I would like to set up ftp on my IBM Xenix 2.00 box. The ftp the comes with
the Operating Systems Extensions might work except for the fact that my
connections are not over a modem or a permanent connection, but over an
Ethernet. The basic problem I have is this:
1) before I do anything I have to send a control character to
wake up the network.
2) once this has been accomplished, I have to send the network a
command of the form
connect *machine
where connect can be abbreviated as anything from c on, and
machine is, of course, the machine name.
3) this would get me to a login prompt, so everything would be fine
until the session was over, when I need to do the following:
4) send a sequence of control characters to disconnect from the
machine, and
5) send a q followed by a return or space to tell the network to
go back to sleep so users can log in over that port.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Note: the address given above should work (I hope). If it doesn't, try
genghis!sns at csvax.caltech.edu, and please tell me that sns at genghis.caltech.edu
didn't work. If that doesn't work, use ...!seismo!csvax!genghis!sns and please
tell me that none of the above worked. Thanks for your help.
