Hi, I'm running a SysV system, and am looking for something like FTP -- 
mainly, you mail my system a command, like "directory", and it does that
command and mail the request back to you.  You can request it to "send"
files to you, or you can "put" (upload) files to it, by mailing.  Basic-
ally, I'm looking for something as close to "FTP-by-mail" as can be had
on a SysV UNIX machine.

Is there anything like this out there, and if so, can someone please mail
it to me?  (As a last resort, I have a friend with a UNIX account I can
pressure into letting me borrow, if any FTPing needs to be done...)
