[Edited for comp.archives -- I removed the list, 1900 lines is a bit too much to post. Check comp.misc or the ftp site to get your copy. --Ed] This is my list of Internet sites accepting anonymous ftp. It is dis- tributed automatically once each month. If you are sending this on to someone or in any other way providing this for someone else, please leave this header intact. Otherwise I get many questions which this would have answered. Feel free to make this list avail- able anywhere you like, as we all benefit from a freer flow of information. This list is posted to comp.misc, and comp.sources.wanted, on Usenet and is distributed via anonymous FTP from pilot.njin.net (128.6.7.38) as well as being available from several other FTP sites (see list). I am also running a simple mail-server from my account on pilot. For more information about the server, mail odin@pilot.njin.net with a subject of "listserv-request" and a message body of "send help". Rather than requesting the latest list from me by mail, simply send the request to the listserv. If you send me a request for the latest list, I will send you the help file for the listserv. I don't have the time to read all these newsgroups so if there is any- thing you want me to see, please use email. There is also a mailing list which is being used to distribute the list, and to get feedback on any new ideas. If you wish to be added to the mailing list mail me at pilot. Special thanks goes to Edward Vielmetti for all the work he does posting new archive information to comp.archives and to David Katinsky, who allows me to work on this list from pilot. If there are any corrections/updates/etc to be made please mail me at odin@pilot.njin.net. That also goes for descriptions of the archives. I don't have time to personally check each and every site so if you use a site regularly and can put together a better description, please tell me so I can update this list. This is especially true for sites described as "unknown" or with vague descriptions. Also, if you are providing updates, it is easi- est on me if you either state "add/remove " or simply supply me with a complete new description of the site. This makes it easier for me to make the changes without any errors, especially in the case of archives being moved to different sites. The last line for each site contains the date of last modification, and the login and password in the form /. For the sites that have "odin@pilot.njin.net" for the password, substitute your own mail address (user@host.domain). It is suggested that you use your mail address as the password wherever possible, even if it isn't required to let sites keep better track of who is using their site. For those people who dislike the date or the login and password there, grep it out yourself. If you can't stand the format the list is in, the raw database is available from pilot and you can write your own format program. For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but do have mail, I have included the mail address of an archive that will retrieve files for you through the mail. Send "help" in a message to the server to find out the exact commands necessary. The only mail-ftp archive I know of is: bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (most well-known) Please don't ask me how to use it, as it can explain itself better than I can.

The site administrators for the sites listed below have made their systems available out of the good- ness of their hearts. Please respect their wishes and restrict your FTPing to non-prime hours (1900 - 0600 hours local time for the site). This is especially true for sites not in your country. Please keep that in mind when you are FTPing. None of us want to see sites start to close down because a few are being inconsiderate.
