Changes in S-FTP since version 1.00:
1) Text files in the Directory List are now loaded to the viewer by
single clicking on the file to highlight it and then clicking the view
push button.
2) The Download List may now be populated from a viewed text file. This
works for files such as the Hobbes 00index.txt files. For this function
to work, the filename must be in the first position in the line of the
text file.
3) While files are downloading, you can now continue to populate the
download list box. You can download files while you are viewing the
directory list or 00index.txt files in the viewer and continue to
transfer file names to the Download List. Files will be downloaded in
the order of transfer to the download list.
4) Lengthy processes, such as logon and downloading are now placed
in separate threads. This makes the application much more responsive
and doesn't lock the application while processes are completed.
5) Added download path setting and config menu option.
6) Added Delete Host and Add Host buttons to allow configuring the
host list.
7) Added several progress indicators to tell the user what is happening.
8) S-FTP will now download files from outside the current remote
directory. You can build the download list from various directories
or 00index.txt files. The download list will remember paths to those
files and retrieve them when you download.
9) Added capability to configure host user name, password, default
directory.
10) Improved the logon process. It is more streamlined and provides
better progress reporting.
v1.05
11) Added upload capability.
v1.06
12) Added capability to resize the main SFTP window.
13) Added audible beep to signify completion of download list.
14) Added date/time sort button for directory list.
15) Added auto date/time sorting check box for auto sorting
whenever the directory list is updated.
16) Added double click .txt files to viewer check box option.
17) Changed the directory list default font to system monospace.
*NOTE: all of the 1.06 changes were made at the request of users.
I have more and I am working on them.
v1.07
18) Fixed the date sorting routine. It didn't work right. Now if
the Date Sort box is checked, the directory list will be downloaded
in descending date order.
v1.08
19) Added back up directory button <<.
20) Increased directory text box character capacity.
v1.09 21) Added capability to save window size and position.
v1.09a 22) Fixed a compatibility problem with earlier versions and the
path.txt file. Users of previous versions can now keep their old
path.txt file, whereas v1.09 required replacing it.
v1.10 23) Fixed a problem with the progress indicator not functioning on
FAT partitions. Thank you to Jeff Glatt for his wonderful FILEREXX
utilities. The FILEREXX.DLL is now required for SFTP.
v1.20 24) Improved download progress indicator to provide percent
statistic.
25) Added download progress indicator for the viewer.
26) Added aliases, now you can have multiple aliases with different
download directories, user and password for each host.
27) Changed behavior in the host listbox so that a double click
on the host alias automatically logs on the the remote host.
28) Added quick list type function to quickly add the current host
and directory to the alias list. Clicking on a Add Host now
automatically sets up the current directory with an alias in the
add host option window.
29) Added direct host logging. Typing a host with a directory, ie.
hobbes.nmsu.edu/incoming in the host edit box and then clicking on
logon will automatically logon to the host without having to set
up a specific host alias.
30) Changed the directory listbox behavior so that you can press
enter or double click to select an entry.
31) Added the capability to press the escape key in the viewer to
close the viewer window.
32) Fixed the download routine so that it adjusts filenames to
conform to the 8.3 requirement when downloading to a FAT drive.
33) Made adjustments to the multi-threading components to
improve responsiveness.
v1.21 34) Changed the behavior of sftp so that it no longer pops to the
foreground after download completion.
35) Added automatic logging. Now all downloads are logged to a file
called sftplog that is located in the sftp directory. This log is
useful if you want to check to see from which host and directory
you received a particular file. You can also logon to a host from the
log file by selecting log and view log from the menu and then double
clicking on an entry in the viewer.
36) Added Host Edit button.
37) Changed alias list action so that a single click on the host list
will display the host name and logon directory.
38) Changed the host add/edit window so that a single click instead
of a double click in the alias list will display its settings.
v1.22 39) Added support for the lr style directory entries.
40) Fixed problem with the alias/host editor.
41) Added abort function (it is slow, but works for long downloads).
42) Cleaned up a few problems with the text messages on the interface.
43) Fixed a problem with the logoff/logon routines.
