Hello Everyone:
Cornell has generously donated some disk space for an FTP
site for the purpose of distributing information having
to do with Native Americans and Native American issues.
An FTP site is a place where we can store files (text and
binary files) for you to pick up at your convenience. Almost
all mainframe support FTP (file transfer protocol). To logon,
type
ftp ftp.cit.cornell.edu
You will be asked for a name: type
anonymous
You will be asked for a password: type
guest
[This is the method to get on most anonymous FTP sites.]
Then you need to get to the proper directory: type
cd pub/special/NativeProfs/usenet [case matters!]
And you are in.
Right now, all I have in there is the Charter for this newsgroup.
To get your own copy, type
get charter
When more stuff is there, type "dir" to see what's there.
In the near future, I hope to have a place where we can keep
the Frequently Asked Questions file, a place where we can keep
important posts that someone might need later, and an archive
of soc.culture.native posts, either in one file or in some other
format. I can put other stuff in there as well: electronic
newsletters and so forth. The sky is not the limit on disk
space, however, so I probably won't be putting in Native
American graphic art, which is disk-space intensive.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions about how
best to employ this FTP site.
Best,
Mike
