FTP programs vary from system to system; contact your local
system support staff for instructions on anonymous FTP. Note
that because of simtel20's popular archives, sun.soe.clarkson.edu
is generally easier to connect to via anonymous FTP.

To get the "login:" prompt, you may have to send a BREAK. New
users should download 00readme.bbs from the root directory.


Anonymous Kermit

Anonymous Kermit

To retrieve UUPC/extended via Kermit, you must have a Kermit
program which can issue the GET and FINISH commands to a Kermit
server.

1. Set your Kermit to:

Maximum packet size (optional, but important)
Two windows (optional)
Three byte checksum (optional)
1200 or 2400 baud
No parity
^S/^Q flow control

2. Call 1-617-641-4817 between 9 AM and 5:30 PM weekdays, or
any night between 11:30 PM and 6 AM (All times are Eastern).
At all other times, the system will reject your call.

3. After connect, press ENTER and kewgate's "login:" prompt
will appear. Enter the user id "anonymous"and press ENTER.

4. The "password:" prompt will appear. Enter the password,
"ribbit", and press ENTER.

Note:
Note:
Note: Both the user id and password are case sensitive, and
you cannot backspace when typing them in. If you make
an error then press ENTER until you get the "login:"
prompt again and start over.

5. A short hello message will appear, and then MS-Kermit will
await your command. Escape to your local command mode, and
then issue a GET for one or more of the files listed below.

Note:
Note:
Note: If your Kermit program cannot issue a directory
command, retrieve the file INDEX for a current list of
the available files. The INDEX lists files in both in
the current directory and its subdirectories; Kermit,
however, will not be able to retrieve files from the
subdirectories. (Any files in subdirectories are
accessible via anonymous UUCP, described below.)

6. When done, issue the FINISH command to shutdown the Kermit
server. DO NOT just hang up your telephone, because then
you will hang up kewgate until it times out, which is not
critical but is unkind since now you know better.

The files available on kewgate can also be downloaded via
anonymous UUCP. To use anonymous UUCP, define entries for the
system kewgate in your SYSTEMS file and PERMISSN file. The
SYSTEMS file entry should define the phone number as 1-617-641-
4817, the user id as "nuucp", and the password as "nuucp".
kewgate accepts anonymous UUCP phone calls between midnight and 5
AM any night, and between 10 AM and 4 PM weekdays. All times are
Eastern.

Note:
Note:
Note: Beginning with release 1.11m of UUPC/extended, the
sample systems file in the documentation archive
includes a sample entry for kewgate.

The files are located in the home directory for nuucp, so files
should be requested via the UUCP command with the syntax
~nuucp/filename. For example, to retrieve the index for the
archive to your local /tmp directory, issue the command:

uucp kewgate!~/nuucp/index /tmp/

The UUCICO program must then be invoked to actually process the
request. Users should retrieve the file index first, and then
issue additional requests for the actual files wanted based on
the current directory listing.
