I am interested in having my 1186s speak to each other over our local thin-net (ethernet). Using the TFTP code from the TCP/IP library package, I am able to preform "trivial" gets and puts; however, I am not able to get remote directories. I would like to have these machines sharing their harddisks in a reasonable fashion. For example, it would be nice to store a clean loops sysout on one machine, rather than on all four, etc. Thanks in advance, -eric cooper bbn labs (617)873-2947

You might want to use the TCPFTP server, rather than the TFTP server. 1186's aren't the worlds fastest file servers, but we've been able to use them as such without too many problems. ...arun

If all you have are 1186s, you can simply use the FTPSERVER and MINISERVE Lisp Library Packages which use a PUP/NS protocol.

The ftpserver occasionally breaks with a HELP message (just enter an up-arrow), and one cannot open more than one file at a time, but the setup works most of the time. The Fons
