Subject: RE>AppleDouble ftpd?

I also thought this would be nice.

As a first approximation, it should be possible to use wuftp's on-the-fly conversion (see ftpconversions(5)); at least, this would allow a user to request "file.bin" and get "file" converted from AppleDouble to MacBinary.

Unfortunatly, I think most Mac users (Fetch, Anarchie) don't know about on-the-fly-conversion and will always get "file" from the server by double-clicking in the directory window, so this hack might be of little practical use.

Best regards

  I would like an ftpd that can recognize netatalk's .AppleDouble directories
and serve the files to Fetch or Anarchie in MacBinary or AppleSingle format.

	The purpose is to be able to provide the mac files on my netatalk
volume to people not on my local network.

	Does such a thing exist?  Patches to wuftpd would be bonus, but I'm not
getting my hopes up.
