Information on Anonymous FTP Resources from PCI

ftp.pci.on.ca

A ftp server is intended to support users of PCI's products and those interested in our products. It is also intended to provide a mechanism to allow our users to share code and ideas.

In addition to this, PCI produces a number of software packages that are available as freeware, or as demo versions, to which anyone is welcome.

Access Information

Either go to the WWW URL ftp://ftp.pci.on.ca/index.html or connect to address ftp.pci.on.ca using ftp. Login with user name anonymous and provide your full email address as the password.

FTP directories and policy

Files available for retrieval are stored in the /pub directory tree. We have tried to keep the file and directory names as clear and understandable as possible. PCI maintains a README file within the /pub directory that explains what each file and directory is.

The directory /pub/incoming is available for users to upload things they wish to make available to other PCI users (and the world in general). There are a number of restrictions on incoming files:

All files placed in /pub/incoming are subject to approval by PCI and once approved, will be moved to the general /pub directory (or an appropriate subdirectory). Until approved, they will not be accessible.
Only files and programs relating to PCI software and/or Remote Sensing / Image Analysis will be accepted. General purpose ftp sites exist for other software and files.
No executable or object code will be accepted. There are no exceptions to this rule. If you want to make something available to other users, send it as source. If necessary PCI will build it for the various system(s) it supports.
PCI is very international in nature, as is the Internet. Please keep in mind that anything uploaded to PCI will become accessible to the entire world - PCI maintains no geographic restrictions on access to its ftp server.
Do not upload anything anything non-distributable, or of even questionable legality.
