Asalamulaikum,
There has been some interest in accessing Caltech's ftp site, but
some of you have found it hard to do. This is a short primer on the
site and how to access it.
C A L T E C H M U S L I M S S T U D E N T S
=================================================
Dated: January 30, 1994
Caltech Muslim Students Group offers number of files on its
ftp server. These files have been extracted from different
forums and are in compressed (in UNIX) format.
Asim Mughal (mughal@alumni.Caltech.Edu)
Asif Khalak (asif@romeo.caltech.edu)
____________________________________________________________________________
Primer on getting documents from the Caltech MSA ftp site.
1. To access the site, you should log into a UNIX account. If you
don't have one, get one. The reason that UNIX is preferred is that it
is currently the operating system of choice in academic spheres which
are capable of using ftp. The other reason that UNIX is used is that
efficient data compression routines are standardly packaged with UNIX,
and we can thus pack more information into the limited space that we
are allocated for the site.
2. The next step is to run ftp (stands for File Transfer
Protocol). The information is stored at punisher.caltech.edu (this is
called the location of the site). To do this type the following at
the command prompt:
% ftp punisher.caltech.edu
Alternatively, you can start up ftp and go to punisher within it, like
this:
% ftp
ftp> open punisher.caltech.edu
Note that the "ftp>" is a prompt provided by the ftp program.
3. At this point ftp will ask for a name. The information is public,
so you'll want to use anonymous ftp. That is, at the name prompt,
type anonymous.
Name: anonymous
4. Then ftp will say it's okay, but you need to send identification as
the password. This means that when it asks you for a password, you
type in your e-mail address.
Password: (for example: mughal@caltech.edu)
5. Now you are in the Caltech system. The next step is to get to the
Muslim Student's association directory. The full name of the
directory is /home/ftp/pub/calmsa. However, you are placed into the
/home/ftp directory when you get in. To get to the msa directory,
then, type:
ftp> cd pub/calmsa
Note, the on-line Quran translation is located in a subdirectory of
the calmsa directory named Quran. To get into it, use "cd Quran".
Also, you can use the command "ls", as in UNIX, to list the files in
the directory that you are currently in.
6. At this point you can retrieve files. Things go more quickly if
you are in binary mode. Thus, you tell ftp,
ftp> mode bin
7. To get a file, you simply use the command get. For example,
ftp> get thefileIwant.Z
A list of files with brief descriptions is located in the file README.
It is NOT compressed, so you can simply read it.
8. Notice that the file from get has a .Z extension. This is because
it is compressed. To uncompress it, you need to get out of ftp. The
command is "bye". At the command line, the command to uncompress,
surprisingly enough, is "uncompress"
ftp> bye
% uncompress thefileIwant
9. Now you can print the file, more it, whatever...
