FTP Sites or File Transfer Protocol

How I searched with no sucess for Canadian FTP Sites

  1. I went to the website for Archie
  2. I searched Archiplex Form using scouting as the key word in Canada(Ugam), Canada(McGill), Canada(Bunyip)and restricted the domain to "ca" and got nothing
  3. I went to the ArchiePlex at McGill University to try again and got nothing
  4. I searched Snoopie with no results
  5. I searched Filez with no results
  6. I gave up, no Canadian FTP sites that I could find. However I know that there is a site with a program call ScoutSys for Troop record keeping yet I could not find it.
However after I wrote this I got a message from Don Buchan about his Scouting ftp site but I don't know why it did not come up when I searched for it. He also sent me the URL for his site on the web that deals with as well as many other things Scouting and Star Trek.

Using Telnet for Chat

 One of the Scout resources availible is using a Telnet to have a chat room.
If you were to go to http://www.kharduin.net /~koala/programs and get the telnet program and then Telnet to dryn.kharduin.net at port 1908 (the year BP was born) and if you contact Jeff Butts in Alberta than you can join in. Jeff and his crew do a good job of checking references and he gives you a name and a password so it is very safe for Youth.
