This is an interesting topic... If you want you can setup a FTP server on DOS running as TSR in background. http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.Servers
msclient is nice to mount a remote server into a DOS device letter, unfortunately it's indeed a memory hog and there is no alternative implementation for ms networks. I haven't checked out novel netware but I think these days it will be also outdated, obsolete, memory hog and providing DOS device letter for the remote share? Also see http://www.dossolutions.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/network.htm I've found there an NFS implementation for DOS. Unfortunately I haven't come across any background network drive software not being a memory hog and using XMS/EMS/JLM instant. regards, -mr Christian Groessler schrieb: > Hi all, > > after having my FreeDOS installation basically up and running, > I'd like to ask what the preferred method to connect to a > file server share is these days. > > I'm currently using MSCLIENT to connect to a samba share, but > MSCLIENT is a memory hog and I'd prefer a better solution. > > Back in the days Novell netx was a blast, but my file server > (FreeBSD) doesn't support IPX very well. > > Thanks for any hints. > > chris > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > _______________________________________________ > Freedos-user mailing list > Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
