ruu.nl removed; toklab.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp is officially gone; ftp.cso.uiuc.edu moved to 'These sites have a lot of files, but do not get much new' section; archie list updated; Added sites: atg.apple.com; ftp.std.com; crab.rutgers.edu; crystal.ualr.edu; ftp.globalvillag.com; ftp.stat.ucla.edu; micros.hensa.ac.uk; ftpbio.bgsu.edu; Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind permision to continue it.

Copyright 1994 by Bruce Grubb with document concept and portions of its text Copyright 1991 by Mike Gleason. May be freely distributed and archived. Please send newly discovered macintosh sites (with IP numbers and directories to check if possible), bug fixes, and comments to: Internet: BruceG6069@aol.com AOL: BruceG6069 {AOL can only handle <27K e-mail so keep messages short} 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 which 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. Stuffit files end in ".sit" while Compact Pro files end in ".cpt" but you will probably only want to use Stuffit as it can decompress both formats. When ftp prompts you for a username and password, send "anonymous" as the username, and your email address as the password, for Mike Gleason it would be mgleason@cse.unl.edu and for me it would be bgrubb@scf.nmsu.edu. Here's a sample ftp session: % ftp ftp> open wuarchive.wustl.edu Connected to wuarchive.wustl.edu. 220 wuarchive.wustl.edu FTP server (...) ready. Name (wuarchive.wustl.edu:bgrubb): anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password. Password (wuarchive.wustl.edu:anonymous): bgrubb@scf.nmsu.edu 230- If your FTP client crashes or hangs shortly after login please try 230- using a dash (-) as the first character of your password. This will 230- turn off the informational messages that may be confusing your FTP 230- client. 230- 230- You are user number 221 out of a possible 225. 230- 230- All transfers to and from wuarchive are logged. If you don't like 230- this then disconnect now! 230- ftp> cd systems/mac ftp> get ./info-mac/help/recent-files.txt SumexRecentFiles ftp> get ./umich.edu/mac/00help/newfiles.txt umichRecentFiles ftp> get ./info-mac/game/cumulonimbus.hqx cn.hqx ftp> quit % sz cn.hqx Keep in mind that some sites may disenable the anonymous login for a while: during certain hours of the day, for maintainance reasons, or because of too much heavy traffic. Most will tell you the reason for refusing anonymous login, but a few will say nothing more than "User anonymous unknown" or "connection refused". Keep this in mind when a site on this list results in either of these responses. 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. Mike Gleason usually downloaded to his unix box, and then used 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 {info-mac/cmp directory} 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. WARNING: make sure that the communication program is in BINARY mode or downloading of ".bin" and "unpacked" programs won't work. For example, Kermit's binary mode on some Unix machines is accessed by typing 'kermit -i' at the promt. BINARY mode is also called IMAGE mode. Here's a handy chart to keep track which programs unmangle which formats: unix .gz/.z .uu/ Macintosh .cpt .sit .hqx .bin .zip .dd .lzh .Z {gzip} .tar .arc .uue Stuffit Expander* D D D D w/ DSEE* D X X X D D D D D StuffIt Lite** D X X X {see note below} StuffIt Deluxe** D X X X D X X D X SITcomm*** D X X X D ? X X D X ArcMac X BinHex 4.0 X BinHex 5.0 X X Compact Pro X D/N X DDExpand 4.0 D D Disk Doubler D X MacCompress X MacGzip X X MacLHA X SunTar 2.0.1 X X X D Tar 4.0b X UnZip D UU Lite X UUTool X ZipIt X Other unix .gz/.z .uu/ computers .cpt .sit .hqx .bin .zip .dd .lzh .Z {gzip} .tar .arc .uue mcvert (unix) X X PKZIP (DOS) X unpack (unix) D X/? unsitins.exe D N = Cannot decode .sit dlx {Type SITD} files D = Decode only X = Encode and decode .sit refers to both 1.5 and dlx. Otherwise a '/' is used {1.5/dlx}. Special formats .pit - old commpression format {~1989} created by PackIt programs that has been replaced by .sit. In general, a program that handles .sit files can unmangle .pit files as well. .sea - decompresses itself and needs no external programs. .txt - ASCII text file. .tgz - another name for .tar.z {do not confuse with .tar.Z}. CAUTION: Do _not_ confuse .z {gzip} with .Z {format that gzip is aimed at replacing}. These are totally _different_ unix compression formats and in an effort to prevent further confusion gzip files are now supposed to use the .gz extension. * DropStuff with Expander Enhancer is an addon for Stuffit Expander. Current versions are 3.5.1 as of this writing. ** Stuffit Deluxe translators can be used with Stuffit Lite. Current versions are 3.0.7 as of this writing. *** SITcomm is communications program from Aladdin that uses the Stuffit translators. Special note: .hqx, .txt, and .uu 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. These sites have many mac files, and are still getting new ones: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- dipmat.unife.it 192.167.208.253 See Note 1 ezinfo.ethz.ch

