      Here's volume 2, #2 (Winter 1991) of the mac.ftp.list.

I will post revisions as needed to the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.mac.misc,
and the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu.  This document is
copyrighted 1991 by Mike Gleason, but may be freely distributed and archived.

This issue could be the last for a long time;  I may have the opportunity
to take a much needed sabbatical, so I may disappear for up to a full year.
So if you send me mail, and you don't get a reply from me, that means I'm
on leave.  In any case, you can use the "finger" utility on the account
mgleason@cse.unl.edu, and it will tell you if I am away or not.

Please send newly discovered sites (with IP numbers and directories to
check if possible), bug fixes, and comments to:

    mgleason@cse.unl.edu (Mike Gleason)


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.  For example, "nslookup apple.com" would spit
out "130.43.2.2."  The reverse is also true, "nslookup 130.43.2.2" would
print out "apple.com."

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.

Here's a handy chart to keep track which programs unmangle which formats:
                      .sit  .sit                         unix
                .cpt   1.5   dlx  .hqx  .zip  .dd  .lzh  .Z  .pit  .arc  .bin

Notes on some of the above sites:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  1. ftp.apple.com  (130.43.2.3)  /dts
     Apple's official ftp site to supply the world with System software,
     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.

  2. 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

  4. mac.archive.umich.edu  (141.211.165.34)  /mac
     This big site isn't a sumex-aim wannabe; they have a large number of
     files, many of them unique.  There are many outline fonts, mostly Adobe
     type 1's, and a few TrueType and type 3's.  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 :-)

     A medium-sized site, often scoops Sumex with unique files. My favorite
     feature of Rascal is that they store their submissions in MacBinary, so
     you don't need to de-binhex your downloads.
     RECENT FILES:  look in the /mac/NEW directory.

     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. Because of space constraints, they periodically delete
     old files to make room for new ones.

     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 ;-)

The remainder of this document contains entries for your ".netrc" file.
The ".netrc" file is used by the ftp shell to perform auto-logins when
you try to connect to sites who have an entry in the RC.  Ftp will enter
in "anonymous" and a password automatically.  For example, if you have
this line in your ".netrc" file:

machine sumex-aim.stanford.edu login anonymous password my@email.address

Whenever you try to connect to sumex, you won't be asked to enter in your
login and password; a minor convenience, but it saves keystrokes if you
ftp to certain sites often.  In addition, _some_ versions of ftp let you
define macros that execute automatically when you connect.  Here is my
actual sumex entry as an example:

machine sumex-aim.stanford.edu
    login anonymous
    password mgleason@cse.unl.edu
    macdef init
        cd /info-mac
        get ./help/recent-files.txt "|grep -v '.abs' >
 /user/students/ugrad/mgleason/docs/sumex-new"
        !less /user/students/ugrad/mgleason/docs/sumex-new
        ascii
        pwd

Note that a blank line signals the end of the macro.  The complicated
'get' line grabs the list of recent files, strips out any abstract
entries, and saves it in a file.  Then I use my pager to read the file,
turn on ascii transfer mode, and print the current directory.

The generic netrc follows.  Please replace all instances of
"me@host.domain.net" with your real email address.  An easy way
to do that is name this .netrc file "tmp.1" and then do:
    sed 's/me@host.domain.net/real@email.address/g' tmp.1 > tmp.2
    chmod 600 tmp.2
    mv -i tmp.2  $HOME/.netrc
