DOS FTP server testing needed

I went from FTP and Telnet as an undergrad (1989-1992) straight to a dark basement in IBM, and did not emerge again until 1995 or 1996. By then we were dabbling with HTTP. As for the PCjr, it seems to be happy at the moment. I won't know if I screwed up anything until I read the debug log. I have some warning messages for unusual situations that I look for - if anything else goes wrong I have to try to reconstruct the situation. A big part of the process isn't getting the TCP/IP code correct, but learning how to program in this environment. Buffer space is limited and most events are asynchronous. The programming environment is pretty barren - the lack of threading would probably be the most jarring limitation for a programmer used to current systems. That means keeping a lot of state per connection, constantly polling, and avoiding operations that can block for a long time. Gopher and HTTP will probably be easier now that I have got most of the techniques down. Gopher is possible. HTTP probably is not worth doing. Besides the novelty of it, HTTP isn't practical on hardware like this. FTP client and server is somewhat useful, and I need an FTP server so that I can do online maintenance for a telnet BBS that I'll finish in another 5 years. -Mike
