I fiddled with (actually hacked http://lthaler.free.fr/lftp.htm ) a program
to
ftp between Palm/AS400. This was very tricky. The Palm socket implementation
barely works and things have to be done in weird and non-standard ways.
Not that easy, I'm afraid, although I did get it to work. But what should
have been
an afternoons work turned out to take two weeks, and there are things in the
code that I still don't understand why it has to be the way it is.
