- Anonymous FTP from wsmr-simtel20.army.mil, directory
- PD1:<MSDOS.UUCP>
- Automated mail server running on Clarkson University's

- Note: Note: Note: Because of time and disk space restrictions, I do not
- manually e-mail copies of the source or executables,
- provide custom .ARC or .ZIP files with only a limited
- set of the files, or provide other custom distribution
- services-- please don't ask.

- FTP programs vary from system to system; contact your local
- system support staff for instructions on anonymous FTP. Note
- that because of simtel20's popular archives, sun.soe.clarkson.edu
- is generally easier to connect to via anonymous FTP.

- Send mail to archive-server@sun.soe.clarkson.edu and with the

- message, you can request files using commands such as "send uupc

- upgraded, and may not be available. When stablized, it be can

-
- To retrieve UUPC/extended via Kermit, you must have a Kermit
- program which can issue the GET and FINISH commands to a Kermit
- server.
-
- 1. Set your Kermit to:
-
- Maximum packet size (optional, but important)
- Two windows (optional)
- Three byte checksum (optional)
- 1200 or 2400 baud
- No parity
- ^S/^Q flow control
-
- 2. Call 1-617-641-4817 between 9 AM and 5:30 PM weekdays, or
- any night between 11:30 PM and 6 AM (All times are Eastern).
- At all other times, the system will reject your call.
-
- 3. After connect, press ENTER and kewgate's "login:" prompt
- will appear. Enter the user id "anonymous"and press ENTER.
-
- 4. The "password:" prompt will appear. Enter the password,
- "ribbit", and press ENTER.
-
- Note: Note: Note: Both the user id and password are case sensitive, and
- you cannot backspace when typing them in. If you make
- an error then press ENTER until you get the "login:"
- prompt again and start over.
-
- 5. A short hello message will appear, and then MS-Kermit will
- await your command. Escape to your local command mode, and
- then issue a GET for one or more of the files listed below.
-
- Note: Note: Note: If your Kermit program cannot issue a directory
- command, retrieve the file INDEX for a current list of
- the available files. The INDEX lists files in both in
- the current directory and its subdirectories; Kermit,
- however, will not be able to retrieve files from the
- subdirectories. (Any files in subdirectories are
- accessible via anonymous UUCP, described below.)
-
- 6. When done, issue the FINISH command to shutdown the Kermit
- server. DO NOT just hang up your telephone, because then
- you will hang up kewgate until it times out, which is not
- critical but is unkind since now you know better.

-
- The files available on kewgate can also be downloaded via
- anonymous UUCP. To use anonymous UUCP, define entries for the
- system kewgate in your SYSTEMS file and PERMISSN file. The
- SYSTEMS file entry should define the phone number as 1-617-641-
- 4817, the user id as "nuucp", and the password as "nuucp".
- kewgate accepts anonymous UUCP phone calls between midnight and 5
- AM any night, and between 10 AM and 4 PM weekdays. All times are
- Eastern.
-
- Note: Note: Note: Beginning with release 1.11m of UUPC/extended, the
- sample systems file in the documentation archive
- includes a sample entry for kewgate.
-
- The files are located in the home directory for nuucp, so files
- should be requested via the UUCP command with the syntax
- ~nuucp/filename. For example, to retrieve the index for the
- archive to your local /tmp directory, issue the command:
-
- uucp kewgate!~nuucp/index /tmp/
-
- The UUCICO program must then be invoked to actually process the
- request. Users should retrieve the file index first, and then
- issue additional requests for the actual files wanted based on
- the current directory listing.

- Douglas Hamilton of Hamilton Laboratories posts UUPC/extended to
- the ibm.os2/listings area on BIX. For additional information,
- contact him (userid hamilton) on BIX; tell him Snuffles sent you.

-
- Because of CompuServe's six character limit on file names, the
- files uploaded to CompuServe do not follow the normal
- UUPC/extended naming convention. Contact the UUPC/extended Help
- Desk (from CompuServe, >Internet: help@kew.com) for the forum ame
- and file names.
