What is supload?
================

Supload is a client program that works much the same way tupload works in
Term.  That is, you can simply type "supload file" and it will upload the
file to the other end of the link (uploading from the home machine to the
remote is only possible if you run a Unix variant).

Setting up for supload
=====================

To be able to "upload" from the remote side (where slirp is running) to the
local machine, you need to:

a) Setup an ftp daemon on your home machine that will accept anonymous ftp
logins, and make a directory called "incoming" in the ftp home dir which is
writable by the anon user.

b) Put the following in your ~/.slirprc file (order is important!):

log start
redir ftp


To be able to upload from the home machine to the remote side, you need to:

a) Compile and install slirp.ftpd on the remote end.

b) Create a directory called ~/incoming which is writable by you.


Using supload
=============

Because a slirp link isn't symmetric like in Term, you need to tell supload
when it's uploading to your home machine and when it's uploading to the
remote.  To upload to the remote, you need to supply the option -r.  Since
all uploads from the home machine will always need the -r option, you can
simply put in a global alias supload='supload -r'.


That's it.  Have fun.
