Ha, it sounds like what I was getting last weekend - "socket error

I am not really confident to get NDN FTP working with external sites.

Okay.
I got Necromancer's Dos Navigator and its integrated graphical FTP Browser to
work - at least for the LAN.
(With a connection to two external FTP sites I still get Connection Error 10051)
To try this I run two VirtualBox FreeDOS guests.

That depends on which drivers you're using. The BIOS, and most DOS USB
drivers, do indeed work that way. My drivers treat flash drives as a rem
Enable usb in the bios then load Hamamatsu drivers into your config.sys.
Its a driver found on the web. Works very well. Everyone uses it for DOS.
It only works for flash memory and usb floppies.
If you have RS232 available then you can use xtalk to move file between
computers.

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 :)

I obviously don't understand your precise situation, but is it possible to
change your procedures so that you don't need to sync the PC's multiple times a

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.

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 all,
Thank you all for your replies! I was assuming network transfers only,
as this seems the only proper way, and I've been surprised how many of
us still use non-networked file transfers methods :)

In my case, the FreeDOS box is an ancient notebook that multi-boots
Win2K Pro, a couple of flavors of Linux, and FreeDOS.
Getting stuff on the FreeDOS slice is a copy and paste from Win2K or Linux.

There are also CompactFlash Adapters for XTs, it may be a convinient

A little work in moving the chip around but should work unless you don't

mTCP provides three options:
- an FTP client for DOS. Not "point and click" user friendly, but it
does what it is supposed to do.
- HTGET for downloading a file from an HTTP server
- an FTP server for DOS. This allows you to use a graphical FTP client
on another machine.

How do you transfer files between your main computer and your
