How hard (if at all possible) would it be to port
lftp to FreeDOS? From the Description page on its
web site:

I am confused by this. Both the FTP client and FTP server are DOS EXE
programs. Why would
Hi,
I see - it still looks like some neat BIOS emulation thing, though. Does
it mean that the USB drive must be inserted before booting the PC (even
if not booting from the USB drive itself)?
I guess you're lucky to have some smart BIOS there ;)
Anyway, it's still 'sneakernet-like' technology,
Hi Mike,
Yes, of course it's a totally cool solution. The problem is purely
conceptual - I already have a host that acts as a server for many
things, and have configured a local anonymous FTP server on it, so I'd
prefer to use this.

short comment on each.

Still you can use ZIP/LS-floppies: 100 MB of place (no need for

Yes, the place is not a problem itself, but if/when I need to synch
files a few times a day between my PCes, only networked transfers are

A samba share is another very valid approach, although IIRC there's not
much 'free' alternatives there, and the only serious driver (from MS)
consumes lots of conventional memory which I'd prefer to keep for other
usages...

Switching among many startup configurations is something we can't

reset DOS without resetting entire machine... it would make such

Hi Bret,
Of course most human problems can be avoided with good organization and
procedures. Most of my file exchanging needs could be aggregated into
blocks I could schedule. But I'd prefer to avoid such ultra-organization
during my hobby time :)
Anyway, there's one very specific case that I
Why are you using FreeDOS?
Personally I have three main reasons for which I stay with FreeDOS:
1.
I like Borland Turbo products and with FreeDOS I can run them in natural
environment. (BTW I was very pleasured when I found this location

If it's radio equipment that the software manages, it might not run in the
Windows command line or DOSBox. It probably needs direct access to the

Actually if the CPU is too fast in DOS the software cannot program the
radio so most ham radio operator's look for slow CPU's (old computers)
and load DOS as the sole operating system this is true especially for
older Motorola radio's - Johnny KD5LWU Cortez, CO
