Date: 01 Feb 94 20:13:44 EST From: bruce grubb <72130.3557@CompuServe.COM> Subject: [*] mac.ftp.list Version 3.8.2 Archive name: mac-ftp-list382.txt category: communication, text This is the latest {Feb 1,1994} version this report and should replace the previous version of mac-ftp-list.txt. Changes: rusmv1.uni-stuttgart.de is now ftp.uni-stuttgart.de; wuarchive.wustl.edu information is changed. pomme.src.umd.edu moved to the 'These sites have a lot of files, but do not get much new' list. gzip {.z/.gz} format added to table. Added sites: ftp.cc.umanitoba.ca; ftp.cnr.it; ftp.gte.com; hensel.mathp6.jussieu.fr 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@scf.nmsu.edu (Bruce Grubb) Subject: mac.ftp.list, Version 3.8.2 Here's Version 3.8.2 (Feb 1,1994) Changes: rusmv1.uni-stuttgart.de is now ftp.uni-stuttgart.de; wuarchive.wustl.edu information is changed. pomme.src.umd.edu moved to the 'These sites have a lot of files, but do not get much new' list. gzip {.z/.gz} format added to table. Added sites: ftp.cc.umanitoba.ca; ftp.cnr.it; ftp.gte.com; hensel.mathp6.jussieu.fr 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.advocacy comp.sys.mac.misc, comp.sys.mac.apps, and comp.sys.mac.games as well as the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. 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 sites (with IP numbers and directories to check if possible), bug fixes, and comments to: bgrubb@scf.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 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.

(TidBITS#130; Gateways 1: Internet) 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. 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 2. 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." (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. 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. 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.

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/index.txt RECENT FILES: /mac/00help/newfiles.txt IN QUEUE: Look in the /mac/incoming directory.

[...] 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. {Due to the system crash this site will be slightly chaotic for a while.} TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything else. 29. ftp.lu.se (130.235.132.89) Old name was pollux.lu.se.
