Assorted Internet utilities, including Fetch and Xftp Dave Elbon University of Kentucky http://ukcc.uky.edu/ Internet Utilities June 1997 We use these to support our Gopher and Web services and to work with various servers around campus. They are written in REXX and some use modules from our Utility package, Pipelines, Rxsocket, and Rexxwait. FETCH is a full-screen front-end for the CMS FTP client. It puts up a menu of files and directories on the remote host and allows you to examine them or copy them to your local system. It will use Xftp... XFTP is a front-end to Xedit that gets a file from a remote host, lets you edit it with Xedit, then copies it back to the remote host. NETADDR is a Pipeline filter written in REXX that breaks Internet addresses (like user@host.name) into parts. It supports nicknames. GETURL is used to get a file from a server somewhere given a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). It uses GETHTTP, GETFTP, and GETGOPHER. SPIDER is the guts of a service machine that gathers files from other places around our system and uses MAKEHTML to build an HTML file and send it to a server. HARVEST is another service machine that uses a REXXWAIT EVENTS file to drive it. At scheduled times it gets files from servers around the Internet and optionally does a little post-processing. It also uses GETHTTP, GETGOPHER, and GETFTP. We are currently running under VM/ESA 2.2 and CMS 8. There is, as always, no warranty.
