  Some discussion was posted on this a little while ago - first, make
   sure your unix environment variable DNETHOST is set to either ' '
   or '3', depending on whether the socket in your DNETDIR is named 
   DNET. or DNET.3.  If it's not, you can't use the copy servers.

  Also, make sure your default privileges are properly set by 
   using the -X option when you run on the Amiga end.  Otherwise you
   have to login through the passwd server to get sufficient privilege
   to read/write files.

  Good luck!
