CCL Contributing Material | |
Contributing material to CCL Web/FTP archivesAcceptable Types of MaterialsPlease contribute either your own materials or materials from other sources if they can be freely redistributed (e.g., open source or shareware software). We will gladly accept any pertinent:
related in any way to the use of computers in chemistry, life sciences or materials, provided that we are assured by the submitter that the material can be legally posted on CCL Web site. Contributing Files to CCL Web/FTP SiteIGNORE FTP PART. IT WAS DISABLED FOR SECURITY REASONS. JUST CONTACT CCL ADMINISTRATOR IS YOU WANT TO CONTRIBUTE SOMETHINGThe preferred mode of submission is the Upload Files Page that ensures that files are properly documented and will be easy to find on the CCL Web site. It was also created to ensure that the Internet search engines will properly index the uploaded materials. I also have a write-up on How and Why to Upload Files that explains the upload procedure and should convince you that sharing is a good thing for all of us. If for some reason you cannot use the the Web page upload at http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/upload_files I still support the FTP file upload. This is a pain, since incoming directory is overwhelmed by people (or maybe those are robots {:-)}, who knows...) who want to see if it is possible to use our ftp site for anonymous distribution of whatever. Of course they cannot do it, but they do not know until they try... I may be forced to discontinue it at some point. Even if you use FTP to contribute files, please provide documentation and PLEASE send me e-mail when you are finished and provide instructions. I have to find your good stuff among tons of dung, and also I am forced to clean the incoming directory quite often. How the FTP upload works: ftp ftp.ccl.net Name: anonymous Password: your-e-mail-address (you may prepend it with - if it does not work) cd incoming binary (to set binary mode for compressed files) mkdir mystuff (just an example -- use your own name) cd mystuff put readme.txt put myfile1 put myfile2 ...so on quit Note, for security reasons, you will not be
able to list or retrieve files that you uploaded. Please attach information about items that you contribute
e.g., as a "readme.txt" file, and your contact information. If You Should Experience Problems...If you cannot upload your files please let us know, and tell us what happened in some detail. We want to know about problems and fix them. Finding a compromise between security and convenience becomes more and more difficult. Please save/archive the material that may disappear soonPlease help us salvage materials for posterityIf you, or someone that you know will soon change
a job, retire, or is just too busy to maintain a site, please help.
There is a lot of good software, utilities, documents and data
that disappear from the Internet forever for one reason or another.
We would like to salvage as much as possible of this stuff for a common
good. If something is in public domain (or can be legally placed in it)
please let us know and help.
Changes happen so quickly in Cyber space. CCL aims
to preserve valuable materials at our stable CCL site to give permanency
to these many useful tools, documents and data. Thank you for your cooperation. Jan LabanowskiCCL Administrator |
