<tt>ftpmail</tt> is a service which allows you to obtain files from FTP
archive sites via Internet electronic mail. If you don't have direct
Internet access, but are able to send mail to the Internet (from a service
such as CompuServe, for example), <tt>ftpmail</tt> is a good way to get
files from FTP archive sites. Unfortunately, <tt>ftpmail</tt> can be
slow, especially when sending large jobs. Before attempting to download
large amounts of software using <tt>ftpmail</tt>, be sure that your
mail spool will be able to handle the incoming traffic. Many systems
keep quotas on incoming electronic mail, and may delete your account
if your mail exceeds this quota. Just use common sense.
<P>
<tt>sunsite.unc.edu</tt>, one of the major Linux FTP archive sites,
is home to an <tt>ftpmail</tt> server. To use this service, send
electronic mail to
<P><TT> ftpmail@sunsite.unc.edu
<P></TT>
with a message body containing only the word:
<P><TT> help
<P></TT>
This will send you back a list of <tt>ftpmail</tt> commands and a brief
tutorial on using the system.
<P>
For example, to get a listing of Linux
files found on <tt>sunsite.unc.edu</tt>, send mail to the above address
containing the text
<P><TT> open sunsite.unc.edu <BR>
cd /pub/Linux <BR>
dir <BR>
quit
<P></TT>
<P>
You may use the <tt>ftpmail</tt> service to connect to any FTP archive
site; you are not limited to <tt>sunsite.unc.edu</tt>. The next section lists
a number of Linux FTP archives.
