Subject: Upload files to FTP
Hi, accmailers.
Is it possible to upload files to FTP server (my free web pages) via
e-mail? It isn't anonymous server. If it's possible, how to use my
password and user name?
Thanks, Mirek

AFAIK procmail works only under Unix, Linux, etc.
You could use Pegasus Mail with the sendfile addon to get the
same results.

>From the questions that appear on this list and others that I belong
to, nobody nowadays is much interested in computing history. All the
questions appear to relate to how does some M$ product work, how to
make a web page, and how to fix some software or hardware problem.
The PC with Windows and the 'net has become a point-and-click medium
with no thought behind how any of it works -- and nobody much cares any
way.
How many people even care about programming? -- not many I'd guess...

That message does not imply you are using an incorrect method of
contacting the service. It simply say it could not be reached because
it was permanently busy or seems to be gone down. Just try the
address of another getweb server such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The "FTPMail, Agora, etc. statistics" on this list tell you about the
fastest and most reliable servers on a regular base.
