Site Name - the site's descriptive name. Address - the FTP site's internet address. Type - the type of FTP site. In most cases this should not be changed from auto-detect. Port - the port that should be accessed to connect to the FTP site. In most cases this should be port number 21. Username - the username that the site needs to identify the caller. Password - the password for the username. Account - the name of the account that will be specified during login if the FTP site requests one. Directory - the initial directory on the FTP site.

Convert uploaded file names to FAT format - ensures that all uploaded files have file names no longer than 8 characters and extensions no longer than 3 characters.

This profile will be used to connect to the firewall to gain access to the local area network before connecting to the site. For instance, you would like to connect to an FTP site on your company's network from your computer at home. This would require you to pass through your comapny's firewall first. The set default button displays a window where you can select which properties to change for all sites. The values to be used are taken from the site properties. ═══ 1.10.

Internet mail rushton@netcom.ca Regular mail Jason Rushton 81 Calais Street Whitby, Ontario Canada L1N 5M3 The latest version of FTP Browser will always be available for download from the following internet FTP archives and WWW pages: ftp.cdrom.com /.4/os2/internet hobbes.nmsu.edu /pub/os2/internet ftp.bmtmicro.com /bmtmicro http:www.bmtmicro.com/catalog/0internet.html ftp.leo.org /pub/comp/os/os2/tcpip/ftp os2.musthave.com / http:www.os2ss.com/internet/ftp/ bbs.os2bbs.com Area #35 ═══ 5. About FTP Browser ═══ Copyright 1996, 1997 Jason Rushton. FTP Browser is a powerful and intuitive FTP solution for OS/2 Warp that features drag and drop, server to server and directory tree transfers accross a variety of hosts. The following features will surely enhance your FTP experience:  FTP site manager that stores sites in folders  References to site objects on the desktop  Drag and drop enabled for transfers, queueing, site manipulation and more  Local file manager  Quick connect feature to test new sites  Ping feature to test site responsiveness before connecting  Unlimited number of simultaneous connections to the same site  Multiple and simultaneous transfers to the same site  Graphical file transfer display  Host redialing for busy sites  Seamless reconnects for lost connections  Automatically resume interrupted transfers  Resume partially transferred files to save bandwidth  Transfer queue for storing items to transfer  Recursive directory tree transfers and deletes  Server to server tree and file transfers  Tree synchronize feature for maintaining identical trees on local and remote systems  Recursive directory tree search feature for finding files  Archive content and text file viewer  Configurable file associations for viewing downloaded files  Classical and transparent proxy firewall support  Firewall support for travelling (laptop) users  Configurable directory lisiting cache  "Quick paths" allow access to frequently accessed directories  Parent directory button to quickly move up one directory  Communications log with save to file option  Hooks for command file execution after file transfers  Download information optionally written to file EAs  File list filter  Hover help for all toolbars  Warp 4's tabbed notebook style  Drag and drop color and font configurability ═══ 6. Features that may not be obvious ═══  To move a site to a new folder, drag and drop the site over the target folder. To copy a site hold down the control key while dropping the site over the target folder.  To create a reference to a site on the desktop, drag and drop the site in any desktop folder. Double clicking the new site reference object will open the FTP window for that site, bypassing the site manager.  To connect to a site double click the site name. To connect to every site within a folder, double click the folder name.  To be prompted for a site address or password, simply leave these fields empty in the properties notebook.  To start FTP Browser from another application and automatically connect to a FTP site refer to the "command line arguments" section of the FTP Browser manual.  To transfer files and directories, simply drag objects from or into the FTP window.  To view a file using the defined associations, double click the file name in the FTP window. If the file's extension matches that of a defined association it will be viewed using the defined external application. For example, double clicking on a ZIP file will display the contents of the archive. Any file for which there is no association is assumed to be a text file and will be displayed in the built-in text viewer window. Associations can be defined in the configure options notebook.  To resume an interrupted file transfer, simply start the transfer again and select append from the file transfer prompt.  To transfer files and directories from one site to another, simply drag objects from one FTP window to the other.  To recursively delete directories on a site, make your selection then select delete.  To synchronize directory trees between your system and a remote system, both the local and remote directory fields must changed to the directories that are to be synchronized.  To filter the file list add the filter string to the end of the remote directory. For example, the following remote directory would only list ZIP files: /os2/incoming/*.zip To remove the filter refresh the directory.  To change the font and color of a window, simply drag and drop them to the window. All changes will be saved. ═══ 7. Solutions to common problems ═══ This section provides solutions to common problems.  if there is a problem getting a list of files from a Windows for Workgroups/95/NT FTP server, try changing the site type in the site's properties notebook to DOS.  if there is a problem connecting to sites on the internet through a firewall/proxy server, make sure that the "located behind firewall" check box is not checked. It should only be checked for sites within (local to) your LAN.  if a site does not allow fully qualified path names when changing or listing a directory, the file list will be empty even though there are files. If this is the case then disable "fully qualify directory changes and listings" on the preferences page of the site's properties notebook.  if you are having problems connecting through a firewall or connecting to a specific site, view the communications window and select save. Send this text file along with a description of the problem in an e-mail message to the address listed under support.  if FTP Browser is slow accessing data files or creating a lot of disk activity, try using the install program to clean your data files. Refer to the install help for more information.  if you would like to move FTP Browser to another location use the move function in the install program. Refer to the install help for more information.  when closing the FTP window, it is normal if it takes up to 5 seconds to shut down. ═══ 8. Registration information ═══ FTP Browser is shareware.
