## Introduction
Translators are probably the most known feature of the Hurd, the first thing you should show when doing a demo.
## run
Couldn't manage to compile it, but allows you to do nice things with eg. fortune.
## ftpfs
hurd:~# settrans -c ftp /hurd/ftpfs 128.101.80.131:/
hurd:~# cd ftp
hurd:~/ftp# ls
debian debian-archive lost+found
hurd:~/ftp# cd debian
hurd:~/ftp/debian# ls
README README.mirrors.txt doc ls-lR.patch.gz

You have to specify the server address with its IP, or your computer will buy a farm or something.
## ftpfs and hostmux
currently (28/02/2004) not working, but should be.
hurd:~# settrans -c ftp /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
hurd:~# cd ftp
hurd:~/ftp# cd ftp.debian.org
-bash: cd: ftp.debian.org: Computer bought the farm
hurd:~/ftp# host ftp.debian.org
ftp.debian.org A 128.101.80.131
ftp.debian.org A 208.185.25.38
hurd:~/ftp# cd 128.101.80.131
-bash: cd: 128.101.80.131: Computer bought the farm
