I am not really confident to get NDN FTP working with external sites.
If I configure a nameserver in WATTCP.CFG I get Connection Error 10060 instead
of 10051. Name resolving is working, but the client fails to make a connection.
This seems to be a local problem. I tried

It only works for flash memory and usb floppies.

My experience with USB sticks in FreeDOS is that the USB stick is
treated like a fixed disk: must be in at boot time, and no changing USB
sticks.
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

And if it uses Linux/win32 specific calls.

it mean that the USB drive must be inserted before booting the PC (even
if not booting from the USB drive itself)?

Getting stuff on the FreeDOS slice is a copy and paste from Win2K or Linux.
