A note: the Plan 9 philosophy is to subdivide all tasks into
namespaces that are part of the file system. The mail system upas,
the USB system usbd, the print sytem lp, the FTP system ftpfs, the
web site access system webfs - all of them mount information to the
file system. In fact, the /proc directory, where your processes are
stored, made its way into other operating systems, and makes the who
command very short...

You will be asked for a username and password.
cd /n/yourftp
Your files are now there.

I just installed Plan 9 yesterday on a machine I've setup with
removable drives.
My machine is setup simply to experiment with different OS's and
I've got
drives
with several dozen different systems:
Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS/2, BeOs , Solaris, etc.
Plan 9 is now my latest experiment.
The main thing I wanted to do with Plan 9 was just use it to FTP
data up to
my website.
Though I've got the network configured and can Ping out...
I was not able to find any FTP. ( I did find "ftpd" though)
If I get that working, about the only other question I have is if
there is a
text-based news reader
available for accessing Usenet.
I read over the Wikipedia info but was not able to ascertain
anything to
help me.
Thanks
