|> File Server and Anonymous FTP
|> -----------------------------
|> 
|> At Brookhaven, the PDB has an e-mail file server available for your
|> use. This server provides PDB general information and documentation
|> files. For more information, send an e-mail message to
|> fileserv@pb1.pdb.bnl.gov and include the following text:
|> 
|> 	send info your_e-mail_address.
|> 
|> The PDB also has an anonymous FTP account available on the 
|> system pdb.pdb.bnl.gov with Internet address 130.199.144.1. It is 
|> possible to transfer files to and from this system using "anony-
|> mous" as the FTP user name and your real user name as the pass-
|> word. PDB general information and documentation files, as well 
|> as pre-release atomic coordinate entries, are available for down-
|> loading. You also can upload any files that you may wish to send 
|> to the PDB. Those using VMS may need to place quotes around 
|> file names. 
|> 
|> Anyone experiencing problems or having questions related to the 
|> above network service should send an e-mail message to             
|> skora@bnl.gov.
