Is it possible to use a mail server instead of ftp? There are a number of sites that archive the Usenet sources newsgroups and make them available via an email query system. You send a message to an automated server saying something like "send comp.sources.unix/fbm", and a few hours or days later you get the file in the mail. >> There are several sites that will perform general FTP retrievals for you in response to a similar mail query. For information on using one of them, send a message like this to info-server@cs.net : request: info topic: help-ftp request: end (NOTE: this server is currently "down for repairs". No estimate on when or if it will return.) And for info on another one, send this message to bitftp@pucc.bitnet : help Please be considerate, and don't over-use these services. If people start using them to retrieve hundreds of megabytes of GIF files, they will probably disappear. -- comp.archives file verification ftp.cs.widener.edu total 101 -r--r--r-- 1 0 2857 Apr 6 16:22 umich-1.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4440 Mar 11 23:39 Index -r--r--r-- 1 0 4558 Feb 26 13:22 washu.engr.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2015 Feb 26 13:22 uofwales.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 1607 Feb 26 13:22 uofpitt.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4330 Feb 26 13:21 uofnewmexico.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2261 Feb 26 13:21 uofmissourirolla.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4139 Feb 26 13:21 uofmissouric.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 1571 Feb 26 13:21 uofmissourikc.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 1032 Feb 26 13:21 uofidaho.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2788 Feb 26 13:21 umc.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2677 Feb 26 13:21 rose.hulman.cs.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 3187 Feb 26 13:21 riacs.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4738 Feb 26 13:21 purdue.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 3890 Feb 26 13:21 newmexstu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2356 Feb 26 13:21 newcastleu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 6086 Feb 26 13:21 michstu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4307 Feb 26 13:21 umich-2.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 3272 Feb 26 13:21 kansas.state.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 3707 Feb 26 13:21 jmadisonu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2267 Feb 26 13:21 danwebster.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2758 Feb 26 13:21 columbiau.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 4328 Feb 26 13:21 colgateu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2380 Feb 26 13:20 bostonu.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 2398 Feb 26 13:20 baylor.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 1472 Feb 26 13:20 bitnet.Z -r--r--r-- 1 0 7132 Feb 26 13:20 acadia.Z found cud-school-policies ok ftp.cs.widener.edu:/pub/cud/schools/
