FTPAddressBook

This command causes the FTP addressbook requester to be shown.

The requester is a listview of all the FTP sites in your
DOpus5:System/ftp.config.

Double click on an entry to connect or highlight the entry and select Edit
or Delete. Select New to add new entries.

Select Options to show the configuration sections:-

  Anon Pass:
    You may choose a specific password to be used for anonymous
    connections. This should usually be your email address.

  Log File:
    This is the file where log messages go. Most people will want a
    console file so that they can see log messages on screen.
    e.g. CON:////OpusFTP Log/Auto/Close

  Log:
    Turns the log display on or off to display messages from the remote
    site.

  Debug:
    Enables verbose log display.

  Update:
    Defines the delay between updating display of entries in a directory
    list. A higher value updates the display less often resulting in
    faster overall performance.

  Timeout:
    The timeout for FTP commands. (The default value is 60 seconds.)

  NOOP:
    This provides an idle timer mechanism to keep remote sites active. It
    sends the FTP command NOOP approximately every 30 seconds to prevent
    the remote site's inactivity timer from being triggered. By default
    this should be turned off. Do not activate this unnecessarily.

    Keeping your connection alive when you are not actually using it often
    prevents other users from accessing the site. Some ISPs frown on such
    behaviour.

  Index, Auto & Max Size:
    Many sites, especially Aminet, add a special index or comment file to
    each directory. This provides a short comment with extra information
    on each file. With Index turned on, the FTP module will check for the
    presence of files called 'INDEX' or 'Files.BBS' when scanning a new
    remote directory. If found, the index file will be automatically
    downloaded and the comments added to the file's Comment field.
    Generally these index files are small, less than 30Kb.

    If the Auto switch is off, files smaller than the Max Size value will
    be automatically downloaded. If the size of the index file exceeds
    this value, a requester will be presented asking if you wish to
    download the index.

    With Auto turned on, only files smaller than the Max Size will be
    downloaded. If the index file is larger than this value it will be
    ignored.

    Note:  Most of the index files on AmiNet sites are in a defined
    standard format. However this cannot be guaranteed and some files may
    display truncated comments.

The FTP module offers many extras such as site-to-site FTP and instant FTP
access by typing paths starting with "FTP://" into listers. See your
manual for further information.
