FTP access is only available on Janet. To get stuff from outside
Janet (ie Internet), you will have to use the archive request
server.
This is also normally available only on Janet; what you'll have to
do is mail pds...@pdsoft.lancs.ac.uk and ask to be registered
to use it. Then, to get full information on how to use it, mail
a message saying
help
to archive...@pdsoft.lancs.ac.uk

No, please don't mail and ask us to be registered! I'm afraid we exist to
serve only the UK Academic Community, and if your host system is not in the
uk.ac name domain then you can't use us. Users in uk.ac domain can use the
archive without registration.
The material on this archive is mostly derived from US archives accessible
on the Internet and from USENET groups, so you can get most of it anyway.
