Notes
|
||
=====
|
||
=== general format of entries
|
||
111.222.333.444 machine.site.domain {port} login: login_name (telnet)
|
||
111.222.333.444 machine.site.domain directory/files_of_interest (ftp)
|
||
mail server@site message: commands (mail)
|
||
111.222.333.444 server@site message: commands (mail)
|
||
111.222.333.444 finger person@machine.site.domain (finger)
|
||
(area code) phone number settings BBS_name (dial-up BBS)
|
||
|
||
111.222.333.444 is the IP number (Internet Protocol)
|
||
machine.site.domain is the DNS name corresponding to the IP number
|
||
{port} is a port number, where required, for telnet access (see below)
|
||
|
||
=== telnet
|
||
telnet allows you to log in to a remote machine as if you are connected to a
|
||
directly attached terminal. Allows realtime interactive sessions, browsing
|
||
through information, not usually file transfers unless kermit or some such is
|
||
enabled.
|
||
|
||
From your terminal prompt type:
|
||
|
||
telnet machine.site.domain {port}
|
||
|
||
At the login prompt put login_name (it is not given if none is required):
|
||
|
||
login: login_name
|
||
|
||
Some sites must be logged in from an actual Internet node rather than
|
||
something connected to one (like a PC connected with a SLIP link to a node).
|
||
|
||
telneting a port: (site name instead of IP# can be used)
|
||
telnet 128.235.1.10 2000
|
||
telnet 128.235.1.10..2000
|
||
telnet 128.235.1.10::2000
|
||
telnet 128.235.1.10/port=2000
|
||
|
||
=== ftp
|
||
ftp allows you to logon to a remote site and list and get (and put) files.
|
||
|
||
ftp machine.site.domain
|
||
login: anonymous (anonymous is usual public access name)
|
||
password: your_email_address (occasionally guest)(not required but preferred)
|
||
cd directory (usually pub/)
|
||
cd sub_directory (often self descriptive)
|
||
get README |more (more's README to your screen without actually getting file)
|
||
type binary (see below)
|
||
get file_of_interest (download file_of_interest)
|
||
|
||
To switch to binary mode for file transfers type at the ftp prompt:
|
||
|
||
bi (shortcut)
|
||
binary (often works)
|
||
type binary (usually works)
|
||
set file type binary (kermit format, sometimes works)
|
||
tenex (if remote host is vax)
|
||
|
||
Success is indicated by a message saying:
|
||
|
||
set to type I
|
||
|
||
or some such. During file transfer the mode (ascii, binary...) is usually
|
||
indicated. Some ftp sites perform automatic switching between modes.
|
||
|
||
=== remote ftp - Bitftp
|
||
Mail the following ftp script file to Bitftp@PUCC (bitnet) or
|
||
Bitftp@PUCC.Princeton.edu (Internet):
|
||
|
||
help (to get the bitftp help file)
|
||
ftp site.domain uuencode
|
||
user anonymous
|
||
<more commands> (eg. binary, ls, get file_name)
|
||
quit
|
||
|
||
=== remote ftp - DECwrl
|
||
Mail the following ftp script file to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com:
|
||
|
||
connect machine.site.domain (defaults to decwrl.dec.com)
|
||
get README.ftp (the help file @decwrl.dec.com)
|
||
<more commands> (eg. chdir <dir>, binary, ls, get file_name)
|
||
quit
|
||
|
||
=== mail
|
||
mail server@machine.site.domain site means send a mail message to that site
|
||
with the message as indicated on the first line, put each option on a new line
|
||
(subject: don't care, unless indicated). They usually take only a few minutes
|
||
to respond, and if you err they'll send messages explaining the problem, so
|
||
you can `chat' to them.
|
||
|
||
mail machine.site.domain
|
||
Subject: don't care(usually not read, or read as if it's part of the message)
|
||
help (usual for getting general help for that site)
|
||
send file (get the file; generic files are help & index)
|
||
quit (sometimes used to end a mail transaction)
|
||
|
||
=== finger
|
||
finger person@machine.site.domain displays a file (hopefully of some
|
||
useful information) that person has made available.
|
||
|
||
=== Usenet
|
||
usenet:newsgroup indicates the newsgroup readable on usenet news.
|
||
|
||
Usenet is the global news service that runs on many internet and other sites.
|
||
Mail is posted by you and me to specific newsgroups, and is read everywhere in
|
||
the world where that newsgroup is fed. See news.announce.newusers for a list
|
||
of all the newsgroups.
|
||
|
||
On unix boxes newsreaders are invoked with a command like nn (No News),
|
||
rn (read news), trn (threaded read news), or other such incantations. On
|
||
other systems, who knows? Many folks can't access news directly, but can get
|
||
on mailing lists often provided for this contingency. Get the list of lists
|
||
to see the mailing groups, and be aware of bitftp (bitnet users) or decwrl
|
||
(others) if you can't ftp directly (see both above).
|
||
|
||
=== Glossary
|
||
.gif gif (graphic interchange format) are encoded pictures
|
||
|
||
.ps postscript file preformatted for postscript printers and viewable on all
|
||
platforms with various viewers.
|
||
|
||
.tar unix tape archive format. To tar files on a PC get pdtar.zip from wustl
|
||
(see under random files above). To tar a bunch of file into file.tar:
|
||
|
||
tar cvf file.tar file1 file2 file3 ...
|
||
|
||
to untar the files:
|
||
|
||
tar xvf file.tar (tvf instead of xvf to just see the contents)
|
||
|
||
.tar.Z
|
||
On unix, filenames may contain numerous extensions. uncompress
|
||
file.tar.Z to generate file.tar, then untar file.tar to get the
|
||
contents.
|
||
|
||
.Z unix compression. To compress on a PC get comp430d.zip from wustl. To
|
||
compress a file type:
|
||
|
||
compress file (generates file.Z)
|
||
|
||
To uncompress a file.Z type:
|
||
|
||
uncompress file.Z (regenerates file)
|
||
|
||
{options}: nixpub.{short|long} means nixpub.short or nixpub.long

=== Feedback
|
||
This compendium has been growing over a few years of internet travelling, and
|
||
represents the minimum amount of information to the happy net wanderer. It
|
||
consists of sites of interest to me (which is why there is a section on
|
||
handheld computers), and hence includes sites of direct relevance to exploring
|
||
the net. I have tried all sites listed, but some not so recently.
|
||
I only discovered Scott Yanoff's internet services list a few weeks ago,
|
||
which has much overlap. I highly recommend getting it (see above under
|
||
Internet resource guides).
|
||
|
||
Another file I have been culturing for some years is Gateways, Keys to
|
||
the Matrix, (above) which is a good adjunct to this file. Also see John
|
||
Chew's internetworking guide (above).
|
||
|
||
Sites do change, and some I have trouble getting into are indicated
|
||
(nogo). Any corrections, additions, deletions and reorganizations please send
|
||
to me @:
