- AUTHOR: Kent D. Behrens (kent.behrens@aquila.com)
- VERSION: 1.0.9 (Mon Jul 3rd 1995)
-
-
- OVERVIEW:
- =========
-
- IIFTP has several options not currently found on other FTP Clients as well as
- many options currently offered. One of the most unique options to Integrated
- Internet is the FTP "Personal Server". This server will allow connections in
- either 'anonymous' or 'Username/Password' type logins to your own personal FTP
- Site. FTP Personal Server has very minimal configuration, you can set anonymous
- access on or off, specify a default path for anonymous logins and specify a
- default path for password logins. Anonymous logins have very limited access to
- your computer while password logins have sufficient control to move, delete,
- copy or send files and make or remove directories. Due to the fact that this is
- a personal FTP site, only one login name and password are configurable and the
- server will only allow one connection at a time to the FTP Site.
-

-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- =============
-
- IIFTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL,
- Windows 3.1 or later, VBRUN300.DLL and a SLIP/PPP Dialup or
- LAN access to the Internet.
-
- If you don't have VBRUN300.DLL, you can get it via FTP at ftp.microsoft.com
- as VBRUN300.EXE. (a self-extracting compressed file). The Full path is:
- D:/SOFTLIB/MSLFILES/VBRUN300.EXE
-
-
- IIFTP CLIENT/SERVER INSTALLATION:
- =================================
-
- To Install IIFTP, Create a directory and call it for example: C:\IIFTP, Place
- the following files from the distribution diskette or distribution compressed
- file into that directory:
-
- * IIFTP.EXE
- * IIFTP.HLP
- * IIFTP.INI
- * IIFTP.TXT
- * ORDER.FRM
- * IIFTPPS.EXE
- * IIFTPPS.INI
-
- If the following files do not already exist in your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory,
- Please Move them to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory from the distribution
- diskette:
-
- * WINMSG.VBX
- * THREED.VBX
- * CMDIALOG.VBX
-
- At this point IIFTP is ready to be run, However you may also want to create
- a Program Manager Icon for IIFTP. To create the Icon, follow these steps:
-
- * Select the Program Group you would like to create the Icons in.
- * Select the File|New|Program Item from the pull down menu in the Program
- Manager.
- * Type "IIFTP Client" in the Description Field of the Program Item Properties
- Dialog Box.
- * Click on the Browse button, change to the path where IIFTP.EXE is located,
- Select IIFTP.EXE and Click the OK button to except the selection.
- * The Command Line Field should now display the Full Path and Filename of
- IIFTP.EXE.
- * The Working Directory, Run Minimized and Shortcut Key fields are optional.
- * Click the OK button to except the New Program Item.
-
- IIFTP.EXE is the only Icon you will need to make as the Personal Server can be
- started form the Client. If you would prefer to make the Personal Server Icon
- then please repeat the above steps replacing IIFTP.EXE with IIFTPPS.EXE and
- "IIFTP Client" with "IIFTP Server".
-
-
- CLIENT COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
- ============================
-
- -i drive:\path_to_ini_file (must be first on line)
- Example: -i C:\WINDOWS\IIFTP.INI
-
- remotehost:/pathname/filename
- Example: ftp.microsoft.com:/softlib/mslfiles/vbrun300.exe
-
-
- CLIENT SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
- ==============================
-
- When the FTP Client is first run, it will ask for an E-Mail address and a text
- viewer to use for viewing both local and remote text files. The most common text
- viewer for Windows is NOTEPAD.EXE which is included with Windows. This viewer is
- limited in several ways when dealing with text files from other operating
- systems such as "UNIX" which makes up about 80-90% of all the FTP Sites.
- Therefore I have defaulted this to "INTERNAL", the internal text viewer will
- attempt to automatically detect what type of text file is being viewed and
- display it properly. The E-Mail address needs to be a fully qualified address
- (i.e. first.last@service.com). This E-Mail address is used for anonymous logins
- to FTP Sites.
-
- Also when the FTP Client starts it adds the following lines to your WIN.INI:
-
- [IIFTP]
- INILOC=drive:\path to IIFTP.INI file
- CACHELOC=drive:\path to CACHE files
-
- If you relocate the program in the future IIFTP will update these settings
- automatically. If you run a second copy of the program in a different directory,
- it will use the INI file specified by these settings unless you specify on the
- command line to use an alternate INI file.
-
-
- SERVER SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
- ==============================
-
- The setup area for "Integrated Internet FTP Personal Server" is located in the
- FTP Clients Pull Down Menu. Click Personal Server|Server Configuration on the
- Pull Down Menu to change the default settings in the server. The changes are
- automatic, the server does not have to be shut-down in order for the changes to
- take effect. Also the LOG file for the server is removed when the server is shut
- down for house-keeping. If you want to save the LOG, make a copy or move it to
- another location before turning off the server.
-
- If the default login path for anonymous logins is say "c:\pub" then the user can
- only access directories below "c:\pub" such as "c:\pub\files". The user cannot
- access "c:\" or any other directory that does not start with "c:\pub\". The
- same rule applies for the Password login, however the password login has more
- rights. The anonymous user can copy files from the access directories, change
- directories, and in general do anything that would not change anything on your
- system. The Password user can do virtually anything you can do locally such as
- Delete, Copy, Rename, Move or Create files and Make or Remove directories. Be
- very careful to whom you give access to your password account.
