- Subject: [*] mac.ftp.list Version 3.5
-
- Archive name: mac-ftp-list35.txt
- category: text
-
- This is the latest version this report and should replace the previous version
- of mac-ftp-list.txt.
-
- 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@dante.nmsu.edu (Bruce Grubb)
- Subject: mac.ftp.list, Version 3.5
-
- Here's Version 3.5 (May 19,1993)
-
- Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind
- permision to continue it.
-
- I will post revisions as needed to the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.mac.misc,
- and the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. The consept for this
- document is copyrighted 1991 by Mike Gleason with permision 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@dante.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 me
- 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
-
-
- 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.
- I usually download to our unix box, and then use 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 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.
-
- WARNING: make sure that the communication program is in BINARY mode or
- downloading of ".bin" and "unpacked" program's 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 .sit unix
- Macintosh .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin
- StuffIt Lite* X X X X X X X X X X X
- StuffIt Deluxe* X X X X X X X X X X X
- ArcMac X
- BinHex 4.0 X
- BinHex 5.0 X X
- Compact Pro X X X
- DDExpand X X X
- Disk Doubler X X X
- MacCompress X
- MacLHarc X
- PackIt X
- UnZip X
-
- Other .sit .sit unix
- computers .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin
- mcvert (unix) X X
- PKZIP (DOS) X
- unpack (unix) X X X X
- unsitins.exe X X
-
- * Stuffit Deluxe translators can be used with Stuffit Lite. Current versions
- are 3.0.5 as of this writing.
-
- 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.

- 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. Guest 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
- Apple's official ftp site to supply the world with System software {up to
- 7.0.0 that is}, utilities, technical notes, sample source code, press
- release archives, and developer tools. Callers outside America are
- restricted to what they can download :-(
- 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. ftp.lu.se (130.235.132.89)
- Old name was pollux.lu.se. Sizable collection of Mac stuff. Mostly .hqx
- files with a few .gif and .bin.
- TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything
- else.
-
- 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 (141.211.165.34) /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 :-)
-
- ALL FILES: /mac/00help/allfiles.txt
- RECENT FILES: /mac/00help/newfiles.txt
- IN QUEUE: Look in the /mac/incoming directory.
- HELP: /mac/00help

-
- 8. 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. Sumex has announced a restructuring over the next 10
- to 15 weeks to make placing of files more logicly.
- directories.
- 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
- TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
-
- 9. 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 BIANRY (IMAGE) mode todownload.
- ALL FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.verbose
- RECENT FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.recent
- TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).
-
- 10. ftp.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.52) /pub/disinfectant
- The headquarters of John Norstad's excellent anti-virus program,
- Disinfectant, the sample code, and some other stuff, like macph.
- TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.
-
- 11. ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.20.50) /Mac
- Old #ip was 128.174.20.50. NCSA keeps Telnet, ContigAsm, Contour,
- DataScope, GelReader, HypercardAnimator, Image, Import2HDF, Layout, &
- PalEdit here.
- TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII.

-
- It also keeps files long deleted from the archives it shadows
- {/systems/mac/info-mac/Old.} Also shadows a few non Mac archives. The
- Simtel mirror was "removed due to lack of space. Most of this material
- had not been updated for several years. For older Macintosh software,
- please check /mirrors/info-mac/Old." (README file in mirrors/macintosh
- directory). The directories all cross into one another {/systems/mac/info-
- mac/Old is the same as /mirrors/info-mac/Old for example.} so it is very
- easy to find the shadow archives. {The /mirrors/ route is good for people
-

- 31. wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) PD9:<macintosh>

- in the butt to use, since it's not a unix machine. If you do decide to
- download a file, make sure you set the mode to TENEX, and not ascii or
- binary! Given the age of the files here, system conflicts with present
- systems are becoming a problem.
- HELP: try "get SIMTEL20-MACINTOSH.INFO |more" at an ftp prompt.
