Date: 09 Oct 93 20:26:38 EDT From: bruce grubb <72130.3557@CompuServe.COM> Subject: [*] mac.ftp.list Version 3.7.5 Archive name: mac-ftp-list375.txt category: text This is the latest version this report and should replace the previous version of mac-ftp-list.txt. This is a update to Mike Gleason's ftp list {He gave me permision to continue it}. It lists a good number of mac anonymous ftp sites with notes on some and a little blurb on how to use anonymous ftp. --------------------blurb ends, report commences--------------------------- From: bgrubb@scf.nmsu.edu (Bruce Grubb) Subject: mac.ftp.list, Version 3.7.5 Here's Version 3.7.5 (Oct 8,1993) Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind permision to continue it. Due to numberous requests I will post revisions as needed to the USENET newsgroups comp.sys.mac.misc, comp.sys.mac.apps, and comp.sys.mac.games as well as the info-mac archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. The consept for this document is copyrighted 1991 by Mike Gleason with permision to Bruce Grubb for alterations, but may be freely distributed and archived. Please send newly discovered sites (with IP numbers and directories to check if possible), bug fixes, and comments to: bgrubb@scf.nmsu.edu 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 Mike Gleason 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. With some versions, "nslookup ftp.apple.com" would spit out "130.43.2.3." The reverse is also true, "nslookup 130.43.2.3" would print out "ftp.apple.com." Normally nslookup on an IP address just verifies the address as valid and to do a reverse lookup you must reverse the address and use the in-addr.arpa domain with the lookup type set to "ANY." Most files you'll get off ftp are in that pain in the butt format, binhex. Mike Gleason usually downloaded to his unix box, and then used 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. WARNING: make sure that the communication program is in BINARY mode or downloading of ".bin" and "unpacked" program's won't work. For example, Kermit's binary mode on some Unix machines is accessed by typing 'kermit -i' at the promt. Here's a handy chart to keep track which programs unmangle which formats: .sit .sit unix Macintosh .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin StuffIt Lite* D X X X D X X D D X StuffIt Deluxe* D X X X D X X D D X Stuffit Expander D D D D ArcMac X BinHex 4.0 X BinHex 5.0 X X Compact Pro X D X DDExpand D D D Disk Doubler D X X MacCompress X MacLHarc X PackIt X UnZip D ZipIt X Other .sit .sit unix computers .cpt 1.5 dlx .hqx .zip .dd .lzh .Z .pit .arc .bin mcvert (unix) X X PKZIP (DOS) X unpack (unix) D X X X unsitins.exe D D D = Decode only X = Encode and decode * Stuffit Deluxe translators can be used with Stuffit Lite. Current versions are 3.0.7 as of this writing. Special note: .hqx files are the ONLY files that can be downloaded in ASCII mode; all others must be downloaded in BINARY mode for the file to decompress properly. Otherwise you will get errors like "unreadable file" or "file is corrupt" when you try to decompress them. These sites have many mac files, and are still getting new ones: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ezinfo.ethz.ch 129.132.2.72 ./mac 1 ftp.apple.com 130.43.2.3 /dts 2 ftp.cso.uiuc.edu 128.174.5.59 /mac/MUG 3 ftp.funet.fi 128.214.6.100 /pub/mac 4 ftp.lu.se 130.235.132.90 /pub/mac 5 irisa.irisa.fr 131.254.2.3 /News/comp.binaries.mac 6 mac.archive.umich.edu 141.211.32.2 /mac 7 nic.switch.ch 130.59.1.40 /software/mac 8 sumex-aim.stanford.edu 36.44.0.6 /info-mac 9 toklab.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp 133.1.12.100 /mac/info-mac/info-mac 10 These sites are home to a few specific file(s) or file types: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- arthur.cs.purdue.edu 128.10.2.1 /pub/trinkle (mac32.tar.Z) aux.support.apple.com 130.43.6.2 / (A/UX stuff) bert.cs.byu.edu 128.187.2.20 /NCSA_Telnet (BYU's version) biom3.univ-lyon1.fr 134.214.100.42 /pub/mac (MacMul, GraphMu) boombox.micro.umn.edu 128.101.95.95 /pub (gopher, POPmail, more) brownvm.brown.edu 128.148.128.40 / (tn3270, term, lpr) ccb.ucsf.edu 128.218.1.13 /Pub/Sound_list (sounds!) cecelia.media.mit.edu 18.85.0.104 /pub (CSound) chook.cs.adelaide.edu.au 129.127.8.8 /pub/VHDL-Cookbook cs.orst.edu 128.193.32.1 /pub/mac (lab-logger) d31rz0.stanford.edu 36.76.0.151 /Igor (Igor demos, utilities) dartvax.dartmouth.edu 129.170.16.4 /pub/mac (Dartmouth XCMDs, etc) dftsrv.gsfc.nasa.gov 128.183.10.134 /mac (MacSecure.3.1.hqx) fiji.wri.com 140.177.10.76 /pub (Mathematica) ftp.acns.nwu.edu 129.105.113.52 /pub/disinfectant (Disinf HQ) 11 129.105.49.1 /pub/tiff (mactonext2.sit.hqx) 11 ftp.cayman.com 143.137.1.2 /pub (GatorBox stuff) ftp.cc.purdue.edu 128.210.10.6 /pub/mac (RevRdist) ftp.