"ANONYMOUS" FTP FILE SERVERS
Updated 3/25/92
The following stations have files available on-line for anonymous FTP. To
access these servers, establish an FTP session using the user name
"anonymous" and your call sign as the password. Then, browse, copy files,
and enjoy!
Host Name: switch.bedford.ampr.org
Sysop: DoC Willard, W1EO
For info, contact: w1eo%wa1phy@switch.bedford.ampr.org
WA1PHY is located at MITRE in Bedford. It's well-known as a packet bbs
(see the listing for "bbs.wa1phy" under "Gateways") and actually is a
complex node with two different computers. The host "wa1phy.ampr.org"
contains an extensive set of files available for FTP. They cover a variety
of subjects of interest to TCP operators.
Host Name: wa1lou.ampr.org
Sysop: Stan Horzepa, WA1LOU
For info, contact: wa1lou@wa1lou.ampr.org
Stan has on-line copies of his recent ARRL packet radio columns--Packet
Perspective (from QST) and Gateway (from QEX). He also has public
domain Macintosh ham radio software.
Host Name: ka1as.ampr.org
Sysop: Al Bolduc, KA1AS
For info, contact: ka1as@ka1as.ampr.org
KA1AS has a large amount of information available for ftp. In
particular, Al maintains both the TCP-Group Digests and the RFCs.
TCP-Group Digest is an Internet mail distribution used by NOS and
NET developers. RFCs (Requests for Comments) serve as the "specs"
for the various protocols in the TCP/IP suite.
KA1AS also has the current NASA element sets. The file "nasa.pre"
has the elements in NASA two-line format. The file "nasa.for"
describes the format.
Host Name: ka8scp.ampr.org
Sysop: Terry Stader, KA8SCP
For info, contact: ka8scp@ka8scp.ampr.org
Terry's public folder contains a variety of files.... the most recent
AMSAT and ARRL news, propagation bulletins as well as Sweden Calling
DX (SCDX) newsletters will be posted there as they become available.
Terry also carries the last month's worth of digests from the
Info-Ham, Ham-Policy, and TCP-Group Internet distributions, as well as
KD2BD's SpaceNews files. There is a whole collection of data about the
Armed Forces of each of the countries in the Middle East in the
MidEast directory. Many other files of interest... Massachusetts
public safety freqs as well as an Introduction to Shortwave Listening.
Please feel free to send Terry mail about the worthiness of this
section, or related files that you would like him to archive for you.
Terry had been carrying a number of Macintosh files and programs. These
have temporarily been removed due to backoff problems on file transfers.
Host Name: switch.centma.ampr.org
Sysop: Don Hughes, KA1MF
For info, contact: ka1mf@ka1mf.ampr.org
Don is the IP address coordinator for eastern, southeastern, and
central Massachusetts. He maintains the current HOSTS and DOMAIN
files at all times in the \public directory at the switch.centma node.
The files are stored in "zip" format (which requires an "unzip"
program to decompress). In addition, there are a number of TCP/IP
documentation files available and usually one or more versions of NOS.
Host Name: wa1equ.ampr.org
Sysop: Rich Vitello, WA1EQU
For info, contact: wa1equ@wa1equ.ampr.org
Rich maintains a number of files on his system, among them the info
published daily on the Internet's TCP-Group distribution. Rich has
this data, in his \public\news directory, going back 3.5 years! If
you want to get a perspective on how NOS and NET evolved, it makes for
very interesting reading.
Rich has a separate directory for software for each type of PC for
which KA9Q software is available. Look for the IBM NOS & NET
subdirectories, as well as Amiga, MAC, Atari, and MSYS and UNIX.
There's also a version of NOS for OS/2. (The MAC subdirectory just
has "where-to-get-it" information.)
But, there's more: Rich also maintains a "PROMS" subdiectory which has
the actual prom kiss codes for both the tnc1 & tnc2. In his MISC
sub-directory you'll find everything from radio mods to a zipped up file
of TCP/IP experiments/conversations he conducted on HF! And he also has a
lot of NE TCPer files and back issues available.
This all totals more than 5 Megabytes dedicated to TCP/IP!
