| Windows Sockets FTP Client Application - - Version 93.12.05
=====================================================================
Description:
This application is a standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client
application for Windows Sockets. The user interface for this FTP
client is designed with the novice FTP user in mind. Usage should
be obvious. For more information on FTP please refer to the many
different NETNEWS groups or one of the recent books on the Internet.
Requirements:
WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL
and requires Windows 3.1 or later. My testing and personal
installation is with the Trumpet WinSock Alpha 18.
(There may be some problems with IBM OS/2 TCP/IP and with NOVELL!)
Installation:
YOU MUST HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED WINSOCK.DLL FOR THIS APPLICATION
TO WORK. REFER TO YOUR WINSOCK.DLL DOCUMENTATION FOR SETUP!! YOU
MUST ALSO HAVE YOUR LOCAL PC NAME AND ADDRESS IN THE HOSTS FILE!
1. Copy the executable WS_FTP.EXE into any desired directory.
| 2. Copy the WS_FTP.INI file into your Windows directory.
| 3. Create an ICON in any Program Manager group.
a. Use the File Manager and drag the program into a Program
Manager group.
b. Use [F]ile [N]ew in the Program Manager.
Options:
Viewer This is the program that is invoked for LongDir and
Display buttons.
EMail This is used as the default password for anonymous
logins as required by most anonymous ftp sites.
Auto Connect Controls whether or not WS_FTP displays the connect
dialog box when it first starts.
Verbose (should be labeled debug) Enables extra debug messages
in the debug window.
Prompt Enables local/remote filename prompting.
Hash unimplemented
Store Unique unimplemented
Receive Unique Causes received file names to not conflict with existing
files.
PORT Cmds JUST LEAVE THIS ON FOR THE TIME BEING!
CR Stripping unimplemented
Bell Causes bell to sound at end of file transfers
Globbing unimplemented
Case unimplemented
Transfer Mode
ASCII Used for TEXT file tranferring
Binary Used for non-TEXT file transferring
L8 Used for VMS non-TEXT file transferring
Hints:
1. To set the default local startup directory to be something
other than where WS_FTP is located
a. Highlight the WS_FTP icon and press ALT-ENTER.
b. Change the Working Directory to your desired directory.
2. If you have problems with remote to local file name conversions,
check the Prompt option in the Options dialog box. You will
then be shown the proposed file name and allowed to change it.
3. If you get a message that you can't get the "ftp" entry, you
probably don't have your WINSOCK.DLL setup correctly. As an
example, when using Trumpet WinSock, I find it works best if
you put WINSOCK.DLL, PROTOCOL, SERVICES, HOSTS, TCPMAN.EXE
and TRUMPWSK.INI all in the Windows directory. Either that or
start TCPMAN before you start WS_FTP.
4. If you want to change to a directory without traversing the full
tree, make sure there is no name selected in the list box and
click on ChgDir (works with RmDir also).
5. You can double click on a directory name to change to that
directory or double click on a file name to transfer that file.
6. Use Binary mode to transfer all files unless you know the file
only contains text, then use ASCII.
7. If you use Display to display a remote file and then wish to
save that file and have the viewer set to NOTEPAD, you can
select the SaveAs menu option and save the file to whatever
name you want.
| 8. To transfer multiple files, use the SHIFT or CTRL keys when
| selecting filenames. (this is a standard windows method)
|
| 9. You can drag one of more files from the Windows File Manager and
| drop them anywhere on the main window (or when iconized) and
| they will be transfered to the current directory of the remote
| host using the current transfer mode (ascii/binary). You cannot
| drag and drop directories, nor can you drag or drop from the
| remote host to another application.
|
| 10. If you can connect to a remote host but don't get a directory
| listing try changing the host type in the connect dialog box.
| I am still working on the "auto detect". It does take care of
| about 80% of all hosts.
|
| biochemistry.cwru.edu use KA9Q/NOS
| ftp.uwp.edu use WinQVT/Net
Latest Version:
The latest version of this application should always be the file
/pub/msdos/winsock.files/ws_ftp.zip on ftp.usma.edu (129.29.64.246).
To access it, enter 129.29.64.246 as the host name and check the
"anonymous login" box in the WS_FTP connect dialog box.

If you like this program, let other people know about it!
Post your comments in comp.protocol.tcp-ip.ibmpc.
If you want to help...
Source code to this program is freely available in the WS_FTP.ZIP file.
If you make a change, let me know about it. I also need someone to
write a Windows Help file for this thing. If you then send me the source
to that, I will code context sensitive help into WS_FTP.

This program executable and all source code is released into the public
domain. It would be nice to give me a little credit for any use of this
code. The primary purpose of this application was to learn what it
takes to write a Windows Sockets Application.
The user interface for this FTP client is designed with the novice FTP
user in mind. Usage should (??) be obvious with the possible exception
of the transfer mode; ascii, binary or l8. All controls are standard
Windows controls.
