Hi. I was reading very carefully the documentation page on the GNU Hurd website titled 'Small Examples on Using Translators'. The part of the Translator /hurd/hello was exactly as the text said. Very promising intro to the Translators universe.
I have questions on the Transparent FTP with the /hurd/ftpfs translator. Cos is short, i paste here the text in the website: ---------------------------------Documentation------------------- Transparent FTP We already setup a a transparent FTP translator for you at /ftp: With it you can easily access public FTP via the file system, for example the one from the GNU project: $ ls /ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ But you can also do this very easily yourself: $ # Setup the translator on the node ftp: $ settrans -c ftp: /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs / and you can access FTP sites via the pseudo-directory ftp:, for example with $ ls ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ What you do here is setting up the translator /hurd/hostmux on ftp: and passing it the translator /hurd/ftpfs to use for resolving accesses as well as / as additional path component. ---------------------------------Documentation End--------------- The 'test' work exactly as the text say, and i did ls on the GNU FTP, but i want to introduce here my question: Can this be done also with a ftp server that requires an user name and password?. I have my account with user name and password and do well "traditional ftp". Can i get too have this Transparent FTP that the marvelous concept of the Translator allows?. Thanks very much, in advance. Regards. Jose Luis. -- https://lordofunix.org/ Not Registered GNU/Hurd User. Registered BSD User 51101. Registered Linux User #213309. Memories.....
