FTP can be performed through the mail according to this excerpt from
the FTP list produced monthly at pilot.njin.net.  I have never used
it, but have been told it works wonders when FTP is unavailable.
This will allow you to use ANY FTP sites as I understand it.

      For those unfortunates who do not have ftp but  do  have  mail,  I  have
 included  the  mail  address  of  an archive that will retrieve files for you
 through the mail.  Send "help" in a message to the server  to  find  out  the
 exact commands necessary.

 The only mail-ftp archive I know of is:

         bitftp@pucc.princeton.edu (most well-known)

 Please don't ask me how to use it, as it can explain  itself  better  than  I
 can.

      Thanks,
