Thank's Phil

I say that before because if you press ctrl+H in the ccpec_xxxxx routines, the help answer has the 'zserver lib' label.

Best regards

Hi Phil

Dismounting and remounting the filesystem after every sspec_write() is a good solution but if I am running a FTP server simultaneously the dismounting will interrupt any ongoing file transfer. Before dismounting I would like to check if there is any file being transfered and wait with the mounting process until the transfer is complete.

Is there any way to check if there has been any activity on the FTP server during the ftp_tick() so I can safely dismount the filesystem without losing data?

BR,
Flanders

There's a http_idle(void) but not sure if a similar function exists for
ftp. I don't use the ftp functions in any of my systems so not really
played with it, so i cant be much help

Sorry

Phil
