Has anyone else noticed that ftp search services like
archie seem to
have disappeared
The web as subsumed all of this, in an inferior fashion, IMHO.
You will notice that bitsavers looks exactly the same as it did as
an anonymous ftp site on its previous host.
Should we be working to archive large FTP software
repositories?
Absolutely! And try to find old backups that you have.
Make sure to use something that can preserve file dates of the files.
The old recursive ftp programs didn't do this.