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at ??? /pub/mac/system ftp.embl-heidelberg.de 192.54.41.33 /?

(TidBITS#130; Gateways 1: Internet) Notes on some of the above sites: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ezinfo.ethz.ch (129.132.2.72) ./mac A large European site. While ezinfo is primarily a BBS for Users in Switzerland and Europe, this host also provides anonymous FTP and DECNET access to its archives. Preferrably use night hours as the BBS is heavily used by local users during daytime hours. Guest can only see 50% of the menus on the BBS. The Macintosh files are taken from comp.binaries.mac, with local uploads now and then. Recent files are stored in ./mac/news/ for one month before being redistributed in their respective directories. HOW TO UPLOAD: mail .hqx files to danny@ezinfo.ethz.ch TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. RECENT FILES: see above. HELP: eis_manager@ezinfo.ethz.ch 2. ftp.apple.com (130.43.2.3) /dts Replacing apple.com {apple.apple.com} (130.43.2.2) this is Apple's official ftp site to supply the world with System software {up to 7.0.0 that is}, utilities, technical notes, sample source code, press release archives, and developer tools. Callers outside America are restricted to what they can download. :-( Also, when new software is placed on this site it can quickly become overloaded. 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. 3. ftp.cso.uiuc.edu (128.174.5.59) /mac/MUG Old name ux1.cso.uiuc.edu. 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 ;-) ALL FILES: /mac/MUG/0Biglist.MUG HELP: /mac/MUG/0README.MUG TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 4. 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 HELP: /pub/mac/HELP HOW TO UPLOAD: Use ftp to put files into /pub/mac/incoming. TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE). 5. ftp.lu.se (130.235.132.89) Old name was pollux.lu.se. Sizable collection of Mac stuff. Mostly .hqx files with a few .gif and .bin. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything else. 6. irisa.irisa.fr (131.254.2.3) /News/comp.binaries.mac They keep archives of the postings to the comp.binaries.mac newsgroup. The files all stored in one huge directory, so instead of doing an 'ls', get the index file to look at offline. ALL FILES: /News/comp.binaries.mac/index HOW TO UPLOAD: Post to the comp.binaries.mac USENET group. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 7. mac.archive.umich.edu (141.211.32.2) /mac This big site has a large number of files, many of them unique. There are many outline fonts, mostly Adobe type 1's, and a few type 3's and TrueType. 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 :-) ALL FILES: /mac/00help/index.txt RECENT FILES: /mac/00help/newfiles.txt IN QUEUE: Look in the /mac/incoming directory. HELP: /mac/00help HOW TO UPLOAD: ftp-put files in the /mac/incoming directory or e-mail to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu {e-mail results in crossposting to other archives} TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything else. 8. nic.switch.ch (130.59.1.40) /software/mac mirror/info-mac /mirror/Oberon/MacII A pretty large European site. It is a server for academic and research users primarily in Switzerland, but also for the ones in Europe and the rest of the world. There is also an interactive browsing mode available via the SWITCHinfo telnet access to nic.switch.ch with login name 'info', no password required. A HyperCard stack offers similar access facilities in a Macintosh way, it can be found in /software/mac/SWITCHinfo. In /software/mac/src is a unique collection of Macintosh software that comes with freely redistributable sources. ALL FILES: /0overview/ls-lR (very large, > 3 MBytes!) RECENT FILES: /0overview/new-files HELP: /0README or mail to switchinfo@switch.ch 9. sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6) /info-mac 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. ALL FILES: /info-mac/help/all-files.txt RECENT FILES: /info-mac/help/recent-files.txt HELP: Look in the /info-mac/help directory, read 'em all. HOW TO UPLOAD: email posts or files to info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu emailing to macgifts@mac.archive.umich.edu also works. