for a password, just enter anonymous in the user ID field, and

your full email address as the password.

Troubleshooting

Problems Connecting to an FTP Site

Problems Transferring Files

Problems Renaming and Deleting Files

Problems Connecting to an FTP Site

Problem: I cannot connect to an FTP site.

Solution: Make sure you have an active dial-up or direct Internet connection. FTP Navigator is not a dialer; it calls the Winsock DLL and uses the dialer or direct connection specified there.

·	Make sure your modem is set to hardware flow control if you are using a SLIP or PPP connection.

·	If you get a "Can't open file for write" message from Windows, exit to DOS, enter SET and make the folders specified by your TMP and TEMP environment variables.

Problem: I cannot log on to an FTP site.

Solution: Make sure you are using a valid login name and password. Otherwise, try selecting the Anonymous check box in the Site Properties; or, contact the administrator of the FTP site to which you are trying to connect.

Problem: My connection closes after n minutes of inactivity.

Solution: The FTP server determines the connection timeout, and most FTP servers close the connection after a few minutes of inactivity. This setting can be changed only by the FTP site administrator, not from FTP Commander.

Problem: FTP Navigator can only connect to sites using the IP address, for example, 125.255.255.1.

Solution: Configure the DNS (Domain Name Server) in your stack. Talk to your network administrator or your Internet provider for the proper values for DNS.

Problem: FTP Navigator doesn't work with my AOL connection.

Solution: Older versions of AOL use a 16-bit TCP/IP stack that will not work with 32-bit TCP/IP applications. For more information on AOL's Winsock support, see the FTP section in your AOL application.

Problems Transferring Files

Problem: I cannot open a folder on the FTP site or transfer a file.

Solution: Check your file and folder access permissions on the FTP site. These permissions may only be set by the FTP site administrator; they cannot be changed by FTP Commander.

Problems Renaming and Deleting Files

Problem: I can't rename a file on an FTP server.

Solution: You may not have renaming privileges on the server.

Problem: I can't rename a file on an FTP server, even though I have renaming privileges.

Solution: You may be trying to use a long name on an FTP server that doesn't allow long names. Try a name of eight characters or less.

Problem: I can't delete a file from an FTP site.

Solution: You may not have deletion privileges on the FTP site.

Our objective is to provide the very best in software technology, service

consulting services through a number of targeted divisions.

Vista has the talent and resources to produce comprehensive applications

embodying client/server techniques across a range of technologies to

support your business objectives. Vista is uniquely positioned to cover the

entire solution development cycle, from creating a simple custom

application to providing project management services for large-scale

development efforts.

We have extensive experience with the entire development life cycle

including:

          Process Analysis

          Requirements Definition

          Project Planning

          Technology Assessment

          System Analysis and Design

          Rapid Prototyping

          Application Development

          Application Support

Our expertise in the development of custom applications stems from our

comprehensive understanding of a wide range of advanced technologies,

our diversified programming skills and our exceptional software engineering

capabilities.

To stay competitive, you're constantly searching for better ways to

orchestrate the flow of information. We can get the people in your

company working together like never before. Not by just adding more

computers, necessarily, but by helping realign your information systems

with your organizations goals and objectives. You will then have the ability

and flexibility to react quickly to changing conditions and customer

demands.

The Vista provides the highest possible value for the client, plus a fulfilling

career and positive environment for our team members.

Because we believe that the quality of product deliverables is directly

correlated to the way the development project is managed, we've built a

project management team exceptionally skilled at optimizing productivity.

Vista has experience in the design, development, and implementation of

database-oriented applications ranging from standalone single-CPU

packages to networked client/server designs crossing multiple operating

system platforms. Vista programmers use the latest tools and techniques

in database applications design and are fluent in all current development

environments, such as Delphi, C++ and Java.

At the conclusion of the development cycle and prior to delivery of your

product, bug finding and fixing rather than development become the

primary focus. After the creative process of finding development solutions

and after your application has been appropriately coded, it is tested,

debugged, tested some more, then tested again.

Our team environment flattens the learning curve; we share knowledge and

experience to help each other become as productive as possible. In return,

the client gets the highest level of skills for the services they require.

Why outsource development?

Improve your business processes and boost productivity.

Introduce an otherwise unavailable depth of expertise by hiring a company,

not just a programmer. Our team of professionals is not only thoroughly

trained in Client/server technologies, but they also have the business

experience to help you completely re-engineer your business processes.
