A software utility for finding files stored on FTP servers, Archie is a system for locating files on the Internet. Using Archie you can search through millions of files available on the Internet and find a specific one you are looking for. The Archie database is made up of only the names (and sometimes short descriptions) of the files, so it is best to know the actual name of the file you are looking for. The more specific your request, the more likely you will find the file you want.

Because Archie can be very slow, you might want to first try a more general search using a search engine such as Yahoo or AltaVista.
