Search Tools for Finding Files
We know a subject ourselves,
or we know where we can find information upon it."
Samuel Johnson, 1755
TOOLS TO LOCATE INTERESTING FTP SITES
One of the fastest growing areas of the internet is that of providing metadata, information about the data files or "bits about bits". During the last two years web browsers such as NetScape have provided easy to use interfaces to FTP sites and often make the process seamless since the browser can easily integrate FTP downloading as part of its functionality. Many FTP sites have developed web front ends to search and browse the vast array of files being stored in the archives. Below are a few examples:- Ya hoo! - Computers and Internet:Internet:FTP Sites
- Monster FTP Sites List
- Perry's FTP-List
- Microsoft Corporation
- Apple Computers
- INFO-MAC HyperArchive
- PLU Home Page to Internet Resources to Starting Points for Internet Exploration
- Subject Access to Internet Resources to Subject Oriented Guides. Try InterNIC Directory of Directories, The Search Page, or the Intern et Resources Meta-Index
