People who don't have access to anonymous FTP can do FTP-by-mail, a
public service operated by DEC.  Send a message containing the single
word "help" to "ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com" for instructions.

That's right!!  You no longer need FTP access to get at files on
anonymous FTP servers.  Using FTP-Mail and the kindness of Digital
Equipment Corp., you send a request script to the DEC server machine,
and it fetches the files for you and mails them to your electronic
mail doorstop!  Try it, it works!  FTP-Mail will even ASCII-encode and
compress binary files upon request.


If you are interested in Media Lab robotics stuff:

The name of our FTP server (this will be required by FTPMAIL) is
"cherupakha.media.mit.edu".  You probably will want to start your
queries by retrieving the file named "allfiles.ftp", which is at the
top-level directory of our FTP server.  This file is a recursive
directory listing of all files on the server.

Enjoy!
