ATTENTION: If you have any questions, comments, or anything else feel free  to
mail me, but please read the rest of this header first!

[Edited for comp.archives -- I removed the list, 1900 lines is a bit too
much to post.  Check comp.misc or the ftp site to get your copy.  --Ed]

      This is my list of Internet sites accepting anonymous ftp.  It  is  dis-
 tributed automatically once each month.

      If you are sending this on to someone or in any other way providing this
 for  someone  else,  please  leave  this header intact.  Otherwise I get many
 questions which this would have answered.  Feel free to make this list avail-
 able anywhere you like, as we all benefit from a freer flow of information.

      This list is posted to comp.misc, and comp.sources.wanted, on Usenet and
 is  distributed via anonymous FTP from pilot.njin.net (128.6.7.38) as well as
 being available from several other FTP sites (see list).  I am also running a
 simple  mail-server from my account on pilot.  For more information about the
 server, mail odin@pilot.njin.net with a subject of "listserv-request"  and  a
 message  body of "send help".  Rather than requesting the latest list from me
 by mail, simply send the request to the listserv.  If you send me  a  request
 for the latest list, I will send you the help file for the listserv.

      I don't have the time to read all these newsgroups so if there  is  any-
 thing  you  want  me  to see, please use email.  There is also a mailing list
 which is being used to distribute the list, and to get feedback  on  any  new
 ideas.  If you wish to be added to the mailing list mail me at pilot.

      Special thanks goes to Edward Vielmetti for all the work he does posting
 new archive information to comp.archives and to David Katinsky, who allows me
 to work on this list from pilot.

      If there are any corrections/updates/etc to be made please  mail  me  at
 odin@pilot.njin.net.   That  also  goes  for descriptions of the archives.  I
 don't have time to personally check each and every site so if you use a  site
 regularly  and can put together a better description, please tell me so I can
 update this list.  This is especially true for sites described  as  "unknown"
 or  with vague descriptions.  Also, if you are providing updates, it is easi-
 est on me if you either state "add/remove <whatever>"  or  simply  supply  me
 with  a complete new description of the site.  This makes it easier for me to
 make the changes without any errors, especially in the case of archives being
 moved to different sites.

      The last line for each site contains the date of last modification,  and
 the  login  and  password in the form <login>/<password>.  For the sites that
 have "odin@pilot.njin.net" for the password, substitute your own mail address
 (user@host.domain).   It  is  suggested that you use your mail address as the
 password wherever possible, even if it  isn't  required  to  let  sites  keep
 better  track  of  who is using their site.  For those people who dislike the
 date or the login and password there, grep it out  yourself.   If  you  can't
 stand the format the list is in, the raw database is available from pilot and
 you can write your own format program.

      For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but  do  have  mail,  I  have
 included  the  mail  address  of  an archive that will retrieve files for you
 through the mail.  Send "help" in a message to the server  to  find  out  the
 exact commands necessary.

 The only mail-ftp archive I know of is:

         bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (most well-known)

 Please don't ask me how to use it, as it can explain  itself  better  than  I
 can.

      Thanks,
         Jon Granrose

 REMINDER: Anonymous FTP is a privilege, not a right.  The site administrators
 for the sites listed below have made their systems available out of the good-
 ness  of  their hearts.  Please respect their wishes and restrict your FTPing
 to non-prime hours (1900 - 0600 hours local time  for  the  site).   This  is
 especially true for sites not in your country.  Please keep that in mind when
 you are FTPing.  None of us want to see sites start to close down  because  a
 few are being inconsiderate.
