Is there an external protocol (XPR-FTP) for File Transfer Protocol?
Kermit on my Amiga gives me errors on any file larger than 10k, with the
chance of getting an error increasing geometrically with file size.
It's a pain to FTP to an IBM disk on campus, go all the way home and
transfer from IBM to Amiga to work on the darn thing. Yes, I'm lazy.
Anybody want to do an FTP protocol or write a simple FTP server for our
beloved Amiga? Preferrably something stand-alone and small OR an external
protocol for VLT. Thanks!

The FTP protool runs over the TCP/IP protocol which runs over Ethernet or a serial line (SLIP.) You'll need to get an Ethernet card and a hookup for your Amiga or install SLIP on a machine on campus in addition to your Amiga. In both cases, the FTP program should come with your TCP/IP software, and SLIP isn't any faster than logging in and using a protocol like Kermit or ZMODEM.

Thanks! > Doug There is a FTP and telnet program for the Amiga it is AMIGANOS and it avaliable on THUMPER.BELLCORE.COM I have got but haven't had time to get it running yet will give it a go in the holidays.
