Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] ZIP in DOS

It might be simpler to set up the Linux box as a FTP server,
and just use the NT FTP client to transfer files. This would
assume that both machines were set up with TCP/IP and could
ping each other. Samba would be useful to provide DOS directory
and print services, but for just transferring files FTP would work.
