unix<>dos ftp Q

hello all
a dos-newbee need your help.

my config:

dos1-->unix-->dos2 (NOTA: dos? is all but unix)

the problem using ftp:
dos? to unix is OK
but
unix to dos? does not work
and
dos1 to dos2 also not work

to transfer data from dos1 to dos2 i am forced to walk over unix

sure i'am missig something, my unix knowlegde says:
some 'deamons' on dos? are NOT running.
the Q: how can i start them?

thanks for your time.

> some 'deamons' on dos? are NOT running.
Oh my... You'll be very disappointed of DOS.
How did you even connect it to a tcp/ip network? I know there is third party stacks, but to go though this you would have already noticed that DOS is no good and the "OS" in "DOS" is only a marketing plot.

Are you maybe using the DOS Window in a windows environment? This is not really DOS, it's the windows command line. Well, not much better anyways if you know unix already...

There is two big differences between unix and DOS/windows.
1. Unix is using "\n" for terminating lines and iirc also a different EOF character where DOS is using "\r\n".
2. DOS/Windows is using a different character set.

To recode files from dos to unix mode, you can use:
"recode ibmpc..latin1 <filename>".
But I have yet to find an equivalent in DOS/windows. I am getting around this by using BINARY mode only for ftp and a windows text editor capable of writing unix files directly.

Did you try changing the ASCII/BINARY mode setting of your ftp clients yet?

HTH,

Actually, this is because you probably don't have an FTP server running on the DOS side. You probably have an FTP client on DOS, which is why you can connect to a FTP server running on UNIX. You can't connect in the other direction because of a missing FTP server. When you mean DOS, do you mean a DOS window under M$ windows. If so, there are several (some free) FTP servers for Windows that you can download from the web.

was ist das ? hast du mein post gelesen, verstanden ?

thank you scorpion,
my prob, i assumed standard things like
ftp or zip are included in the win-distro

Offensichtlich nicht

So you are using windows, not DOS. This is why my answer doesn't fit.
There is no networking capabilities in DOS at all, that's why I was wondering. Nevermind.
