Re: [Freedos-user] mTCP 2011-05-20 Version
Now that mTCP is Free Software, I think the next version of FreeDOS should focus on getting basic networking abilities. Well, relatively free. A certain group of people are aghast that I used GPL v3 - apparently that is not free enough for them. I'm getting a good laugh out of that conversation though. Should you refer to me here (I highly doubt you do not) then please ensure not to misrepresent my opinion. I am not aghast at your choice of license. Though as has been stated it is true that personally I would have _preferred_ a license other than the GPL. It is obviously your choice. As I pointed out I appreciate your source code release nonetheless. If you want to further express your amusement at me please keep that to our forum.

Welcome to slashdot.org :) Sometimes it is hard to tell the motivation. I would have preferred that the license discussion not be attached to the announcement of one particular project and instead treated as a different/new thread of discussion. That removes any doubts. A more appropriate use of the announcement thread would have been to discuss the project goals or technical questions. However, I agree that it is time to move on. We definitely don't want this devolving any further .. Regards, Mike -- Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.

Re: [Freedos-user] mTCP 2011-05-20 Version
Hi Michael, thanks a lot! I tried the ftpsrv app with Filezilla and it works much better now (I missed the update before, so maybe this is not really news). Directory browsing with Filezilla as FTP client and mTCP ftpsrv as server seems to be no problem anymore. Thanks! And I especially like the precise logging of events to the screen of the DOS machine. I miss this in WATT32 ftpsrv32. Unfortunately there still seem to be some issues of mTCP ftpsrv with Filezilla: 1. When I try to copy a file with a long filename in Filezilla to the FreeDOS machine mTCP ftpsrv will not store it. Instead it responds with 550 Bad path. Filezilla translates this to Critical error. In comparison, WATT32 ftpsrv32 stores it anyway and lets FreeDOS cut the name. 2. Another behaviour I saw: Successfully copied files are sometimes not listed automatically in the right window with the files on the server in Filezilla. So sometimes I have to push the refresh button. 3. Filezilla seems to show a random date of the files I copied to the server (neither the original date nor the actual one). If I stop the server and check them in FreeDOS the copied files have the actual date. 4. If I try to copy a file that already exists on the server, ftpsrv responds with 553 File exists already which causes Filezilla to stop the transfer and say Critical error. By default Filezilla should open its dialogue window which asks if I want to overwrite, rename or keep the duplicate on the server. Sorry to report this. Most of these bugs may relate more to Filezilla than to your FTP server. I work with Filezilla 3.3.1 in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and use freedos in Virtualbox. BTW I have updated the mtcp files in the virtualbox image at http://lazybrowndog.net/freedos/virtualbox/ :-) thanks again, regards Ulrich Hansen -- vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
