- Welcome to the WFTPD Pro 2.41, the current version of WFTPD Pro.
-
- This is the thirty day trial version of WFTPD Pro - it will only
- run for thirty days after it is installed.
-
- If you want to use the automated installation script, and you are
- running Windows NT 4.0 (Server or Workstation), then please run
- the program "SETUP.EXE". If you received the self-extracting
- installation program "WFTPDPRO.EXE", simply running that will
- also run the setup program. If you are using Windows NT 3.51,
- or want to install manually, please read on.
-
- This file contains manual installation instructions, in case you
- have problems with the automated installation, or are running Windows
- NT 3.51. Note that, if you received this program on a floppy, its
- contents are compressed - you can use the "EXPAND.EXE" program to
- uncompress the files ending in '_'. WFTPD.EX_ becomes WFTPD.EXE,
- WFTPD.HL_ becomes WFTPD.HLP, INI2REG.EX_ becomes INI2REG.EXE, and
- WFTPD.CP_ becomes WFTPD.CPL. The syntax to do this is:
- expand -r *.??_

- Installation
- ============
-
- Uninstall previous version
- --------------------------
- First, make sure you stop and remove any current WFTPD Pro version, if
- you have one already installed:
- 1. Stop the WFTPD Pro service, either from the WFTPD Pro Control Panel
- Applet, or from the Services Control Panel Applet, or by typing:
- NET STOP "WFTPD PRO"
- at a command prompt, or in the "Start|Run" command box.
- 2. Remove WFTPD Pro from the services list - find the copy of WFTPD.EXE
- that holds WFTPD Pro, and run "WFTPD -remove". It will then tell you
- that the service has been successfully removed, and invites you to
- remove the executable file also. You'll need to be an administrative
- user to do this (or have whatever rights are required to remove/add a
- service)
-
- Next, you may want to delete (or backup) all trace of older versions - the
- files to work on are WFTPD.EXE, WFTPD.CPL, WFTPD.CNT and WFTPD.HLP. The
- first of these will be wherever you installed WFTPD Pro to, and the last
- three should be in your Windows NT SYSTEM32 subdirectory (note that this
- version still doesn't run under Windows 95).
-
- Now, copy the new version from this zip file into place - WFTPD.EXE, again,
- goes wherever you want it, and the WFTPD.{CPL,CNT,HLP} files _must_ go into
- the SYSTEM32 subdirectory of your Windows NT installation. Once again, you
- need to be an administrative user (or have sufficient rights to add a
- service) to install the WFTPD Pro service, which you do by running
- "WFTPD -install" once you have placed WFTPD.EXE in its final directory. It
- should pop up a dialog box confirming its correct installation. The
- INI2REG.EXE file is optional, and should only be used to convert a WFTPD.INI
- file (used by WFTPD) to registry entries that can be used by WFTPD Pro.
- Both INI2REG.EXE and its associated help file, INI2REG.HLP, are generally
- installed with WFTPD.EXE. Also placed here are the various text files,
- so that you can read them at your leisure.
-
- The final step, of course, is to bring the Control Panel back up (you did
- close it when you tried to delete and/or replace WFTPD.CPL, didn't you?),
- and alter the Startup values for the WFTPD Pro service through the Services
- applet, and start running and configuring WFTPD Pro.
