You mentioned Win32 version of FM, but said it was MS-DOS 7.1. Is it in Windows, or is it running in DOS with some sort of compatibility layer? What networking stack is it using?

Long filenames: mTCP checks the filename format and gives up. Get allows you to special a local filename to save to. I'll look into DOSLFN.
