Re: ftp/telnet server

     It sounds like you're reinventing the wheel and not making it much
rounder than the pervious versions. Have you considered using a generic
off-the-shelf plain vanilla FTP server?
     The Forth program could check for the presence of the file and when it
arrives do whatever processing is required.
     You could also set up a network shortcut under Windows to the place
where the file is expected to be on the remote machine and skip the FTP part
altogether. The first step in the processing would be to copy the file to
the local hard disk.
Unless of course your goal is to learn how to implement FTP clients and
servers in which case ... carry on!
