netstat dependencies

Component Help for TCP/IP utilities says that netstat.exe is included. It is
not (neither is arp.exe although it is also listed). So I added the netstat
component to my small footprint configuration that only has a command line
interface. The size of the configuration nearly doubled with large components
such as IE and SNMP being pulled in. Most of the computing world (including
regular XP as far as I can tell) knows netstat as a command line, text based
program so what is the dependency on IE and about 60 other components all
about? Can I integrate a netstat like component that won't double my
configuration's footprint?

Also, I could not find an ftp client in the component database. Is there one --
especially one that is text based and has a small footprint?

Roger,

I believe the NetStat and Arp utilities are part of the
Misc. Command Line Tools Component. Do a search for this
component in Target Designer.

Robert,
I think my message indicated that I didn't have trouble finding netstat
(although it wasn't in the TCP/IP Utilities macro component as advertised). The
problem I have is in understanding why adding it to my configuration results in
a 40MByte increase in size when netstat is a text based, command line utility.
I'd like netstat but not at a cost of 40Mbytes and 60 other components including
IE pulled in during depedency resolution.

Roger,

Sorry, I misunderstood your post. Have you tried just
pulling the netstat.exe from the system32 directory off an
XP Pro Box? This should work for you.

Robert
 
Can anyone tell me if such a practice is consistent with the licensing
agreement?

Roger,

I think Robert is giving you an option as a quick test for functionality,
not a production fix. If simply copying the exe from an XP Pro machine works
on your runtime, then take the next step.

Locate the exe in your main repository for XPe. Copy it to a new folder, and
make a component that has this file, and it's destination location
specified. Add this component to your slx in TD. All set!
