"getit" is a short C program which uses anonymous FTP to retrieve a file specified on the command line. To use it, run getit as: getit host:path/file -or- getit path/file@host -or- getit ftp://host/path/file (That's the URC format used by World Wide Web) For example, this file is available via anonymous FTP using getit contrib/getit.tar.Z@export.lcs.mit.edu which can also be written as getit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/getit.tar.Z or as getit ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib/getit.tar.Z "lsit" is a short C program which uses anonymous FTP to list the directory specified on the command line. To use it, run lsit as: lsit host[:path[/file]] -or- lsit [path[/file]]@host -or- lsit ftp://host[/path[/file]] (That's the URC format used by World Wide Web) The "file" name can contain a wildcard character, '*'. For example, to list the contrib directory on export.lcs.mit.edu: lsit contrib@export.lcs.mit.edu which can also be written as lsit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/\* or as lsit ftp://export.lcs.mit.edu/contrib To list only the "getit" files in the contrib directory on export.lcs.mit.edu: lsit export.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/getit\* (You'll need to quote the wildcard to prevent your local UNIX system from globbing it.) To "make" the UNIX version of lsit, simply use "cc -o lsit lsit.c" Ken Jenks Space Shuttle Program Office NASA Lyndon B.
