Re: Optical Library

[John Hall <jhall@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was able to ftp to the optical.  I can't seem to get the cpy to work.  
I don't know if it is incapable of coping data or that I am just
specifying it incorrectly
cpy doesn't seem to be able to make a binary file that is a copy of a
save file.
I get "Object is not a directory" error when I try to use it.  It would
seem that if FTP can do it there should be another way to do it.  Or is
it possible to run a separate FTP server that will only respond
internally.  Occasionally I need a regular ftp server running but most
of the time I prefer not to have it active.

Any idea's
