SDF is alright. Been there since 2001. It's definitely old school unix
- something that appeals to me and helps keep the skills fresh. I run
NetBSD on my home systems so SDF feels very comfortable.
On the file transfer question, an example:
% cd /tmp
% fortune > oh.txt
% tar cf - oh.txt | ssh me@freeshell.org "tar xf - -C ~/gopher"
% snarf gopher://sdf.lonestar.org/00/users/me/oh.txt -
Do you realize how many holes there could be if people would
just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
* The "~/gopher" is a symbolic link that gets set up automatically
when you run the 'mkgopher' command on SDF.
You can also use sftp for an interactive ftp-like method.
For windows users the Putty terminal app has pscp and psftp
which perform similar functions.
