Yes I was thinking of something across the Internet, that's why I talked about the simplicity with only having to care about one tcp/ip port.
But I agree that protocols without authentication like this are pretty much useless across Internet anyway. It would be much more useful to use something like iSCSI that at least has some kind of authentication in that case.
Hi Olof...
I agree that this would not be of much use for most of the people...
But for some of us it is very useful...
One of my goals is to replace my TFTP get/put transfer methods with other tool...
I only launch the TFTP server in user mode when I need to transfer something ;-)
Of course firewall needs to be configured...
I also use SMB and SFTP... but the DevIO transfer is much faster...
If you control the Server and the Client PC, communicating over a single port
for some simple and controlled file transfer
with a tool like this you can replace this protocols...
I dare to suggest you consider about putting the 'shim' you use in imDisk
for proxyfing Devio as a drive letter
in a small command line (or simple gui tool)
that we can invoke/launch to connect to devio ip:port
and get a drive letter for file transfer
Then when we close the tool the connection will drop
and drive letter qould not be available anymore...
(no need for fancy security handling... a thing á la NetCat... but a little more evolved)
Thx.
