Commodore FTP Sites Listing -- Last update 6 Dec 2002 #4

Last Change/Update: 6 December 2002 =================== A +++ before an entry indicates that the entry is new, or has been updated, or has changed, since the last Listing. A --- before an entry indicates that the _prior_ entry was removed from the list, since the last Listing. =================== This is the list of FTP sites containing software and programs specific to the Commodore 64 and 128 computers, Vic-20, and the PET. URL addresses are also listed, for convenience. The original bi-monthly posting schedule is now in effect, and this FAQ should appear automatically on the 6th and 20th of each month. Please, if I'm off base, send E-mail with any corrections and updates. If you uncover a site not listed, tell me so that it can be added. If a site has closed or no longer carries CBM software, let me know and it will be deleted. I will only list FTP sites here, as there are now large numbers of web based archives and links to them as well and I don't want to be redundant. 0ld sk00l rUl3z and all that. ===== To use this list on a UNIX system, just type 'ftp <sitename>', where <sitename> is any of the Host or FTP sites listed below. Use 'anonymous' as your login, and your E-mail address for the password. Or, use the newer and easier, NcFTP. Type NcFTP <sitename>. If you find yourself at the FTP> or NcFTP> prompts, type OPEN <sitename>. You can change and list directories with 'cd' and 'dir', respectively, and download files to your system using 'get'. Be sure to specify either 'binary' if you are getting a program, or 'ascii' for a text file before you begin the download. ===== In addition to the sites listed below, which have CBM software, there are hundreds of other FTP sites on INet with interesting files covering every topic imaginable. Take some time to seek out and explore these other sites and their files too.
