Note: Mike Gleason no longer supports this list and has given me his kind permision to continue it. I will post revisions as needed to the USENET newsgroup comp.sys.mac.misc, and 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@dante.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 me 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. I usually download to our unix box, and then use 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* X X X X X X X X X X X StuffIt Deluxe* X X X X X X X X X X X ArcMac X BinHex 4.0 X BinHex 5.0 X X Compact Pro X X X DDExpand X X X Disk Doubler X X X MacCompress X MacLHarc X PackIt X UnZip 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) X X X X unsitins.exe X X * Stuffit Deluxe translators can be used with Stuffit Lite. Current versions are 3.0.5 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.

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.

ALL FILES: /mac/README RECENT FILES: /mac/NEWFILES.TXT HELP: Mail Andrew Knox at macftp@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz. HOW TO UPLOAD: macftp@ccu1.aukuni.ac.nz TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 23. isca.icaen.uiowa.edu (128.255.19.175) //isca01/bbs/files/infomac The University of Iowa provides some room for the Iowa Student Computing Association, and not only have they given them an ftp site, but also an Internet BBS (see Mars.ee.mssate.edu, above). While it is easy to get on the BBS (login as 'iscabbs'), they don't let non-UI students use the Internet Relay Chat. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 24. pomme.src.umd.edu (128.8.111.252) /info-mac Also named src-aux.src.umd.edu. On a Mac running A/UX 3.0 this is the Institute for Systems Research at the University of Maryland's sumex shadow for UMCP and the east coast and it also adds a few files. 25. src.doc.ic.ac.uk (146.169.3.7) /mac A London based Info-mac shadow. HELP: mail ukuug-soft@doc.ic.ac.uk to contact the maintainers. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 26. wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4) /systems/mac This is the de-facto king of shadow archives; it mirrors three mac sites: sumex {/systems/mac/info-mac}, rascal.ics.utexas.edu {/systems/mac/rascal}, and mac.archive.umich.edu {/systems/mac/umich.edu}. It also keeps files long deleted from the archives it shadows {/systems/mac/info-mac/Old.} Also shadows a few 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 directory). 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. 27. apple.com (130.43.2.2) /pub Also named apple.apple.com. Don't bother connecting here as the site has been set up to respond with "Anonymous FTP service can be found at ftp.apple.com" when one tries to do an anonymous ftp logon. 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. It still gets a few new files but most of those are text files. wuarchive.wustl.edu holds the files that used to be here and duplicates the few new files rascal gets. 29. ftp.bio.indiana.edu (129.79.224.50) / All sorts of scientific applications, in /biology/mac, /chemistry/mac, /science/mac, and /molbio/mac. HELP: /archive.doc HOW TO UPLOAD: /incoming TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 30. plains.nodak.edu (134.129.111.64) /pub/mac/pub Kind of stale, but they had some stuff I hadn't seen anywhere else. TRANSFER MODE: Use ASCII. 31. wsmr-simtel20.army.mil (26.2.0.74) PD9: Simtel has many files, but they are all extremely old. It's also a pain in the butt to use, since it's not a unix machine. If you do decide to download a file, make sure you set the mode to TENEX, and not ascii or binary! Given the age of the files here, system conflicts with present systems are becoming a problem. HELP: try "get SIMTEL20-MACINTOSH.INFO |more" at an ftp prompt. TRANSFER MODE: Use TENEX. 32. fsa.cpsc.ucalgary.ca (136.159.2.1) /pub/text.compression.corpus Holds sample files to benchmark compression programs, voyager .gifs, some FORTH stuff in /pub/forth/mac, and a text editor that predicts what you'll type next in /pub/the.reactive.keyboard/mac. TRANSFER MODE: Use BINARY (IMAGE).
