DOS ain't dead - FTP ASCII vs binary "image"

FTP ASCII vs binary "image" (Announce)

posted by Japheth , Germany (South), 24.07.2010, 15:31

I also just did a brief test of mTCP's FTP client and ftp.openwatcom.org. I tried to download 2 files, running mTCP's ftp.exe and also the Win32 version of "Far Manager" (FM) - both in MS-DOS 7.1. The results are:

- file devel/gui.pdf. No client did loose packets. mTCP needed 25 sec for this file, while FM did it in about 8 seconds.

- file devel/open-watcom-w32api.0.4.zip. mTCP reports an error that it cannot create the file and aborts - the error is reported regardless if DOSLFN is loaded or not. FM had no problems.

I have a RT8139 card installed and use RTSPKT.COM packet driver.

MS-DOS forever!
