I am not sure if these programs I wrote are what the
original requestor wanted or not.
that was me...
Here is what they do:
They sit on an unattended AX.25 capable file server, and users connect
to them and download files. If I had the upload half of
the program finished, they could upload files to the server also.
It sounds like you are very close with the core functionality of
what I'm looking for.
My objective here is to transfer a binary file between two systems with
packet radio.
The file will be highly compressed standard Email and NNTP posts - the
old UUCP way of doing things. I believe the existing tools allow
setting the size of the outgoing file bundle so we'll be able to limit
it to something like 50K which would probably be fine for most of the
exchanges.
I'd like the transfer to be very fast, aggressive and efficient. To get
the job done as quick as possible and get out of the way. No doubt
that FTP/TCP would be better for larger and more robust transfers but in
this case the overhead of TCP is unacceptable.
I'm attempting to keep this scheme as standard as possible by minimizing
the value added tools. A single specialized "ax25" file copy program
that works through the AX25 tools would be a good solution.
While this is basically Linux, I'm considering the issues and
possibilities of running this on the other OS's. (UUPC anyone?)
There's sure been some interesting info presented here in the past
couple days...
