2.3: What are the NCGIA anon ftp sites and what can be found there?
From: Karen Kemp <kemp@ncgia.UCSB.EDU>
The National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) has a
publicly available ftp site as well as a WWW homepage which points at the
ftp site.
ftp address:
ftp.ncgia.ucsb.edu
WWW address:
http://www.ncgia.ucsb.edu
If the Santa Barbara site is unavailable, this site is mirrored at the
other two NCGIA centers:
University of Maine: grouse.umesve.maine.edu in the pub/NCGIA/UCSB directory
SUNY Buffalo: ncgia.geog.buffalo.edu
As of January 1995, about 30% of the pre-1995 technical report series are
available through ftp. New reports will be added as the digital files
become available. To see the full list of NCGIA technical reports, view
the file "pub_list" available both at the root directory of our ftp site
and inside the pub directory.
To access the files in this site, ftp to "ftp.ncgia.ucsb.edu" as the user
"anonymous" with any password, and "cd" into the "pub/Publications"
directory. Here there are several directories:
annual_reports - NCGIA annual reports
biblio - GIS bibliographies
final_reports - final reports on closed research initiatives
pubs_list - ASCII version of the current publication list
tech_reports - reports from the NCGIA Technical Report series
These directories have subdirectories by year and within those are
subdirectories by document. Within each of the document subdirectories you
will usually find "text" and "postscript" versions. In some cases there
are also other digital formats, data files and readme files.
