Chemistry & Biochemistry Anonymous FTP Server

This anonymous FTP server (ftp.chem.ucla.edu) is for internal software distribution only. Sites outside of chem.ucla.edu will be denied access.

Departmental Documentation

We are slowly accumulating a catalog of documents to help users accessing resources within the department. The Internal Website is accessible from within the department without a password, and externally using your email username and password.

Details on printing, email setup, and technology purchases are available.
Please send suggestions related to the FTP server to ftp-maint@chem.ucla.edu.

Recent versions of some commonly used public domain and shareware packages for Apple Macintosh, MS Windows/DOS, and Unix platforms will be maintained on this server.

Instructions for the use of the departmental remote access facility can be found here.
