### <a name="4.01 Is there an anonymous FTP"></a><a name="4.01 Is there an anonymous FTP "></a> 4.01 Is there an anonymous FTP site with AFS information?
-Yes, it is: [ftp.transarc.com](ftp://ftp.transarc.com/).
-
-**NOTE:** Due to security limitations on the FTP server, the 'ls' command is not allowed for anonymous users. Instead, use the MANIFEST document to find what you are looking for, and then issue 'get' or 'mget' commands to retrieve files.

-These directories are also accessible via AFS. For example: <file:///afs/transarc.com/public/anon-ftp/pub/afs-contrib>

-(NB "pub" => "public/anon-ftp/pub" when using AFS to access these.)

-A final option allows you to use the [[WWWtoAFS]] trick to view the public FTP service. To reach te FTP site this way, try pointing your browser to the following URL:

### <a name="4.05 Is there a mailing list fo"></a> 4.05 Is there a mailing list for AFS topics?
-Yes, it is <info-afs@transarc.com>.
-
-An automated program called Majordomo is now handling the info-afs list. To join the mailing list, send a message to:
-
-<majordomo@transarc.com>
-
-In the body (not the Subject line) of the message, type:
-
-subscribe info-afs
-
-For example:
-
-$ mail -s "subscribe to info-afs" <majordomo@transarc.com> <<% subscribe info-afs %
-
-To unsubscribe:
-
-$ mail -s "unsubscribe from info-afs" <majordomo@transarc.com> <<% unsubscribe info-afs
+The old <info-afs@transarc.com> mailing list doesn't work for posting questions. Instead [[OpenAFSInfo]] and [[OpenAFSDevel]] are quite active.
