Subject: [*] mac.ftp.list Version 3.8.6
Archive name: mac-ftp-list386.txt
category: communication, text
This is the latest {June 1,1994} version this report and should replace the
previous version of mac-ftp-list.txt.
Changes: sumex info updated; imag.imag.fr is ftp.imag.fr
Added sites: cs.rice.edu; ftp.stolaf.edu; sol.bucknell.edu;
devtools.symantec.com; ftp.radius.com; ftp.austin.apple.com
This is a update {June 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 3.8.6
Here's Version 3.8.5 (June 1,1994)
Changes: sumex info updated; imag.imag.fr is ftp.imag.fr
Added sites: cs.rice.edu; ftp.stolaf.edu; sol.bucknell.edu;
devtools.symantec.com; ftp.radius.com; ftp.austin.apple.com
Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind
permision to continue it.
Due to numerous requests I will post revisions as needed to the USENET
newsgroups comp.sys.mac.comm, comp.sys.mac.misc, comp.sys.mac.apps, and
comp.sys.mac.games.
Archived on sumex-aim.stanford.edu, microlib.cc.utexas.edu and their mirrors via
e-mail to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu {see microlib.cc.utexas.edu note for
details}. Also archived on Compuserve {Internet Forum} and AOL.
The concept for this document is copyrighted 1991 by Mike Gleason with
permission to Bruce Grubb for alterations, but 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
Personal note: bgrubb@scf.nmsu.edu has stablized and I will soon change the
e-mail address back.
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 Mike
Gleason 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
Keep in mind that some sites may disenable the anonymous login for a while:
during certain hours of the day, for maintainance reasons, or due to too
much heavy traffic {ftp.apple.com does this every now and then, for example.}.
Most will tell you the reason for refusing anonymous login, but a few will say
nothing more than "User anonymous unknown". Keep this in mind when a site on
this list results in "User anonymous unknown".
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. 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.
There is also a new format called gzip out. Using either .z or .gz suffixes
this is a new unix-originated compression system from the GNU Foundation which
is aimed at replacing the popular unix compress format {.Z}. Please do _not_
confuse .z {gzip} and .Z {unix compress format}; they are totally different
(L.H.Wood <L.H.Wood@lut.ac.uk>).
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.
Here's a handy chart to keep track which programs unmangle which formats:
.sit* unix .gz/.z
Macintosh .cpt 1.5/dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z {gzip} .pit .arc .bin
StuffIt Lite** D X X D X X D D X
StuffIt Deluxe** D X X D X X D D X
Stuffit Expander D D D
SITcomm*** D X X D X X D D X
ArcMac X
BinHex 4.0 X
BinHex 5.0 X X
Compact Pro X D/? X
DDExpand D/? D D
Disk Doubler D/? X X
MacCompress X
MacGzip X
MacLHa X
PackIt X
UnZip D
ZipIt X
Other .sit* unix .gz/.z
computers .cpt 1.5/dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z {gzip} .pit .arc .bin
mcvert (unix) X X
PKZIP (DOS) X
unpack (unix) D X/? X
unsitins.exe D
D = Decode only
X = Encode and decode
* .sit now refers to both 1.5 and dlx. Otherwise a '/' is used {1.5/dlx}
** 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 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:

Archie machines." (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
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. 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
Replacing apple.com {apple.apple.com} (130.43.2.2) 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."

4. 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 ;-)

5. 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.

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 (141.211.32.2) /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 for us leeches :-)

else.
8. nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) /software/mac /mirror/info-mac
/mirror/umich-mac /mirror/Oberon/MacII
A pretty large European site. It is a server for academic and research
users primarily in Switzerland, but also for the ones in Europe and the
rest of the world.
There is also an interactive browsing mode available via the SWITCHinfo
telnet access to nic.switch.ch with login name 'info', no password
required. A HyperCard stack offers similar access facilities in a
Macintosh way, it can be found in /software/mac/SWITCHinfo.

9. 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. This site can quickly be overloaded and connection at
these times is impossible. Please use one of the many [sumex] mirrors
listed in this sheet to reduce the load.
ALL FILES: /info-mac/help/all-files.txt
RECENT FILES: /info-mac/help/recent-files.txt

10. 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 BINARY (IMAGE) mode to download.
ALL FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.verbose
RECENT FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.recent
TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).
11. archives.math.utk.edu (128.169.202.163) /mac

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

30. wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) /systems/mac
Important Note: "The entire archives were destroyed the afternoon of
Thursday, January 13, 1994 due to a bug in the system crash dump routines.
[...] Everything was lost, the archive maintainers are scrambling to find
copies of all of the missing files -- it's probable that some files were
lost permanently" (README.NOW file)
This is the de-facto king of shadow archives; it mirrors three mac
sites: sumex {/systems/mac/info-mac}, mac.archive.umich.edu
{/systems/mac/umich.edu}, and the now defunct Simtel site
{/systems/mac/machintosh}. Likely the Simtel mirror was restored from the
backup tapes. It appears that the rascal.ics.utexas.edu mirror was
destroyed in the crash. All of the cross pointer directories {such as
mirrors/info-mac and mirrors/archive.umich.edu/mac} got lost in the crash
so file directory paths may need to be adapted accordingly.
This site also shadows several non Mac archives.