(TidBITS#130; Gateways 1: Internet) Notes on some of the above sites: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. dipmat.unife.it (192.167.208.253) "/* Dipmat files/Software Macintosh" Reasonablly large site with a good selection of software. "It contains a small, but rather up-to-date collection of essential Macintosh software, a scientific bibliography (mainly mathematics, but also, for example, files about Mensa and gifted children), some local stuff." (ESG%IFEUNIV.bitnet@icineca.cineca.it). Its only problem is that spaces are used and so directory and file names MUST be in "...", otherwise command failed (Directory not found), or command failed (file not found) will result. 2. ezinfo.ethz.ch (129.132.2.72) ./mac 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. Guests 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 3. ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3) /dts This is Apple's official ftp site to supply the world with System software {up to 7.0.1 that is}, utilities, technical notes, sample source code, press release archives, and developer tools. Callers outside America are restricted to what they can download. "Failure to maintain a reasonable load on this machine could result in this archive being pulled from the Internet, or, at a minimum, a nasty disk crash that could keep this site down for an extended period of time." (READ.ME file) 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. 4. ftp.austin.apple.com (17.127.4.50) /Apple.Support.Area/Apple.SW.Updates This is one of Apples' "seeding" sites. Most of the software is in the /Apple.Support.Area/Apple.SW.Updates directory. As with ftp.apple.com callers outside America are restricted as to what they can download. 5. ftp.funet.fi (128.214.6.100) /pub/mac A very large European site that shadows Sumex-aim and gets its own original files sometimes. Non-Europeans shouldn't call often, to keep costs down. It also serves as an European archie host (archie.funet.fi). 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). 6. ftp.support.apple.com (130.43.6.3) "/pub/Apple SW Updates" AppleLink and E-World mirror. "Since this is a real mirror copy of the archive on AppleLink you may encounter some interesting directory and file names. To get around these intersting names simply use quotes ("") to encapsulate the path. You may also run into another problem with non- printable (>ascii 127) characters in filenames. Use mget Mac* to retrieve a file that starts with Mac and also contains non-printable and thus non-typeable characters." (brooks@ftp.support.apple.com (Kevin Brooks)) I assume that as is the case with ftp.apple.com callers outside America are restricted as to what they can download. 7. ftp.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) /software/mac /mirror/info-mac /mirror/umich-mac /mirror/Oberon/MacII Also known as nic.switch.ch. "Access to this FTP service is exclusively allowed for - Swiss universities, schools & organisations with a SWITCH service contract, - foreign education & research organisations. If you do not belong to one of these categories, you are NOT allowed to log in as 'anonymous' or 'ftp'. With one of the special user-ids, like 'public', a restricted access is open to everyone." (FTP login message). 8. 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. 9. mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.32.2) /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 to this site. mirror.archive.umich.edu is a special pointer that will connect you to one of the mac.archive.umich.edu mirrors randomly. ALL FILES: /mac/00help/index.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 or e-mail to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu {e-mail results in crossposting to other archives} TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY for everything else. 10. micros.hensa.ac.uk 148.88.8.84 /micros/mac Has an awkward way naming their directories with letters of the alphabet and numbers, so one has to get the index files in the directories first to see what they have. (Wojtek Rypniewski wojtek@embl-hamburg.de) 11. 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 which is handy for those who don't have USENET access. "We ask that you use our mirrors INSTEAD OF our server, because the load there now makes it difficult for us to manage the archive!" (Info-Mac Archive Mirror Sites) ALL FILES: /info-mac/help/all-files.txt RECENT FILES: /info-mac/help/recent-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 emailing to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu also works as does macgifts@sumex-aim.stanford.edu. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 12. archives.math.utk.edu (128.169.202.163) /mac A site for shareware and public domain software suitable for use in mathematics education at the college and university level. Both anonymous ftp and gopher access are supported (gopher using port 70). Gopher access also supports WAIS searching of abstracts as well as numerous gopher links to other sites of mathematical interest. 13. ftp.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.52 129.105.49.1) /pub The headquarters of John Norstad's excellent anti-virus program, Disinfectant {/pub/disinfectant}.

TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 14. ftp.imag.fr (129.88.32.1) /pub/Cabri, /archive/macintosh Not only is this the home of the CABRI (graph, geometry) software, but they are also nice enough to keep the most recent uploads to comp.binaries.mac, in MacBinary format (yay!). It is recommened that CABRI be retrieved from wuarchive.wustl.edu TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE). 15. ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.20.50) /Mac Also know as zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu. NCSA keeps Telnet, ContigAsm, Contour, DataScope, GelReader, HypercardAnimator, NCSA Image, Import2HDF, Layout, & PalEdit here. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 16. ftp.primate.wisc.edu (144.92.43.11) /pub/mac Contains some programs by Paul DuBois, and a few other utilities: BlobMgr, FaceLift, Grep, TransSkel, ZoomIdle, MakeWrite, SicnEdit, gnome, and psuedo-fpu.
