Even if not very practical, you can use UZIX to get files from your Linux box using FTP. Altought UZIX is alfa, FTP works very nicely. You get get the files you want without needing to prepare them for transmission (just browse your PC HD with the FTP client). The connection between MSX/UZIX and PC/Linux can be done using pppd (preferable) or slip. As Grauw said, detailed instructions are available at UZIX page. And about moving the files from UZIX FS to FAT partitions: just use doswrite. FAT16 is supported. Ex.: doswrite /tmp/uzix.dsk /dev/hda32 BTW, if I'm not mistaken, INS has a full working FTP client. I don't know if INS supports direct pppd connections using RS232 (I just tested it with a modem), but I think it deserves a try if you don't want to use UZIX, but want the facilities of FTPing.
