Files on the British-cars file servers and how to get them: Rev. 8/1/92 RG
The file servers are machines where various archives and articles of
interest are stored. You may get copies via "anonymous FTP", or by E-mail.
-----
A) FTP
If your machine has an internet connection, and runs the file transfer
program FTP, you've got what you need. Read your local manual/help on
using FTP.
1) Run FTP on your local machine, opening a connection to
hoosier.cs.utah.edu (128.110.4.73)
2) Logon as user "anonymous", and use your name as the password.
3) Change to directory /pub/sol. (cd /pub/sol)
4) You may list the files using FTP's dir or ls commands to see files.
5) Set the file type to binary using the binary or image command if
you're going to get something other than plain text files.
(Like GIF's, or programs)
6) Use get or mget to one or multiple files.
7) Exit with the bye or quit command when done.
-----
B) E-Mail server
You may also retreive archives via an E-Mail server run by TJ Higgins.
To get instructions, send E-mail to:
ARPA'ish: server@ingr.com
or
UUCP'ish: ...!uunet!ingr!server
with the word "help" as the subject. (In the mail header) The server will
then send you the help file. (To your From: or Reply-To: address).
-----
C) Hoosier is now running an experimental WAIS server. (hoosier.cs.utah.edu,
128.110.4.73 port 210 Databases- sol and autocross). This is a networked
database index/search/retreive system. You can access this if you
have a WAIS client on your local machine.
