MuPAD-FAQ-FTP

## FTP-Service

The home site of MuPAD is math-ftp.uni-paderborn.de:/pub/MuPAD. There you can get MuPAD documentations and binaries for several operating systems via anonymous ftp. This server is also reachable via WWW. Further ftp sites that mirror MuPAD periodically are:

- France
  - ftp.inria.fr:/lang/MuPAD
- Germany
  - ftp.uni-paderborn.de:/pub/MuPAD (daily mirror)
  - ftp.ask.uni-karlsruhe.de:/pub/education/mathematics/MuPAD
  - ftp.germany.eu.net:/pub/comp/applications/math/mupad
- USA
  - archives.math.utk.edu:/software/multi-platform/MuPAD
  - ftp.math.utah.edu:/pub/mupad

MuPAD for Linux is also available via sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/apps/math/MuPAD. Before you try to get it, please refer to the mirror list to find the ftp site next to you.

### You cannot connect to our ftp-server ?

Our server is also an offical site for X11R6 and linux. Many users try to connect to it. The server has a limitation of 40 users and you may get the message "...too many users..." if this limit is reached. Please, try it again later or try one the the site listed above.

If you only get the message "...access demied..." before connection breaks down, then your ftp-client does not support the full RFC (931 or 1314) and cannot display the message about user limitation. Maybe you want to use an other ftp-client. Please, try it again later or try one the the site listed above.

### Good times for ftping

Remember that this site is in germany (europe). Good times for ftp are 4:00-6:00 in the morning and also 18:00-20:00 in the evening ( local time).

### Privileged ftp-users

If you have installed an identification server (identd, RFC1413) on your system, you are handled as a privileged ftp-user. This user class is allowed to connect to our ftp-server even if the limit of anonymous users is reached. Allthough this class has also an user limitation, the competition is not as hard as for normal anonymous users. "identd" or "pidentd" can be found on various ftp-servers (for example: ee.utah.edu:/pidentd). Ask your system administrator.

### Further ftp server with MuPAD

Some further sites provides a copy of parts of our MuPAD directory, please try the program archie to find them. The complete and also newest release of MuPAD can always be found on its home site ftp.uni-paderborn.de:/local/MuPAD.

### You are ftp administrator ?

If you want to mirror MuPAD on your ftp site then please sent us an email with following informations:

- name of your ftp site
- directory where MuPAD is installed
- email addresses of ftp-administrators
- supported systems (arch,os)
- The host you use for mirroring (not a host in a students pool!).

These informations makes it possible to put you in a higher access class for mirroring. We also can inform you about changes on our site and about the publishing of a new MuPAD release. Please, keep your MuPAD directories up-to-date. Users will thank you!

Note: We are looking for institutes that are able and willing to become official MuPAD sites. By now, there is only one MuPAD site exterior of europe. Espacially we are interested in further sites in North and South America, Australia, Asia, North and South Afrika.
