SC DIRECTORY
********* WARNING ********** Many of the script files will only work
under 2.0 ... sorry, you will have to adapt them if you are running under
1.3, I do not have the time.
The SC directory contains script files that may be of use to AmigaUUCP
users:
UUCed useful for CED users to run CED properly
UUShell useful when run via a passwd entry (remote login)
start-dmail useful when run by AnyMail
Additionally, it is possible to access internet FTP sites via email
by going through princeton's BITFTP server. The first thing to do
is to get instructions. To do so you must send a HELP request to
the server. The RHELP script will do this for you.
1> rhelp
and type 'n' (for no) or 'y' (for yes). 'y'es sends the mail, 'n'o
aborts it.
If princeton responds within a few days, then it was able to construct a
return path to your node. If it never responds, then it was unable to do
so. You can try fooling around by adding a 'Reply-To:' header but if you
are not well connected you may have to register for a full domain entry
(.US for people in the us) before it will work.
If you get a response, several scripts already exist to help you on
your way:
rlsuu [dir0 ... dir5]
rlsab [dir0 ... dir5]
rls host dir0 ... dir5
rgetuu [CD directory] file0 ... fileN
rgetab [CD directory] file0 ... fileN
Essentially, RLSUU and RLSAB both call RLS with uunet.uu.net and
ab20.larc.nasa.gov as the host arguments. If no directory is specified,
RLSUU and RLSAB will request a top level directory. Any response will
be returned to UUMAIL:BITFTP-RET
RGETUU and RGETAB both call RGET with the appropriate host names, and
the specified files are requested. Any response from princeton will
be returned to UUMAIL:BITFTP-RET. These commands have an optional CD
argument which will CD to a given remote directory before GETing the
files.
Example:
1> rlsuu
1> rgetuu amiga-sources/dillon/TEST
