Yes, that's probably it! So I either go through the trouble of setting up a tap network or I find a different means of transfering files. I seem to remember that tap caused me a lot of trouble once, so I'd prefer some different method. > My guess is ftpfs requires active > mode connection (but should be easy to change).

For now, getting some sort of file trabsfer to work has priority, and FTP does not seem to work with QEMU user networking anyway. -- Nils M Holm < n m h @ t 3 x . o r g > www.t3x.org
