- FTPDummy! v1.5
- --------------
-
- Most of the help is avaiable within the program
- by clicking HELP.
-
- =============================================================
- ------------------ HELP ON SETTINGS -------------------------
- =============================================================
- If you have trouble with the settings of the program
- a short description of SETTINGS follows:
-
- In the SITE field, enter a full site name
- such as : eagle.geocities.com
- somewhere.someplace.com
- 123.456.789
- etc.
-
- In the USER and PASSWORD fields, enter your username
- and password such as :
- harry123
- ******
- etc.
- This should be fairly self explanatory.
-
- In the DIRECTORY field, enter a directory name
- such as : mydirectory
- mydirectory/
- mydirectory/files
- mydirectory/files/
- etc.
-
- Make sure you don't include a slash before the initial directory
- name, this indicates the root account which you probably don't
- have access too.
-
- Clicking on SAVE PASSWORD IN PREFERENCES indicates whether you
- want the password _also_ remembered in the preference file (along
- with the other fields you entered). This is so that each time you
- run the program, the fields are remembered and filled in for you.
- Some people wouldn't want the password stored in a file for security
- reasons.
- However, FTPDummy! includes password encryption in the data file
- so that you can not view the password.
-
- Once you're satisfied with the entry, click OK to save it.
-
- ====================================================================
- - Extra Features in v1.5 : SAVES MULTIPLE FTP SITES IN PREFERENCES -
- ====================================================================
-
- You can enter multiple sites by simply entering a new site name,
- user information, password and click OK.
-
- -- Selecting the Entries --
- To select the different sites, you can click on the pull-down
- button next to the SITE name field and it will list all the ftp sites
- you have entered.
- Once you select a site, the username, password, and other fields
- will fill in automatically to what you had them at before for that
- site. Any further changes you make will be saved once you hit OK in
- the settings.
-
- -- Adding a New Entry --
- If the site name field currently has something entered already (such as
- a previously selected ftp site) just begin typing over it and enter
- all the new information and then click OK. This will enter a new site into
- the preferences file as long as the site name is a new one.
-
- Likewise, to change any fields on an already existing entry, just select the
- entry from the pulldown, modify the fields such as the password, username, or
- directory, and then click OK. This will update the entry.
-
- -- Removing an Entry --
- Currently there is no Delete button for the ftp sites under the
- settings screen. Therefore, if you do want to erase some ftp sites,
- or just make a whole new list of sites, you'll have to delete the
- file called "uploader.dat" (the only file created by the program probably
- in the same folder as the program is). This will force the program to
- create a new one for you. Maybe the next version I'll add a delete
- key for it.
-
- I hope the controls for the Settings screen are easy to understand.
- If they are not, please LET ME KNOW and I'll change them so they _are_
- easy for all users to use.

- - Y2K Compliancy : FTPDummy! IS YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT (Y2K) -
- =============================================================
- FTPDummy! has been updated to include a new Year 2000 and up
- data interface. If all goes well, the program should last well
- into the year 9999, then again, I suppose we'll all have evolved
- into something much wackier by then. :)
