Gopher 3

I have set up an account on vern.cc which will give me access to a working gopher server. In the meantime, I am working on a gophermap file and some support files to upload alongside it.

As vern.cc already offer gopher as a service, then the directory public_gopher already exists, so it is a case of copying in to there.

So to upload I can use

scp gophermap user@vern.cc:/home/user/public_gopher

Then to view this using a gopher client

gopher gopher://vern.cc/

Which will bring up a menu of users, and you can select zleap from the bottom of the list.

A few more notes

The gophermap file uses TABS, in your text editor you make sure you are using tabs not spaces, in xed (the editor I am using) there is an option in preferences that says use spaces instead of tabs this needs to be turned off.

It then formats the file correctly

spaces vs tabs
