I had similar issues hosting files on modern systems and kept running into ntlm issues with older win3.1 clients. I ended up moving all my hosted folders to a FTP server and this seemed more consistent when using something like ws_ftp and mTCP on older clients.

Just grab the telnet and ftp clients from Windows for Workgroups 3.11. They work in my 286 Win 3.1 set up just fine.\
You'll need Trumpet Winsock with winpkt loaded first.

There's a glitch in the matrix.

Why bother with Trumpet? Try MS TCP32B instead. It comes with an FTP client. Of course this depends on you having a driver for it besides a packet driver.

In Windows 3.11? You must be joking. It doesn't support networking but Windows for Workgroups 3.11 does though and can use tcp32b. Trumpet Winsock works perfectly fine in Windows 3.11.

its wfw 3.11 im using for clearing up any confusion, since it already had network features part of it and aint that much different, so id need a general ftp program for it.

Looks like WS FTP is software of choice
FTP client/server for Win 3.1

That's a good point, "Windows 3.11" I assume is WfW which sounds like is the case here, but may not be always.
I've never looked into whether the tcp/ip stack that comes with MSIE 3.x is dialup-only or can also do Ethernet.

Yeh WFW seemed to ship more often then not once 3.11 was out, enough that people simply dropped for workgroups.
But this was early days of networking and MS branding wasn't so much in your face so plenty of people installed Trumpet Winsock on 3.11 WFW as thats what the Windows 3x guide said you had to do to get on the internet.

As for WS FTP, no idea never used it myself but you could send a PM to the guys on the other post.
Personally I use windows networking. It's slow, a bit temperamental and have to copy files from my daily PC to a XP which can then copy to 3x so no not the most efficient but feels more authentic IMHO

Which version of trumpet works on 286? I tried 3.0d and it crashed trying to run the installer

EDIT: found version 2.0B which works great. Now to search for 286 compatible software that can use it
