Here at Sirius Systems we have just about completed our new FTP server and are looking for others with whom we might exchange files at the upcoming Interop-88 show. At the show we expect to have the following features: Modes: Stream, Block, and Compressed Structure: File and Record Type: ASCII and Image Format: Noprint, TELNET, and Control (ASA) We are not going to do structure page since we do not run on DECSystem-20's. Neither are we going to support type EBCDIC since the hosts speak ASCII. We are also not going to implement the following FTP commands since they would serve no function on our hosts: ALLO, ACCT, CDUP, SMNT In addition to the above we plan to implement the ability to restart a failed transfer from a checkpoint. For those of you who care, we use 5120 octets (bytes) as our checkpoint interval (unless someone else can give us a good reason to use some other value or formula). If you have an FTP that can do more than the minimum defined implementation we would like to hear from you. Thanks. Brian Lloyd Sirius Systems, Inc. P.O.
