For all you unlucky people without ftp access, there is a way to get 
files from piggy (or any machine) send to you via uuencoded mail.

Do the following:
send a mail message to bitftp@pucc.bitnet with the following body

FTP piggy.ucsb.edu UUENCODE        (or use 128.111.72.50 for host)
USER anonymous
..more ftp commands
..for example:
CD pub
CD coherent
bin               ( >>>> very important for binary (.Z etc) files)
get ls-lR.Z       (a listing)
QUIT		  (always end with quit)

The reply will be send to you via mail message; MAKE SURE YOUR FROM: 
LINE IS CORRECT AND COMPLETE!!

You can give other ftp commands as dir and help.

This ftp server was established for bitnet users, but I don't see why 
other non-ftp users can't use it.  I tried it and you don't have to be 
on BITNET to use it.

I have nothing to do with this server, I just found out how to use it 
and pass that information through to you; please don't send me tons of 
mail.
