- ANNOUNCING ARCHIE.AU - The AARNet Archie Server
-
- Archie.au is The AARNet Archie Working Group's archie server. It runs
- "archie", a tool to help users locate information located on anonymous
- FTP sites around the world. To get started with archie, telnet to
- archie.au and login with userid archie.
-
- Archie.AU also maintains copies (shadows) of many of the most popular
- anonymous ftp sites from around the world, making it unnecessary for
- users within Australia to access the remotely located system, improving
- response time and reducing overall network traffic.
-
- This system, which has been funded by AARNet, will not only run the
- archie database, but will also support:
-
- + Prospero (a remote file system)
- + Ftp[-]Mail Gateway
- + Sydney Uni's Finger Daemon
- + MHSnet access (as archie.oz)
- + WAIS
-
- and is shadowing the following archives:
-
- + Simtel-20 PC archives From oak.oakland.edu
- + Garbo's PC archives From garbo.uwasa.fi
- + MIT's X11 Distribution From export.lcs.mit.edu
- + Terminator's Mac Archive
- + RFC's From venera.isi.edu
- + The latest GNU software From prep.ai.mit.edu
- + Kermit Distribution From watsun.cc.columbia.edu
- + Graphics including GIFs From wuarchive.wustl.edu
- + Amiga From ab20.larc.nasa.gov
- + The latest WAIS sources From think.com
- + comp.sources.unix From gatekeeper.dec.com
- + comp.sources.games From ftp.uu.net
- + comp.sources.reviewed From ftp.uu.net
- + comp.sources.x From ftp.uu.net
- + comp.sources.misc From ftp.uu.net
-
- Archie.AU is a dedicated machine with more than 5 Gbytes of disk space
- located on the AARNet backbone in Melbourne. Response from archie will
- be better than from any site located outside Australia and better than
- many within Australia. Users can retrive files using FTP, MHSnet or the
- FTP[-]Gateway. Those using MHSnet to access this machine should use a
- certain amount of sense when requesting lots of files. Don't flood your
- downstream sites.
-
- If you think it would be beneficial to the Australian Academic and
- Research Community to have something else shadowed, or you have comments
- related to the archie server, send mail to
-
- archive-wg@itd.adelaide.edu.au
