ZXDB as FTP server?

Post by Hood »

Dears, is it possible to use ZXDB as standart FTP server, to dowload ZX stuff from there?

I am writing FTP client on ZX, so such an FTP source for ZX soft would be great. Thanks.

I wonder if one could set up some kind of local relay that converts standard FTP to SFTP - similar to what is sometimes needed for SMTP for systems that don't support TLS.

Good idea @Pobulous, but as that software is client based I'm assuming the MBO3+ user would need to install on a linked PC or similar?

I'm happy to provide a read-only login for testing.
