Internet Resource Directory, Part 3:

File Archives (FTP Sites)  of Interest to Educators

version 1:  July 7, 1992

The information in this file is the result of Internet "prospecting" and 
teamwork by 24 eastern Nebraska teachers who were enrolled in a graduate 
telecomputing-in-education course during the Spring 1992 semester at the 
University of Nebraska at Omaha.  Much of their work for the course entailed 
exploring different Internet resource sites, then writing, fieldtesting, and 
revising friendly documentation describing online resources that they felt 
to be of value to K-12 teachers and/or students.

Below please find information on several Internet file archives.  **This is NOT 
meant to be an exhaustive list of all of the archives of use to K-12 
educators**; rather, it is a beginning of what we hope will be an ongoing 
collaborative effort among telecomputing educators on a larger scale.  
We invite you to use this, share it with other teachers, amend it, append 
to it, and update it.  We hope that the information that it contains will 
be useful to you.

FTP SITE NAME:	Computers and Academic Freedom Archive

INTERNET ADDRESSES:	ftp.eff.org
     					192.88.144.4

LOGIN PROCEDURE:
     1.  ftp to 191.88.144.4
     2.  Once connected you will see- -
         Connection Opened
         Using 8-bit bytes
         220 kragar FTP server (Version 6.9 the date) ready.
         Name (kragar.eff.org:FF004):
         Type in Anonymous at the :
     3.  Now you will see- -
         331 Guest login ok, send e-mail address as password.
         Password:
         Type your address for the password.
     4.  The screen will now give you some general
         information about this FTP site.
         Ending with- -
         230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
         * or ftp
     5.  At the * or ftp prompt type dir.
         You will see - -
         200 PORT command successful.
         150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
     6.  There will now be a list of files for you to
         explore. Continue to use the cd (change directory),
         the cdup (go back to the previous directory), and
         the dir commands at the * or ftp prompt until you arrive at
         a file you wish to transfer.

RECOMMENDED FILES:
     The cd pub directory has several choices of
subdirectories that might be of interest to educators.
cd pub/EFF
cd pub/academic
cd pub/journals
cd pub/legal
     Within these directories there can also be more
subdirectories.  If there is a README  in any of these you
may wish to transfer that file to your account.  The README
file in cd pub/academic for instance gave a brief description
of all of the subdirectories contained in the directory of
academic.

NOTES:
     The README file in the initial directory did not contain
much useful information.  It basically says that most of the
files have been moved to the "pub" directory.
     You may transfer the pub/EFF/EFF.about file without
changing directories and actually finding the file.  This was
suggested in one of the items in the introduction that was
given when you first logged into this site.  Type get
pub/EFF/EFF.about at the * or ftp prompt and then download
it from your file.  It is caps specific.  This will give you
information explaining the purposes of the Electronic
Frontier Foundation.  It seems to be a very politically
active group.

ABOUT GenBank

This ftp site contains many shareware and freeware programs
available for downloading.  The directories are are divided
by machine operating systems.  For instance, all available
IBM programs are in the directory  "dos".  MacIntosh programs are listed under 
the directory  "mac". There are also directories for unix, vms, and databases.  
The only possible drawback is that nearly all files are compressed.
Some files will open only through specific decompression
programs, such as "Stuffit" for the Mac, or "UUDECODE" in
the DOS directory.  Many types of files are represented here.  
Everything from
antiviral programs to genetic hypercard stacks are free for
the taking and decoding.  Any educator, but especially
science folk can benefit from a number of these files.

HELPFUL HINT:  Get and read the file README in each directory or 
subdirectory.  These files contain descriptions
of the other files listed within.  It can save time and
avoid later frustraton.

EXAMPLE OF A DIRECTORY SEARCH:

At the *  TYPE dir (This will put you at the main directory)

At the *  TYPE  cd pub (This will put you at the public
                        directory)

At the *  TYPE dir  (This is the directory where you choose
                     the next dir by virtue of the machine
                     operating system files required.)
                      
                     NOTE:  File names are upper and lower 
                            case sensitive.  Please type
                            file names exactly as written.

EXAMPLES OF SUBDIRECTORY SEARCHES:

Follow above directions then continue with the directions
listed below.

Search 1:

At the * TYPE  cd mac
At the * TYPE  dir
At the * TYPE  cd antiviral
At the * TYPE  dir
At the * TYPE  get interferon31.hqx
This is a compressed file for the antiviral program interferon31.  Once it is in 
your possession,  you may install it on your hard drive.

