Apple FTP site opens
Mark B. Johnson
Apple Developer Technical Support is proud to offer a new service
to the Apple II and Macintosh development communities: Anonymous
FTP to an Apple Internet host loaded with the most up-to-date DTS
tools and documentation available.
FTP is the user interface to the ARPANET standard File Transfer
Protocol, and it allows you to transfer files to and from a remote
network site. To access and retrieve files from the Apple
archive, you should FTP to apple.apple.com (130.43.2.2) using
account:anonymous and password:guest. Once you logon, change
directories to pub/dts/ (cd pub/dts/) and get the README file (get
README) which explains the archive content and structure. If you
are unfamiliar with FTP or do not know if you site supports it,
use your on-line help or check with your local site administrator.
You will always find the most current Technical Notes and Sample
Code posted in the dts/ directory, as well as other documents or
materials relevant to development on an Apple platform.
Look in the help/ directory for a current list of all the archived
files (dir-yy-mm-dd) and a list of the most recent additions
(recent-yy-mm-dd). The following is a basic outline of the
directory structure and the contents of the archive:
README - General info about content and structure
aii - Apple II information
tn - Apple II Technical Notes
ftn - Apple II File Type Notes
sc - Apple II Sample Code
help - Helpful info about these directories
dir-YY-MM-DD - Directory of all files in the dts/ directory
recent-YY-MM-DD - Directory of all files added within 14 days
mac - Macintosh information
docs - Macintosh Technical Documentation
hacks - Useful, unsupported hacks
mpw - Current MPW Interface files
q+a - Macintosh Q & A Stack
sc - Macintosh Sample Code
sys.soft - System Software information
tn - Macintosh Technical Notes
press - Apple Press Releases
Tools and utilities sold by APDA (e.g., ResEdit, etc.) are not
available from this archive due to licensing restrictions. In the
future, if we can make these sorts of tools available and still
please our attorneys, we will.
This service is long overdue, and we thank the many volunteers on
the networks who maintain other archives and make Apple's tools
and documentation available to the masses. If you normally get
your files from these other sites, you should be able to continue
doing so, as we are working with these people to make sure that
their files are updated on a much more timely basis than in the
past.
This archive site is just a small effort in Apple's attempts to
provide our developers with the best tools and developer technical
support in the industry, and we are very interested in your
feedback. Please send comments and suggestions to us at one of
the addresses listed below.
Thanks for your suggestions and patience in making this archive
site reality. Special thanks to Erik Fair of Apple Engineering
Computer Operations; Lance Nakata, Bill Lipa, and Jon Pugh of
Info-Mac and SUMEX; and Werner Uhrig of the University of Texas.

Awesome, dude!
Seriously, this looks to be a major increase in support for Mac/Apple
developers. Thanks!

I tried it and apparently it expects 'ident' as the password.

FTP site. You must use your local FTP program to connect with the remote
FTP server. Anonymous FTP accounts work only with FTP and no other Internet
connections.

Again, I'm sorry if this is going to cause repitition, but what is FTP. I'm
on bitnet, and I haven't heard of it over on this net.

The reason why you havent heard about it on bitnet is because bitnet does not
support remote login as other nets do. FTP is *F*ile *T*ransmission *P*roticol
(or program, whichever you prefer) It is a means of transfering files over
Internet.

How about extending the capability to those of us without FTP (Internet)
access? Semi-anonymous UUCP would be "like mega awesome, Duuuude!!!"
(had to happen, didn't it? Do 'em a favor, they ask for more :-))

'ftp' = file transfer protocol (a feature of TCP/IP). BITNET is RSCS
and doesn't have 'ftp' :-( (UUCP is even worse).
