The MIDIPlex FTP server demonstrates that a functional, reliable file transfer protocol can be layered atop the constrained MIDI transport. By borrowing the command/response semantics of FTP and adding lightweight multiplexing and retransmission, we enable modern file operations on legacy musical hardware.