Search 2:

At the *  TYPE  cd mac
At the *  TYPE  dir
At the *  TYPE  get enzymekinetics.hqx

Once this file is decompressed, it will show that it is a Hypercard stack for 
MacIntosh computers.  It calculates and plots the biochemical values for the 
kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions.

Search 3:

At the * TYPE  cd dos 
At the * TYPE  dir
At the * TYPE  cd mskermit
At the * TYPE  get kermit

At the * type: get and the filename  

For example if you wanted the causes for 1775.us, you
would type: get causes for 1775.us
Search 2

At the ftp>  type    dir          There are 7 selections here
        "      "     cd docs      CRD (change working direction
                                  appears when using cd command
        "      "     dir

        "      "     cd songs
                              
This file contains two catagories of sings to select from,
W.W.I and Vietnam.  Type   get vietnam.songs  


NOTES:

A complete set of commands explaining this ftp is given in the
netuse subdirectory under ftp.info.  Go to this sub-subdirectory 
and download the information first.

Using the ch <space>.. command will allow you to travel back
to the previous subdirectory

For example, after retreiving e-documents you would
at the * Type: chdirup

Then at the * Type: dir
and you would be back at the main subdirectory of nineteen
topics.

===>Depending on the site, teachers/students will see either a * 
or an ftp>.

SUBDIRECTORY NAMES CONTAINING INFORMATION OF INTEREST TO 
EDUCATORS:

In some cases, the archive files and programs are stored here only as  BINARY 
files.  This means you must set your transmission software to transfer a full 
8-bit bytenary".   See below list of file suffixes to tell which are in binary format.

Most or all Macintosh files have been converted to .HQX format, or BinHex.  This 
is an ascii (text) encoded form that requires Stuffit, BinHex 4.0 or other 
programs to decode this format.

Some Macintosh programs may be stored in "MacBinary" format, which is 
binary and adds file system information at the start of the program.  Many of the 
archives and any of the .DOC, .TXT or .README files are in Ascii (plain text) 
format, suitable for transfer with a default Ascii method, or via e-mail programs.  
The encoded programs (require that you have a decoder on your computer.
These are for
  Macintosh  .HQX  [Archive.Util.Mac]BinHex.*
  MSDOS  .UUE  [Archive.Util.IBMPC]UUDecode.Bas, *.C
  VMS    .UUE  [Archive.Util.VMS.U----------

TEXT (ascii) File formats
----
.DOC     Plain text documentation
.TXT     Plain text documentation
.README  Plain text documentation

.HQX     Macintosh BinHex encoded file
.UUE
.SEQ     sequence data, usually nucleic acids (text)
.PEP     amino acid sequence data (text)
.AA      amino acid sequence data (text)

BINARY File formats (requires ftp binary command before trd files (MS_Dos, 
	Unix, VMS, others)
.TAR    Unix archived files
.Z      Unix compressed file
.TAR.Z  Unix archived + compressed file
.BCK    VMS Backup archive
.SIT    Macintosh archive

RECOMMENDED FILES:   
Molecular biology is the area of concentration, and it is also a home for 
Drosophila research data.  It will include software for Macintosh, VAX-VMS, 
Unix, MS-DOS and any other important computer operating systems. Access to 
the archive is via anonymous FTP (file transfer protocol) programs that connect 
to computers on the Internet.

FTP SITE NAME:      	Ohio-State Education Archives

INTERNET ADDRESS:  	archive.cis.ohio-state.edu

LOGIN PROCEDURE:  
	1)  FTP archive.cis.ohio-state.edu
	2)  At the Name(archive.cis.ohio-state.edu:   ): prompt type in 
		ANONYMOUS
	3)  At the Password prompt type in your internet address
	4) To view the main directory, at the * prompt type: DIR
	(***NOTE*** the * prompt may be a ftp> prompt on your system)
SUBDIRECTORY NAMES CONTAINING INFORMATION OF INTEREST TO 
EDUCATORS:
	The choices for the main menu are shown below:
		1) bin
		2) dev
		3) etc
		4) mnt
		5) netinfo 
		6) pub
		7) usr
	
