NCSA Telnet implements an ftp server.  There's a version (called BYU
Telnet, I think) which includes a crude ftp client, as well.  So, by
running Telnet on each end you can do Mac-to-Mac transfers across
AppleTalk.  Telnet was available via anonymous ftp from
zaphod.ncsa.uiuc.edu.  I vaguely remember reading that
ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu was an alternative host (or alias?).
