I decided to give that a shot, however, as I expected, that gave no
output either.
---OUTPUT---
Last login: Tue Aug 12 10:50:24 2003 from xxxx.yyyy.com

Somehow, nothing is getting passed. Like I said before, it could be the
distribution. If anyone has any free time, download it and see what I'm

It's such a wonderful quick solution, It would be nice to get this so it
can act as a "substitute" for a normal ftp server (and even better for
some cases only using a single port).
Adieu,
Johnny
