- Where I Get This Wonderful Thing?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Most of this file edited from FSP FAQ
- The `official' place for FSP distributions is ftp.germany.eu.net
- (192.76.144.75), in the directory /pub/network/inet/fsp. It is
- available both by FTP and FSP: the FSP server is on port 2001.
- Another official site is taxus.uib.no (129.177.30.10), which
- only runs an FSP server -- it's on port 9000. The directory
- on taxus is /fspdist.
-
- (Note: If you're using Unix, and you don't want to set up a
- server, you will probably want to get one of the FTP-like clients
- instead -- fspclient, fspcli, or fspsh -- from the same place).
-
- The latest versions are:
-
- Unix, VMS: fsp.271.tar.gz
- OS/2: fsp2-03b.zip
- MS-DOS: pcfsp104.zip
-
-
- For the small time user:
-
- The interface I use is Phil Richards' (pgr@sst.icl.co.uk)
- fspclient. The latest version (still pre-alpha, but more
- reliable than your average beta release) is fspclient.0.0-h.
- You can get it by FTP from ftp.robots.ox.ac.uk as
- /pub/ox.src/fspclient.0.0-h+.tar.Z .
-
- Another interface to use is Nicolai Langfeldt's 'fspcli'. It
- has a ftp like interface and more. It is in the release
- directory on ftp.germany, and it has also been posted on
- alt.sources. Another nice thing about it is that it's a
- small(ish) perl script rather than a large compiled executable,
- and it's not alpha OR beta. Presently the latest version is 1.2
-
- Ove Ruben R Olsen (Ruben@uib.no) has written a client quite
- similar to Nicolai's, but even smaller. It is available in
- the fspsh directory on taxus.uib.no/9000 (see below).
-
- Note that if you want to use either of the last two clients,
- you'll have to have the Perl language installed. You can get
- the latest version by FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu in
- /pub/gnu/perl*, or by FSP from wuarchive (see below) in
- /mirrors/gnu/perl*.
