Yes, as I said in my original email: > The other approach that I've opted out of is to hack slirp to have support for > the ftp protocol and run the server externally thru real sockets. If you or > anyone else wants to try this, I'm willing to help a little. There is nothing wrong with using the slirp forwarding code (it would probably be a lot easier to get to work), I just think that its overkill to have to open a socket (rather, one for each data connection) on the host just so qemu can talk to itself. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty. Infinite precision begets infinite perfection. _______________________________________________ Qemu-devel mailing list Qemu-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
