Congratulations! 1) NFS : The best for me would be to mount a nfs share to a drive letter on my dos station. It would be the ideal solution but I could not find an nfs client so far. Does someone knows if it exists ? Always look up Michael Bernardi's great list of internet applications at: http://www.dendarii.co.uk/FAQs/dos-apps.html Beneath http://www.tsoft.net/software/nfs/download.html see also: ftp://ftp.oldskool.org/pub/tvdog/internet/advanced/xfs191.zip/ There's also a Mini Howto for it at http://fd-doc.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?n=FdDocEn.NFS Never tried it myself. 2) SMB : I tried the msclient with no luck. Besides, I heard it uses a lot of memory and I guess it could be a nightmare to setup with the different smb versions out there. So I dropped this option. Many people use MS Client with success to share files between a DOS and a Windows machine. To share files between a DOS machine and a Linux file server running Samba (that's what you use, if I understand you correctly) you have to configure Linux Samba to use security = share instead of security = user (which is the default and much more secure. You probably should not do that if your fileserver is connected to the internet). Look here for a german description and an example smb.conf (although that one looks a bit too complicated IMHO): http://www.alice-dsl.net/gerd_roethig/dosnet.html#lindos MS CLient has to use the TCP/IP protocol to work with Samba. 3) RSYNC (over ssh ?) : Has rsync been ported to dos ? Never heard of it, sorry. 4) HTTP: This is what I currently use, I drop some files on the /var/www of my file server and I fetch them with lynx on my dos box or with wget. Of course I would like a better solution. 5) FTP : Well I've got an ftp client on my dos station but no gui. My goal is to have an easy way to browse files on my file server, not by using an ftp command line driven client. Is there any ftp client with a file commander like gui ? AFAIK Arachne has a sort of ftp client built in. Wasn't there also an APM for it? Minuet http://www.fdisk.com/doslynx/minuet/ also has a graphical ftp client. I always used ftp the other way round: I ran a FTP server on the freedos machine and logged in with filezilla from Windows. I used EZNOS2 and ftpsrv32 from the Watt-32 applications (more stable but slower, download at http://www.filegate.net/utiln/utilnet/wt32apps.zip) as ftp server. Sorry, my FreeDOS Box is down at the moment (needed the harddisk for something else) so I can't experiment with it at the moment.

Re: [Freedos-user] Network sharing
Hi Ron, But I am not oin the league of you folks that get into the guts of this DOS. The question I have is this Can one of you if not a team get together and fix this DOS so that I or anyone could boot from a DVD or Well to fix it, you would first have to tell us what is broken... CD which ever and run this DOS off that media? I would also want it to Booting FreeDOS from CD/DVD is relatively easy, and some people have howtos on their homepage where they explain how to make bootable DOS CD/DVD. Use rewriteable CD/DVD for your experiments, then you can reuse them until you made a really nice version :-). recognize all my drives including the memory card readers? Would this be impossible? Memory card readers can be hard, but USB sticks are usually okay. Often they are even supported by the BIOS, so DOS needs no drivers. If not I would really like to have this DOS to be able to run off a DVD or CD in other words boot from either. Yes, no problem. I usually burn the official FreeDOS ISOs or pre- releases of them on DVD-RW when I want to try them :-). Booting from DVD is pretty similar to booting from CD. You only have to take care that only ISO and not UDF filesystems are supported, apart from that, DOS can read both CD and DVD. can't take the chance I would mess something up and not be able to fix it. And I wouldn't have the knowledge to fix Its often easier to fix Windows than you would think, as long as you have the emergency console tools on diskette or CD. Do not confuse them with the stupid reinstall Windows and delete all data, then at least Windows works again function in XP. If you use the 1.0 ISOs, you have to take care that they are meant for installing DOS on harddisk. You may prefer to make your own use only, do not install CD because of that. See the howtos online. A good DOS base can be the diskette distro from Rugxulo: http://rugxulo.googlepages.com/ which is also much newer than FreeDOS 1.0 :-).

Re: [Freedos-user] Network sharing
Well I must have done something wrong, which isn't beyond me.BG I downloaded an image file from somewhere called fdfullcd.iso and using that I burnt a cd. Where can I find the program or the official web site to down load the right version? Well I booted from it but it had boot errors so I had to steop them and skip the problem statements but it made the cd drive A: if I remember correctly and the A: drive c: and It did not list my two hard drives. Well I had to step thru the boot files because as it booted it have a couple of errors so I stepped thru and bye passed the ones that was giving the problem and got it to boot. But then it did what I already told you about the drives maybe needing a driver for the drives I have don't know enough and it did not have my 2 hard drives listed and changed the other two as I have already stated. Then I went looking on the cd for the sys.ini auto.exe.bat config.sys and other boot files which is obvious I dodn't know what boot files free dos uses and couldn't find them. Know they have to be there somewhere but maybe I was looking for the wrong file names. When I found them I was going to take out the problem boot statements after I re-burned Free Dos on a rewriteable CD. Well as I said I couldn't find them don't know what to look for and am stumped unless you can shed some light on these problems.

Eric I don't think I'd recommend rolling your own FreeDOS to a user who just said he's not comfortable in fixing Windows if he broke it. Building your own FreeDOS distro is good for developers and IT backoffice staff who need to have a custom FreeDOS environment, but I still recommend installing in a virtual machine for casual FreeDOS users. -jh - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Hi Fabien, while you can't mount it ssh2dos does have a scp/sftp client: http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/sshdos/ssh2021b.zip so you can transfer files through ssh/ftp servers :) i hope it helps :) See Ya, Geraldo -- site: http://extremedev.sf.net msn: geraldo_boca_at_hotmail.com skype: geraldo-netto icq: 145-061-456 On 19/01/2008, Fabien Meghazi [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah !
