Internet FTP Archives at NOAO-Tucson (1Sep92)
(from CCS, NOAO Newsletter No. 31, 1 September 1992)

We have several machines at NOAO-Tucson that provide archives available
via anonymous FTP over the Internet. You can use the FTP program on
your local machine to connect to any of these archive machines and then
login as "anonymous" and use your e-mail address as the password.

If you are looking for the IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility)
archives, FTP to iraf.tuc.noao.edu (140.252.1.1).

If you are looking for the KPNO (Kitt Peak National Observatory)
archives, FTP to orion.tuc.noao.edu (140.252.1.22) and look in /kpno.

The machine noao.edu (140.252.1.54) no longer supports an archive; all
you will find there now is a README file that repeats the information
contained in this article.

If you are looking for the WIYN archives, various TeX templates, the
KPNO filters file or anything that used to be on noao.edu, FTP to
gemini.tuc.noao.edu (140.252.1.11).

If you are looking for the Solar FTS archives, the Kitt Peak Vacuum
Telescope archives, the GONG archives, the NSO/Sacramento Peak Fe XIV
and Ca XV archives or the SN 1987A archives, FTP to robur.tuc.noao.edu
(140.252.1.10). Note that an FTP session with Robur, being a VAX
running VMS, "looks" a little different than the typical FTP session
with a Sun: login with username "anonftp" and password "guest". Use VMS
syntax when specifying directories in the cd command, e.g. "cd
[ftp.gong]".

Questions can be directed to Steve Grandi, grandi@noao.edu.
