Where I Get This Wonderful Thing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most of this file edited from FSP FAQ
The `official' place for FSP distributions is ftp.germany.eu.net
(192.76.144.75), in the directory /pub/network/inet/fsp. It is
available both by FTP and FSP: the FSP server is on port 2001.
Another official site is taxus.uib.no (129.177.30.10), which
only runs an FSP server -- it's on port 9000. The directory
on taxus is /fspdist.
(Note: If you're using Unix, and you don't want to set up a
server, you will probably want to get one of the FTP-like clients
instead -- fspclient, fspcli, or fspsh -- from the same place).
The latest versions are:
Unix, VMS: fsp.271.tar.gz
OS/2: fsp2-03b.zip
MS-DOS: pcfsp104.zip
For the small time user:
The interface I use is Phil Richards' (pgr@sst.icl.co.uk)
fspclient. The latest version (still pre-alpha, but more
reliable than your average beta release) is fspclient.0.0-h.
You can get it by FTP from ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk as
/pub/ox.src/fspclient.0.0-h+.tar.Z .
Another interface to use is Nicolai Langfeldt's 'fspcli'. It
has a ftp like interface and more. It is in the release
directory on ftp.germany, and it has also been posted on
alt.sources. Another nice thing about it is that it's a
small(ish) perl script rather than a large compiled executable,
and it's not alpha OR beta. Presently the latest version is 1.2
Ove Ruben R Olsen (Ruben@uib.no) has written a client quite
similar to Nicolai's, but even smaller. It is available in
the fspsh directory on taxus.uib.no/9000 (see below).
Note that if you want to use either of the last two clients,
you'll have to have the Perl language installed. You can get
the latest version by FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu in
/pub/gnu/perl*, or by FSP from wuarchive (see below) in
/mirrors/gnu/perl*.
