This document is a major rewrite of the old
|
|
<ulink url="http://fsp.sourceforge.net/doc/faq.html">FSP FAQ</ulink>.
|
|
I started with this FAQ from scratch cause nearly all parts of the old FAQ where outdated. This new FAQ is maintained
|
|
in DocBook SGML. Send patches to the fsp-devel Mailinglist (FIXME link to id gethelpml) or directly to me
|
|
<email>sven@du-gehoerst-mir.de-nospam</email>. You should be able to find the latest SGML version of this FAQ in the
|
|
<ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=89835">fsp CVS at sf.net</ulink> or here

<title>What is FSP?</title>

<para>

FSP stands for &fsp;. In general FSP is what anonymous ftp should be, a fast and bandwith friendly
|
|
way to access publicly avaible data. FSP is UDP based so it doesn't have all the protocol overhead you've with TCP
|
|
based transfer protocols. You can find the latest protocol definition right here
|
|
<ulink url="http://fsp.sourceforge.net/doc/PROTOCOL.txt">http://fsp.sourceforge.net/doc/PROTOCOL.txt</ulink>
|
|
or in the source distribution in the "doc" subdirectory.

<para>

In the past various people maintained the FSP code base. At the moment Radim Kolar <email>hsn@cybermail.net-nospam</email>
|
|
is maintaining FSP. If you like to get involved take a look at the FSP
|
|
<ulink url="http://fsp.sourceforge.net">Homepage</ulink> and the
|
|
<ulink url="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/fsp/">FSP project page</ulink>.

<para>
|
|
The &fsp; has its strengths on slow lines and connections with a high package lose like a Wireless LAN. In general the &fsp; is
|
|
what anonymous FTP should be - a fast and bandwith friendly way for anonymous file access.
