`
`One of the better kept secrets on the net appears to be the ability of
`_anyone_ who can use email to retrieve stuff from FTP sites.
`
`Princeton University Computer Center runs a pro bono email<->ftp server.
`If you have the FTP documentation (available as part of the BSD 4.3
`printed manual set, for example, or online as "man" pages in several
`Unix systems) so you'll have some idea what to do with the instructions,
`then send a message containing the two lines:
`
`HELP
`FTPLIST
`
`to bit...@pucc.princeton.edu, and you will receive a document showing
`how to get started with the server, and a list of sites the server knows
`how to access by ASCII name (it can probably access _any_ FTP site if
`you have the numeric net name of the site).
`
`This is by no means a facile interface, since it seems impossible, for
`example, to ask directly for a full directory of a site's ftp archives,
`but, especially if posters are careful to specify the full pathname of
`archive files, it does provide a means of retrieving files.
`
`Big files are sent in pieces, binary files are sent uuencoded, and so
`the usual skills used to deal with large posted archives are also needed
`to deal with bitftp emailed files.
`
`The server is bandwidth limited, and services small requests ahead of
`large ones, and it would be much nicer if there were several such
`servers scattered about the net to lessen the single point email
`bottleneck, but it does work.
`
`Clumsy as it is, it beats all hollow pestering the net to do the work
`for you.
`
`Of course, this could all be avoided if the sites that provide anonymous
`ftp server access provided anonymous UUCP server access to the same
`archives, since the latter does not require a direct link, merely any
`link at all.
`
`Kent, the man from xanth.
