Uploading to Atari.archive.umich.edu
and
Posting to comp.{binaries,sources}.atari.st
By Jeff Weiner, Atari.archive Guardian
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.
