could i have a minimal FTP thingie with just USER/PASS/PASV/RETR?

TYPE

TYPE I would be needed as well

yes

I don't know if the server will accept a path ...

i'll try :)

try it ..

should work, iirc

yeah, works fine

great ...

and you can just queue commands with the WRITE

dunno if two consecutive RETR wil work though

you'll at least need another PASV before the 2nd RETR

Does the WRITE set off the handler again?

guess it needs another read ..

from within the awake handler: yes

from the outside: no

ok, that's the important thing

but it'll be buffered anyway

so if the event machinery already is in full swing :)

ah, graham .... :)

hold me back

HOLD

good

down boy down

wow, there is a tail? actor

where are the available actors documented?

someone had a link the other day which mentioned that the series 
protocol should be available completely

can't remember the link, though :)

makes sense

Do you actually use ftp much ?

nope

never :)

me hardly much either!

last time i used it was years ago

so why do we do ftp, then :) ?

should rather do something more useful, like ... dunno

dns, whois

why are we doing it ?  as an exercise I guess

dns is done

pop3, imap4, smtp

dns is very rudimentary on linux

Imap4 ... Gabriele has something .. but I'm not sure if he can release 
it or not .

for pop3/imap4 the scheme alone is not enough anyway

at least to be useful for something besides the most basic throwaway 
scripts

but well, maybe for something like gabriele's spam stuff

well, I still occasionally use ftp across my network ...

(was it gabriele's?)

i'd rather need ssh

for scripting backups?
