Ah good news. Basicly FTP.EXE already suffices, except for the following: * FTP-only, no http/https * requires entering commands or external script as input * no renaming for storing (www.mysite.com/somelongfilename.zip --> c:\short.zip) > [2] WOL-client. Pretty easy, but seems to be of limited use. It's limited indeed, like starting up a fileserver to store files or retrieve backups. Still has its uses occasionally. > [3] IPv6 - this is very feasible.

I chose 8KB as a compromise. (Look at > the docs for the environment variables.) I've not looked at sourcecode yet. Currently busy with 1) Update script to recreate ISO from bootdisk/bootcd + optional modifications, preferably without touching physical disks. 2) Getting the startup script to mount CD/ISO/RAM properly 3) Avoiding file corruption ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
