Great!, I didn't know that your project was so advanced. After so many years everything seems to converge towards fulfil multiplied the promises made on the old adverts.

Hehehe, Bruce .... :) And you mailed me that not so much progress you had since the major forum activity about EPNET :) Well, I would call this *PROGRESS*. Really :) Not even just a "minor one" :) But that's true, that "not so much" is a relative notion :) Looks really great!!

Not for a while I'm afraid...it's not quite as finished as it looks :mrgreen:

The PCB will need another revision, there are still some issues to look into, and there is still quite a bit of software to write. Progress has been slower than I hoped, but as you can see it's getting there :)

If you are using an FTP server in the cloud, yes :) Although I haven't tried that yet as my little workshop in a shed outside is not (yet) connected to the internet!

If you achieve connecting it to Internet, it could be wonderful if you access the FTP server of this web (https://enterpriseforever.com/other-topics/how-i-can-access-ftp/msg37111/#msg37111) and use it to upload or download something....

Thanks gflorez that will be very useful for testing on a "proper" ftp server beyond my little workshop network!

Actually, it would even work with eg dropbox "shared link" files, since it's HTTP (if EPNET EXOS integration support HTTP too, not only FTP). Unfortunately it's only "would" since - it seems - dropbox only supports HTTPS and it redirects in case of HTTP. Unfortunately w5300 does not do SSL/TLS by hardware, and it's simply just too much for a Z80 class CPU to do it at its own, I assume ...

Well it would certainly be slower!
