The server named dropbox.dartmouth.edu provides directories
for the exchange of files between machines located on the Dartmouth campus
and machines located on other networks. Users from outside the College can
deposit files in a folder named "incoming" and on-campus users can retrieve
them by name from that folder. College users can deposit files in a folder
named "outgoing" and users from outside of Dartmouth can retrieve them, if they
know the file name(s). The contents of these folders cannot be viewed by name,
so users need to know the exact file name(s) in order to
retrieve the file(s). The filename itself becomes the password for
retrieval.
Peter Kiewit Computing Services (PKCS) tries to keep several
gigabytes of space available for anonymous FTP transfers, but the exact
amount of free space is determined by how much is already in use. It is
recommended that no single file uploaded to the space should be larger than one
gigabyte. To find the current status of usage and space availability for each
folder, see Anonymous FTP
Dropboxes.
All files are deleted automatically from
dropbox.dartmouth.edu and
ftplocal.dartmouth.edu after four
days. Illegal use of this service is prohibited.
Additional information is available; see Anonymous FTP File
Transfer Using dropbox.dartmouth.edu.
