[comp.sys.xerox] TCP/IP between 1186's

rkf@inel.gov (Raymond Fink) (02/10/89)

We have been using the library pkg FTPSERVER for doing this quite successfully
although it uses pup rather than tcp/ip.  It's not perfect (won't support 
multiple ports, can't deal with multiple versions of the same file, etc.) but
for basic copying, etc. it works ok.  Takes about 15-20 minutes to sysin a 
loops sysout across the net.  We also use tcp/ip on the same net to some unix
hosts, none of whom have complained about those weird pup packets running 
around :-)

BTW, has anybody patched the Medley FTPSERVER problem that quotes the period
in filenames with null extensions ({dsk}<lispfiles>foo.;1 is reported as
{dsk}<lispfiles>foo'.;1

On the FTPSERVER side,

(ADVISE '(CONCAT IN \SFTP.PLIST.FROM.FILE)
	'BEFORE
	'(AND (STREQUAL (ARG U 3) "")
		(RETURN (ARG U 1))))

I assume your complaint is purely cosmetic--the server doesn't mind if you
give it file names with quotes in them, right?
