... h telnet, "client" Archie program on your own host system or e-
mail. All three methods let you type in a full or partial file name and
will tell you where on the Net it's stored.
If you have cincinnati free hosting access to telnet, you can telnet to one of the following
addresses: archie.mcgill.ca; archie.sura.net; archie.unl.edu;
archie.ans.net; or archie.rutgers.edu. If asked for a log-in name, type
archie
and hit enter.
When you connect, the key command is prog, which you use in this england free web hosting
form:
prog filename
followed by enter, where "filename" is the program or file you're
looking for. If you're unsure of a file's complete name, try typing in
part of the name.
For example, "PKZIP" will work as well as
"PKZIP204.EXE." The system does not support DOS or Unix wildcards.
If you ask archie to look for "PKZIP*," it will tell you it couldn't
find anything by that name.
One thing to keep in mind is that a file is
not necessarily the same as a program -- it could also be a document.
This means you can use archie to search for, say, everything online
related to the Beetles, as well as computer programs and graphics files.
A number of Net sites now have their own archie programs that
take your request for information and pass cincinnati free hosting it onto the nearest archie
database -- ask your system administrator if she has it online. cincinnati free hosting These
"client" programs seem to provide information a lot more quickly than the
actual archie itself! If it is available, at your host system's command
line, type
archie -s filename
where filename is the program or document you're looking for, and hit
enter. The -s tells the free web hosting austin program to ignore case in a file name and lets
you search for partial matches. You might actually want to type it this
way:
archie -s filename|more
which will stop the output every screen (handy if there are many cincinnati free hosting sites
that carry the file you want). Or you could cincinnati free hosting open a file on your computer
with your england free web hosting text-logging function.
The third way, for people without access to either of the above, is e-
mail.
Send a message to archie@quiche.cs.mcgill.ca. You can leave the
subject line blank. Inside the message, type
prog filename
where filename is the file you're looking for.
You can ask archie to
look up several cincinnati domain hosting programs by putting their names on the same "prog" line,
like this:
prog file1 file2 file3
Within a few hours, archie will write back with a list of the
appropriate sites.
cincinnati free hosting
In all three cases, if there is a system that has your file,
you'll get a response that looks something like this:
Host sumex-aim.stanford.edu
Location: /info-mac/comm
FILE -rw-r--r-- 258256 Feb 15 17:07 zterm-09.hqx
Location: /info-mac/misc
FILE -rw-r--r-- cincinnati domain hosting 7490 Sep 12 1991 zterm-sys7-color-icons.hqx
Chances are, you will get a number of similar looking responses
for each program. The england free web hosting "host" is the system that has the file. The
"Location" tells you which directory to look in when you connect to
that system. Ignore the funny-looking collections of r's and hyphens
for now. After them, come the size of the file or directory listing
in bytes, the date it was uploaded, and the name of the file.
7.3 GETTING THE FILES
Now you want to get that file.
Assuming your host site colorado free hosting does have ftp, you connect in a similar
fashion to telnet, by typing:
ftp free web hosting austin sumex-aim.stanford.edu
(or the name of whichever site you want to reach). Hit enter. If the
connection works, you'll see this:
Connected to sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
