TYPE- NEW DEVELOP
DESCRIPTION-
OS/2 v4.0 has a new template representing a FTP site. This is
called FTP FOLDER. However, this excellent feature needs some
improvements, as follows:
1. Better Progress Indication Dialog: When getting files from
the remote host, the standard OS/2 copy/move progress
indication dialog is displayed. While this dialog is
excellent for small and quick transfers, one can never tell
the state of a current going-on long file transfer. A
percentage indication bar would be desirable. This can
become the standard OS/2 progress indication dialog.
2. Recursive GET: A simple way to do a recursive get should be
provided. One should be able to mark a directory or even an
entire FTP FOLDER object (as it represents a specific
default directory) and get it's contents and the content of
any directory below it.