	Of the main menu choices that are available, netinfo, mnt,
and pub all contain files that can be accessed by 'visitors'.  
	NETINFO contains four files which contain information about 
the Ohio State site.  
	The MNT subdirectory contained three submenus.  Of these three
 submenus that are available, the only one I found to 
be useful was the EXTRA-FTP menu.  This menu allowed 
access to a directory called LISP-MANUAL.  This contained a 
chapter by chapter LISP programming language manual in
compressed form (.Z files).  Anyone who is interested in artificial 
intelligence may be able to use the information contained in these 
documents.
	The PUB subdirectory contained about 100 subdirectories.  
Of these subdirectories, I explored about twenty of them.   The 
information that I found was always in compressed form.  When
I tried to GET the files, the screen showed that the operation was
'aborted'.  However, when I checked my account on Zeus, parts of the
files had been transferred.  When I tried to decompress them, I 
ended up with a bunch of garbage.  The file names are generally
nondescriptive.  (For example, the subdirectory in firearms contains
files named m.f-001 through m.f-100.)  

RECOMMENDED FILES:
 	The one file I was able to get that was interesting was 
located in the BIBLIOGRAPHY subdirectory.  The name
of the file was BIBLIO.  It contained a bibliography consisting of
hundreds of computer science books that can be located in libraries
across the United States.  

NOTES:
	Overall, I don't think this is a good ftp site.  It is quite difficult
to decipher what may be in files.  I also encountered problems 
downloading the compressed files.  Since 95% of the files are
compressed, the site was quite disappointing.

FTP SITE NAME:  		SpaceMet Internet

INTERNET ADDRESSES:  	SpaceMet.phast.umass.edu
                     				128.119.50.48 
  Note: You may have to try these two addresses listed above
        several times in a row before you get a connection.

                     				137.48.1.5
  Note:  This address seems to allow for a connection almost
         all of the time.

LOGIN PROCEDURE:  
You must type in the ftp address and establish a connection.  
Example given below.
                 ftp 137.48.1.5
 
  You will see: trying 137.48.1.5
                 Connection opened
                 Using 8-bit bytes
                 FTP Server
                 Name (137.48.1.5: Your Name): 
            
   You type:     following the : you will type the word anonymous

   You will see: Guest login ok, send ident as password
                 Password:

   You type:     Following the word Password: you will type your
                 bitnet or internet address

                 example  Password: Smith@unoma1

   You will see: Guest login ok, access restrictions apply

                 You are now ready to begin exploring the ftp
   site.  The first thing you see is a *.  On some systems this
   * prompt will appear as ftp> or a different set of charac-
   ters.  At the sign type"dir" with no " " marks.  This will get
   you into the first main directory.  The main directory looks
   like the following:

                    bin
                    etc
                    lost+found
                    nusef
                    public

RECOMMENDED FILES:   
   A common directory to explore at an
   ftp site is the one labeled public. There is a very long
   list of subdirectories here. This is the largest directory
   at this site.  However, a lot of the files ended in Z or tar
   and these files are more difficult to download.  Files ending
   in .Z or .tar or .cpx must be downloaded as binary format and
   then decoded with software that may be available with your
   internet account.  This directory was a disappointment.

   Another main directory we explored was nusef with a
   subdirectory of nusef.doc.  To read this file follow the
   sequence  below.

                    *cd nusef
                    *dir
                    *get nusef.doc

   This file contains the statement of purpose for Nebraska
   University Students for Electronic Freedom.  There is an
   interesting section here on the right to privacy and the right
   to freedom of speech.  It is very much related to our
   discussion of "flaming".  Older students might be interested
   in reading it and discussing their feelings about the
   statements.
              
NOTES:  
   The last directory that we were particularly interested
   in was bin. A subdirectory was listed as ls.  We have been
   searching this ftp site for a set of valuable lesson plans
   located through the telnet site of SpaceMet.  These lessons
   contain complete plans for Grades 1-12 on a variety of space
   topics such as food, clothing, living, and health in space.
   We were impressed with the activities suggested and found them
   very appropriate for each grade level.  We really think this
   is where they might be located, but unfortunately when we tap
   into the ls file we get a (Permission denied) message.  What a
   shame.  We really would like to know what is contained there.

   You can download these lesson plans from the telnet site.
   Directions are given to do so in the main menu.
 
   We also found some difficulty distinguishing between "l" and
   "1".  If you interchange them, you get error messages. Be sure
   to look carefully at all directory, subdirectory, and/or file
   names.

   We found the command of chdirup or chdirdown to be very
   useful.  It means change directory up/down.  It allows you to
   view directories ahead or behind without exiting and then
   reentering the site.

   We found this site to be much more useful as a telnet site
   than as an ftp site.  It all depends on what you are looking
   for.
