I would like to make a CD-ROM disk available via ftp. I tried using KA9Q but when an ftp client uses the 'dir' or 'ls' command KA9Q tries to create a temp file on the ROM disk, ha, ha. I like KA9Q because it will support concurrent ftp sessions and has some password/directory security. Has anybody made a CD-ROM accessiable through ftp? What did you use? Thanks! Tim Lange. Purdue U.

One option is to make your current disk something other than the CD-ROM, then use the msdos "join" command to make the CD-ROM disk appear as a subdirectory under your writeable disk. Russ Nelson has some patches to KA9Q (they may already have been merged into the master source by Phil) that make this work better/easier. -- Bernie Roehl, University of Waterloo Electrical Engineering Dept Mail: broehl@sunee.waterloo.edu OR broehl@sunee.UWaterloo.ca BangPath: {allegra,decvax,utzoo,clyde}!watmath!sunee!broehl Voice: (519) 885-1211 x 2607 [work]

Nope. They make undocumented calls to MSDOS, and Phil didn't like them.
That's his option, of course. Fortunately, his source is available, so
you can just fetch my patches from sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/ka9q/diffs.arc.
They're kind of old but most of them should still work, esp. the join
patches in question.
