Hi Thom,
(silly me ...)
because I heard of some N: device and handler for FujiNet I thought there must be some tools, so I started looking around.
Since I find github quite confusing I missed things in the first try.
Following some advice from Hias I managed to find the start page for FujiNet on github and hence a folder containing tools for the Atari.
So I started downloading tool by tool wich cost 5 clicks per tool, so 155 mouse clicks in total.
Then I tried the doc files and always got landed on a page where I could copy and paste the text from the doc from some line (but no file download) and hence started shouting swear words about github.
Only then I noticed that there was an archive-file containing everything ready to download on the top page. Any question? (Just to show how stupid I may be).
Then I took some glance at the tools and I noticed, that a tool to create disk images (from the Atari running a CLI DOS) already exists, and so do a lot of other tools.

ein leeres ATR lässt sich am Atari über FujiNet derzeit nur auf der SD-Karte erzeugen
(an empty ATR only can be created on the SD card)
Well, I am not sure if this is the truth. Public servers will be write protected. And there is some part in the TNFS setup instructions that tells how to set read-only permissions for tnfsd.exe.
Taking a glance at FNEW.DOC we can see:
COMMAND LINE:
FNEW <ds#> <hs#> <ns> <ss> <fname>
PARAMETERS:
<ds#> The device slot (1-8)
<hs#> The host slot (1-8)
<ns> # of sectors (1-65535)
<ss> Sector size (128 or 256)
<filename> The image filename.
So I guess creating a new disk image on a TNFS server is supported and will work unless the server is running read-only, is it?

I can work with you to show how the firmware can be extended, either to add new devices or commands.
Thanks a lot for that kind offer of yours. I can only program in BASIC, a bit of ACTION! and 65(C)02 assembler and I do not have any knowledge either in programming on the PC or non-6502 processors.
Maybe I will find some time to jump into this when I retire, but that will take another half decade.
Kind regards, Erhard
Just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you ...