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 10. toklab.ics.osaka-u.ac.jp (133.1.12.100) /mac/info-mac/info-mac A good sized Mac site in Japan. 'ls' does not list files so use 'dir' instead. Files are orginized by date so reading the 00dir.recent and 00dir.verbose lists is imperative. All files are unix compressed .hqx (.hqx.Z) and therefore require BINARY (IMAGE) mode to download. ALL FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.verbose RECENT FILES: /mac/info-mac/info-mac/00dir.recent TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE). 11. ftp.acns.nwu.edu (129.105.113.52 129.105.49.1) /pub/disinfectant or /tiff The headquarters of John Norstad's excellent anti-virus program, Disinfectant, the sample code, and some other stuff, like macph. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 12. ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu (141.142.20.50) /Mac Also know as zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu. Old #ip was 128.174.20.50. NCSA keeps Telnet, ContigAsm, Contour, DataScope, GelReader, HypercardAnimator, NCSA Image, Import2HDF, Layout, & PalEdit here. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 13. ftp.primate.wisc.edu (144.92.43.11) /pub/mac Contains some programs by Paul DuBois, and a few other utilities: BlobMgr, FaceLift, Grep, TransSkel,ZoomIdle, MakeWrite, SicnEdit, gnome, and psuedo-fpu. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 14. ftp.uu.net (192.48.96.9) /languages/abc You can find a mac version of the ABC programming language here, and also a macintosh version of STDWIN as /amiga-sources/stdwin/mac.tar.Z. UUNet also archives huge amounts of other material, like USENET news, GNU stuff, bsd sources, internet specs, popular unix packages, and bug fixes. ALL FILES: /index/master.Z, /index/master-time.Z RECENT FILES: /index/changes.week.Z, /index/changes.day.1.Z IN QUEUE: /index/incoming.Z HELP: /help, /index/README HOW TO UPLOAD: /tmp TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE). 15. ics.uci.edu (128.195.1.1) /mac/think-c This is the home of the Think C mailing list. You'll find a bunch of Think Class Library stuff here, along with general Think C code, interfaces, and updaters. Read all the README files in /mac/think-c for more info (and how to get on the mailing list). TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 16. imag.imag.fr (129.88.32.1) /pub/CABRI Not only is this the home of the CABRI (graph, geometry) software, but they are also nice enough to keep the most recent uploads to comp.binaries.mac, in MacBinary format (yay!). It is recommened that CABRI be retrieved from wuarchive.wustl.edu TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE). 17. microlib.cc.utexas.edu (128.83.1.21) /microlib/mac Headquarters of Chris Johnson's anti-virus utility Gatekeeper.

It also keeps files long deleted from the archives it shadows {/systems/mac/info-mac/Old.} Also shadows several non Mac archives. The Simtel mirror was "removed due to lack of space. Most of this material had not been updated for several years. For older Macintosh software, please check /mirrors/info-mac/Old." (README file in mirrors/macintosh). The directories all cross into one another {/systems/mac/info-mac/Old is the same as /mirrors/info-mac/Old for example.} so it is very easy to find the shadow archives. {The /mirrors/ route is good for people who want to get to a directory fast.} TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII for .hqx files, BINARY (IMAGE) for everything else. 28. rascal.ics.utexas.edu (128.83.138.20) /mac Don't bother connecting here; this medium-sized site was gutted and now has very few files.
