Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Status: RO Thanks to my wife, who has 57Gb free on the hard drive of her Win2K PC, we now have an FTP area for uploads for the History Project. Connect to "ftp.gtoal.com" using FTP - username ftp or anonymous - no password needed, although it's polite to give your email address. cd to /uploads You will be able to see the names of files in that directory but you will not be able to fetch any files from it. (I will be manually transferring uploads from here to our web site) You will however be able to put files *to* it, and to create sub-directories under it (using the mkdir command). I chose to set it up this way so that if the info about the site's existence spreads past our little trustworthy group, it won't be abused by warez pirates or mp3 hounds - people who like to upload to public ftp sites then tell their friends where they can go to download stuff from. This is an upload-only site - no downloads. so if anyone does upload any junk, it'll be a nice present for me, but not for the friends that they intended it for :-) Please start sending your goodies. If you want to create subdirectories under your name to keep things organised, you're welcome to. Or you can create subdirectories with appropriate names like 'compilers' or whatever - it's entirely open for you. It would be very helpful if you also mailed to thelist (or me directly) with a description or just a list of what you uploaded. Uploads should be relatively fast; I have a 1.1Mb SDSL to my ISP, who has a T1 to the net. The T1 may be loaded to some extent during the US peak times but probably it will be very fast during the periods that most UK people are free to do this sort of stuff. I don't forsee net bandwidth being a limiting factor. Thank you everyone for contributing! Graham ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~-~> eGroups is now Yahoo!
