Hello!.

Already know what i was doing wrong yesterday. I was trying to reproduce from 
the
beginning the whole process without 'deactivate' in the fist place all the nodes
with settrans -fg, and so the Translator died. Once erased all the nodes: /,
/hurd/ftpfs, /hurd/hostmux and ftp: i am able to begin again and now i'm
mounting my personal FTP account into the filesystem and operating with it
like with any other directory, with the Unix commands. This is very useful
and really very powerful.

Thanks.

Regards.
Jose Luis.
