I am sure this must have been asked 10000+ times, but I have not seen
it recently and I have been looking for a while.

1.  What exactly is ftp and how can I get this usenet news site "up
	and running"?  We archive net sources here at Adelphi
	University, and maybe I can make them available via anonymous
	uucp and/or ftp if I can get information on ftp.

2.  I notice several requests from people asking for someone to 
	"mail me the sources for xyz".  I would like to help, but
	don't know exactly how to mail them, and I don't want to
	get anyone angry.  Do I just mail the source code via email?
	Is this type of bandwidth usage frowned upon?

3.  I have not seen any of the above in any of the news documentation
	that came with out Netnews distribution, I looked.
	Can someone out there helpd me out?

thanks
