Setting Up TNFS

TNFS (Spectranet File System) is a network file system protocol designed for 8-bit systems like the ZX Spectrum. It allows you to access files stored on a computer or server over the network.

What is TNFS?​

With TNFS, you can easily access files and folders stored on your computer or server directly from your ZX Spectrum, as if they were on a local drive. TNFS lets you browse directories, load and save files, and perform standard file operations right over your home network, all using simple commands. It's designed to be fast and straightforward to use on 8-bit systems like the Spectrum, so you can quickly mount remote folders and work with your files without complicated setup.

Mounting TNFS from Spectrum​

Once you have a TNFS server running and your Spectrum is connected to WiFi, you can mount the TNFS filesystem.

Using BASIC Commands​

From Spectrum BASIC, you can mount a TNFS filesystem using the %mount command:

%mount 0, "remote.domain"

Parameters:

  • 0 - Mount point (0-3)
  • remote.domain - Remote server

Using TNFS​

Once mounted, you can use standard file operations:

Listing Files​

%cat

Loading programs​

%aload ""
