mudFTP is a protocol used for transfer of text files.
Editor: mudFTP is a protocol used for transfer of text files Between a MUD server and a mudFTP client program. The text files can be notes, programs, room descriptions, etc. Once the file is transferred to the client, it is edited locally using the users favorite text editor.

Once installed on the server side, mudFTP will listen on another port - typically youd wand this to be 6 higher than the normal port (e.g. if your mud is on port 4444, your mudFTP port would be on port 4450).

You users then use the mudFTP client program to Connect. The client program identifies itself to the server with the MUD username/password and then waits for a request.

When a user with mudFTP enabled then edits a text using the text editing mechanism, it notices that there is a mudFTP connection and sends the text there instead of to the normal user screen. The users mudFTP client reads the text, saves it to a temporary file and spawns an editor. The user edits the file, and when satisfied, exits the editor. This causes the mudFTP client to send the text back to the server - which in turn replaces the text the user was editing with the new text from the client. you can free download mudFTP 2.4 now.
