    I was thinking maybe ftp transfers might be a good alternative, hub your stuff thru another bbs platform and then do local ftp for the ftn networking.

    Hi Matt,

    FTP was the main protocol used 20+ years ago in Fidonet until BinkP took over so unless your system or the Node you are calling can't do BinkP there is not much point in using FTP.

    I am using FTP with one of my downlinks due to an error between Irex and Synchronet which I belive is now fixed but we are too lazy to change it.

    Terry
