- How to upload to atari.archive.umich.edu:
-
- There are two main ways to upload to the archive: FTP or mail
-
- 1: FTP - This is the preferred method, as it doesn't clog my mailbox with
- megs and megs of stuff, not to mention it's a bit easier for you too.
- First, create a small text file with descriptions of each file you want
- to upload contained within (see 0README_ALL_UPLOADERS in /New).
- Logon to the archive as usual, then issue the following commands
-
- cd ~atari/New
- type binary
- put filename.ext
- put descriptionfile.ext
-
- Ed Krimen, ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu, adds this:
-
- For those that may not know, may I add that, for aesthetic effects,
- if you enter "hash," before you "put filename.ext" or "get
- filename.ext," the ftp program will display a # for every 1024 bytes
- sent or received. Actually, when you 'put' a file, it will display
- bunch of # at once. Moreover, if you enter "bell," it will sound your
- system bell when a function has completed. Finally, you can send and
- receive a list of files using the "mput" and "mget" commands,
- respectively, with a list of the files after the command.
-
-
- 2: MAIL - This is a bit slower for you and for me, but is still very effective.
- Simply uuencode the file, (please split it into parts ~=60 K or less please)
- and mail the result to boydm@atari.archive.umich.edu. Please name
- the parts in the subject line. This is really helpfull as the parts
- usually don't arrive in the proper sequence. Also, please include a
- message labeled file transmission, containing a short description of
- the file, etc.
