Short: Gui-FTP V1.1.0 GUI based FTP client
Author: Kevin Preece <kev@qsilver.demon.co.uk>
Uploader: Kevin Preece <kev@qsilver.demon.co.uk>
Type: comm/tcp
The latest version of my GUI based FTP client. Requires at least Workbench
2.04 and AmiTCP V3.0b2 (or better of course).
V1.1.0
Changes
- The main window has been made resizable.
- All windows and requesters now use your preferred monospace font (i.e.
the system default text font). The main window uses your preferred
proportional font too.
- Improved the aesthetics of the requesters (IMO).
- If the server send messages when a changing to a new directory these
are now shown in the log window.
- Added "Get" button to remote list so that "invisible" files may be
retrieved (i.e. they exist, can be downloaded but cannot be seen).
- A couple of spurious messages removed when cancelling requseters.
- SYST and STAT commands (sent during login to server) reduced in
severity, they no longer cause disconnection if not supported by
the server.
- The update messages written to the log window during transfers are
no longer written to the permanent log.
- A warning that ASCII transfer is not completely implemented is
displayed if it is selected as a transfer type. (Will be removed
when I implement ASCII fully).
- The size of the main window has been enlarged to accomodate some
extra gadgets with the result that the program will no longer run
on workbench screens smaller than 640x256.
- Now has some visual feedback (the cursor changes shape) so that it
is obvious when functions finish.
- Passwords for user id's other than 'anonymous' and 'ftp' (i.e. for
non-anonymous FTP) will no longer be shown in either the Gui-FTP log
window or the permanent log file.
Bugs Fixed
- Removed several enforcer hits (byte and longword reads from various
low memory addresses). I think I've got them all now.
- Finally nailed the bug that caused a GURU if the connection timed out
while waiting for data to arrive from the server.
- Missing links in the AmigaGuide documentation fixed.
- The section on installing the program referred to the environment
variable 'HOSTNAME'. This is incorrect it should have read 'HOST'.
