RKBA archive: general information and anonymous ftp instructions.

The moderator of the firearms-politics mailing list, Karl Kleinpaste,
has agreed to set up an anonymous ftp archive directory for RKBA
related information.  This directory can be used for things like
articles by Kates, Wright, Tonso, Levinson, Supreme Court Decisions,
the RIA vs US decision, copies of legislation, and so on.  It's not
meant to be for the discussions that normally appear here.

So, in the future if you're looking for something check there first
and then ask here.

Instructions:

Short version for techies:

The site is godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu.  Place contributions into the
directory /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba.  The ftp commands
get, put, mget, or mput should work.  Give the command "type binary"
to be sure files are transferred correctly.  Your files will be moved
to the rkba directory.  To get a file use the commands get or mget.

I will maintain an index which you should get first to check if
the file you want to read or write already is archived.

Long version for non-techies:

In order for you to use this archive your computer must be on
the Internet.  To connect to the archive site run the command:

 ftp godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu

If that doesn't work try:

 ftp 128.2.250.253.

If that doesn't work you cannot use this archive.  If the ftp
command is successful you'll get this prompt asking you for a
login:
 Name (godiva.nectar.cs.cmu.edu:lvc):

Instead of lvc your initials will appear.  Answer this prompt with:

 ftp

Next you'll get this prompt asking your for your e-mail address:

 Guest login ok, send e-mail address as password:

I would enter:

 l.v.cipriani@att.com

You'll enter your own e-mail address.  You'll get these lines
or similar as output:

 Remote system is UNIX.
 Using binary mode to transfer files.

Next, the command prompt is printed:

 ftp>

If you do not get the line "Using binary mode to transfer files."
Run the command:

 type binary

Now you're logged in to the archive machine.  There are many
directories on this machine  but the two you are concerned with are

 /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba
and
 /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/incoming

There are subdirectories to the rkba directory, those are discussed below.

When you login to the system your directory is /usr0/anon.  To retreive
files first change your current directory to the rkba directory with
the command:

 cd /usr0/anon/pub/firearms/politics/rkba
or
 cd pub/firearms/politics/rkba
