Sorry, the previous post got messed-up.  Here is another attempt.


Given the relatively  small information that I have received in response to
 my earlier posting, I have decided to re-post the message in the hope that
 it will attract some new eyes.  The posting is appended below.  I would
like to thank everyone who had responded to my last post.

The general suggestion has been to include the ftp info in the FAQ.  I think 
this is a good idea; some ftp info is already present in the FAQ.  Probably I 
should crosspost with control, mech. engr, neural networks (any other?)
newsgroups also.

Thanks

The earlier message follows-----------------------------------------

 I am not sure if it already exists, but I would like to suggest the
 compilation of a list of anonymous ftp-sites containing robotics-related
 materials. It can often help speed up one's search for a particular 
 paper.  If anyone has compiled such a list, I would like to get a copy.  
 Otherwise, I am willing to volunteer to start such a list and post it 
 periodically in this newsgroup.  In this latter case, I would like to request
 everyone who has knowledge of existing ftp sites to send me mail  with the
 relevant information (such as the name of the site, pathname of the
 particular directory, a list of items etc.).  The "list of items" should
 contain info such as:

 Researcher, R., Co-Researcher, R., "This is a very useful robotics paper
 written by us", Some Conference on Robotics, 1994.

 rather than items such as:

sCfRobo_me.ps.Z

Thanks
