I appreciate this video but the latest version of FreeDOS doesn't have the files in the same locations, nor the same folder names. It's not difficult to figure out, but it's frustrating. Instead of the C:\FDOS, it's now defaulting to C:\FREEDOS. The MTCP install is also now installed in the "NET" parent directory just off root, and the sample.cfg is found in the c: et\mtcp\samples , not the c:\...\doc\mtcp .
Hi @@StingyIT... Appreciate very much your careful walk through step by step. I too am working with the updated FreeDOS described by @JonPrevost. I was able to get as far as 17:50/30:05 in the video with same error you get there. You cleared it, by a simple reboot from harddrive. However, after reboot, I'm stuck with the same error, however slightly differently worded: Init: could not setup packet driver Could not initialize TCP/IP stack
@@markkleiman6531 I had a similar issue, and although there is a documentation for mTCP, I find it hard to follow it, gather and apply the information I need to solve the problem. I hope Jim Hall will make a video about how to set-up a FTP server or fix the wiki
FreeDos has an updating system which needs a network connection. It should be used sparingly, perhaps via VM which collects new packages. Dos networking is very naked, security wise. It should be limited to private, in house use only. Virtualbox or other VM softare allows one Host machine to run an entire network of DOS systems. I have run the PfSense firewall under virtualbox. Your virtual network can have a dedicated firewall too. There are even DOS Web Servers, for strictly in House use. Good Luck and stay safe..
I'm not too worried. If something happens to that system (a physical 486) I will just reinstall it. Especially since its already behind a NAT and a good firewall in my router

Thank YOU so much for this video !!! It made me understand how to setup and how ftpsrv works in FreeDOS on Oracle virtualbox.

Thank you for letting me know. Yes, a lot has changed in the recent version of FreeDOS.

Thank you. FreeDOS Server? Yes, that's an idea ;)
