Everything works fine. However, I would like all users to be able to use tar and compression for getting the files, so that for example a user who wants to get a directory foo can type "get foo.tar.gz" and the server will tar and gzip it for him. I didn't make this work yet. The manpage for ftpconversions is very cryptical. This is what I have in /usr/local/etc/ftpaccess : compress yes local remote tar yes local remote And this in ftpconversions: :.Z: : :/bin/gzip -d -c %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:UNCOMPRESS : : :.Z:/bin/compress -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:COMPRESS :.gz: : :/bin/gzip -cd %s:T_REG|T_ASCII:O_UNCOMPRESS:GUNZIP : : :.gz:/bin/gzip -9 -c %s:T_REG:O_COMPRESS:GZIP : : :.tar:/bin/tar -c -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_TAR:TAR : : :.tar.Z:/bin/tar -c -Z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+COMPRESS : : :.tar.gz:/bin/tar -c -z -f - %s:T_REG|T_DIR:O_COMPRESS|O_TAR:TAR+GZIP The respective binaries are in their place. Has anyone made this work ? Michael
