Hi all, I am running Slackware 8.1, and I have install MC 4.6.0 from source.
mc --version gives me: GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.0 Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish With builtin Editor Using the ncurses library With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm When I connect to an ftp server ( I am running stupid-ftpd on a non standard port on the same machine, so I connect to localhost:8021 ) and try to make a new directory, it says "operation not permitted." If I ftp to the same place with the command line ftp client, it lets me make directories, so I know it is not the server. I will try the cvs version of MC also, but I won't be able to get back to this little project for a week or so. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. --Rob I would prefer to use mcserv instead of ftpd. The reason is that I am doing this to build a floppy linux that can have the functionality of the DOS Laplink diskettes -- that is, you connect two computers with a parallel port and boot each from the floppy, and MC automatically starts and allows you to list the remote harddisk in one window and the local in the other, and copy things back and forth. Mcserv is considerably smaller than even my trimmed-down ftpd, as long as it will work without requiring the portmapper. When I get back to this project next week I will try to run mcserv in gdb and start tracing through to find out why it doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know what the last version of mcserv that worked is ? Did directory creation work on an mcserv filesystem ? You can check out what I have so far on the floppy at http://rgr.freeshell.org/flinux, if you are interested. _______________________________________________ Mc-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
