But running an FTP server on the desktop (native on Linux or OS X; IIS or Filezilla or ... on Windows) should work. If you have John McK's peculiar species of PHB, you can run NFS server on Linux and use 127.0.0.1 as the server for RECEIVE FROMNETWORK. I have done RECEIVE FROMNETWORK (of a product not from IBM) with OS X and Filezilla on Windows XP as servers. (This saves procedural steps, but no HFS space compared to staging to HFS and doing RECEIVE FROMNTS.) Just think of OpenSolaris, OS X, or Linux as a network-attached DVD control unit. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
