- Archive access without anonymous ftp last changed 11 July 1992
-
- To get files from the anti-viral archives, you do not need access
- to anonymous ftp. (However, anonymous ftp is generally the preferred
- method.) Below is information on accessing the archive sites using
- only email.
-
- -=-
-
- The AppleII, Atari ST and IBMPC archives have mail servers which
- provide access to their archives. You may receive automatic updates
- of Macintosh anti-viral programs via email. See the individual articles
- on these sites.
-
- -=-
-
- One way to get access to the archives is through the BITFTP server
- at Princeton. Send a message to the BITNET address is BITFTP@PUCC
- with the body of the message containing the single word HELP. This
- should get you more information, and give you access to any archive
- site on the Internet. Due to excessive loads, this service has been
- restricted to BITNET and EARN sites only. UUCP sites need not apply.
-
- -=-
-
- In response to Princeton closing its service to non-BITNET sites,
- Digital has made an FTPmail service available. Send mail to
- FTPmail@decwrl.dec.com with the body of the message containing
- the word 'help'. Another site offering this service in Australia
- can be reached at the address FTPmail@cs.uow.edu.au.
-
- -=-
-
- You may also retrieve files from the SIMTEL-20 and the INFO-MAC
- archives by using one of the many mail servers which maintain
- a shadow archive of these sites. Send the following message to one
- of the listserv sites.

- help

- See the IBMPC and Macintosh articles for a complete list of servers.
