I'm try to get a an Explorer and a `bare' Macintosh (not a MicroExplorer
or MacIvory) to talk to one another over TCP.  I'm running NCSA Telnet
2.3 on the Mac.  I'm able to run telnet from the Mac to the Explorer but
I can't transfer files between them.

NCSA Telnet doesn't provide any file transfer commands so all file
transfer requests must come from the other node.  (In spite of its name
NCSA Telnet does do FTP as well.)

This is my namespace entry for the Mac:

    :ALIASES                  NIL
    :ADDRESSES                ((:IP "128.119.41.107"))
    :SERVICES                 ((:FILE :LOCAL :LOCAL-FILE)
                               (:STATUS :TCP :IP-STATUS)
                               (:FILE :TCP :FTP)
                               (:LOGIN :TCP-STREAM :TELNET)
                               (:MAIL-TO-USER :TCP-STREAM :SMTP)
                               (:TIME :UDP :TIME-SIMPLE-MSB)
                               (:SHOW-USERS :TCP-STREAM :ASCII-NAME))
    :MACHINE-TYPE             :MACINTOSH
    :SYSTEM-TYPE              :MAC-OS
    :PATHNAME-FLAVOR          FS::MAC-PATHNAME
    :DEFAULT-DEVICE           "Internal"
    :PRIMARY-DEVICE           "Internal"
    :FTP-IMPLEMENTATION-TYPE  :MINIMUM

I've also tried :SYSTEM-TYPE :UNIX-UCB and :FTP-IMPLEMENTATION-TYPE
:BASIC.  In all cases, I get directory not found errors when I try to
list a directory or copy a file (using LISTF and COPY-FILE).

I can use the window interface to TCP (the function FTP) to list
directories and transfer files.  However, I can only transfer files in
image mode which doesn't do ascii translation.  Running such a file
through a filter adds another step to the process.

Any help in getting a more integrated solution would be greatly
appreciated.
