That is, these two URLS refer to exactly the same thing: ftp://ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/README.TXT http://ftp7.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools/README.TXT In fact, /pub is a CGI program (written in C for efficiency) which uses $PATH_INFO to deliver a file or a directory listing. If anything except /pub/* is accessed, a static page with some information is delivered.
