Remember this when you can't seem to transfer a file. Found on some sites as .z files. This could be helpful to people new to FTP that don't know how to unpack the file they have just transferred. Using FTP without direct Internet access. It is possible to get files from a site by using a general mail server.
Many sites have their own servers.
Problems with a site. Mail the problems to the admin address shown in the Sites list. Archie is a special service that keeps file listings from different FTP sites. Of course you can also try a server somewhat closer but this list is from archie.ans.net. And another problem with archie is that different servers can provide you with different answers depending on the ftp sites they currently have in their memory.
