CD-ROM Information System

Installing public data at a new site

Providing anonymous FTP access to selected public data

If you choose to integrate your public data into the CD-ROM Information System, all your public data will automatically be accessible, along with other public data, via anonymous FTP at LBL, at the location(s)

	ftp://cedrcd.lbl.gov/CEDRCD/diskN (where N is an integer)

Optionally, for efficiency, you can choose to make selected public data (including your own) available also through your own anonymous FTP server. To do so, you need only to mount (or automount) selected NFS-exported file systems into a location that is available to your anonymous FTP server.

The only difficulty is that the NFS file locations of data from other servers are subject to change without notice. For the combined CD-ROM Information System, the public file contents are described in

	ftp://cedrcd.lbl.gov/data1/merrill/docs/cdrom/install/contents.online
	ftp://cedrcd.lbl.gov/data1/merrill/docs/cdrom/install/contents.offline

and the corresponding NFS file locations are described in

	ftp://cedrcd.lbl.gov/data1/merrill/docs/cdrom/install/nfsloc.online
	ftp://cedrcd.lbl.gov/data1/merrill/docs/cdrom/install/nfsloc.offline

If you want your FTP server to be unaffected by changes in NFS file locations, you must copy some necessary files (similar to those above) from LBL every time they are updated, and arrange for your FTP server to use those files. LBL can arrange for the copying to be done automatically. For further information contact dwmerrill@lbl.gov.
