Pathnames of files "available" for either anonymous ftp or public uucp
with read (and occasionally write) and execute (search) permissions
on the remote host are frequently found a file "ls-lR" and "ls-tlR".
Sites with large public spool areas often have a compressed version
of the files as well, named with a ".Z" suffix. These are typically
two-thirds smaller and cost less to retrieve.

Look in any of the following places:

	/usr/spool/uucp
	/usr/spool/uucp/uucppublic
	/usr/spool/ftp
	/usr/spool/ftp/pub
