If I ftp into my macintosh (that has TelNet running with ftp enabled), I can only "see" the hard disk that the TelNet program is resident on. I cannot determine a way to "cd" to the other hard drive. Is this possible at all? I have tried using all the flavors of TelNet V2.3, i.e. with and without MacTCP and the BYU version (which has host ftp built in) with and without MacTCP. Configuration: IIci, 8 megs, internal 80meg, external 160meg. -- = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Group = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj, motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = = Applelink: N1111 = =I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message =

Well, here is the answer... ============================================================================ I believe theat telnet treats the desktop as root and all disks as directories one level below. So to cd to a disk named Disk 1, you would do cd "/Disk 1" The "" are needed in case you have spaces in the disk name. -- | Marek Behr | mf12605@uc.msc.umn.edu (internet) | | University of Minnesota | AE01005@UMNACVX (BITNET) | Thanks to Marek. ============================================================================ (why do I always respond to my own postings?) -- = John DeRosa, Motorola, Inc, Cellular Infrastructure Group = = e-mail: ...uunet!motcid!derosaj, motcid!derosaj@uunet.uu.net = = Applelink: N1111 = =I do not hold by employer responsible for any information in this message =

Try cd diskname:foldername That should work, I believe. -- Kurt Baumann InterCon Systems Corporation 703.709.9890 Creators of fine TCP/IP products 703.709.9896 FAX for the Macintosh.

As Marek points out, with NCSA 2.3, 2.4 (among others) FTP servers, cd "/volume name" works, and so does cd ":volume name", where quotes are unnecessary if the volume name has no spaces, and the volume name is case insensitive. I use this technique to FTP files to or from an AppleShare volume by FTPing through a dedicated Mac which has these AppleShare volumes mounted. (Why not just run an FTP server on the AppleShare volume, you ask? Well, AppleShare get's confused (e.g. crashes) when another process creates a new file o a volume, while it's publishing that same volume. :^( Ben Schmidt Bell-Northern Research, Ltd.
