- This program is NcFTP, ported to work on Windows95. I am currently putting the
- program into beta to ensure that everything is working correctly on a
- variety of machines. Please see the file port_progress for the features
- that are working, aren't working, and a few little quirks.
-
- By request of the original author, the source code will be released. However,
- (by permission of the author), I will attempt to clean up, and tighten up,
- the code before it is released. Please, E-mail me with any problems you may
- have so they can be corrected. (Look to the file port_progress.h for known
- bugs)
-
- As much as I would like to, I can't take credit for this program. That goes to
- M Gleason. I can only take credit for what it took to move it to Windows 95,
- which was a realization that it could be done, and two weeks of evening
- programming.
-
- This port retains Micheal Gleason's copyright, and is being released into the
- public domain.
-
- A copy of the man page for ncftp is included as ncftp.doc
-
- Use and enjoy. szurgot@Infi.net
-
- As this is a beta, please check back to my Web Page for updated versions.
-
- A few notes:
- A few environment variables are required.
- HOME=Your Home directory. .ncftprc and .ncrecent will go there.
- USER=your login name on your provider.
- HOST=your provider. USER&HOST are used to create your default
- anonymous password.
- C:\TEMP is currently required. Sorry.
- When doing lcd, use / instead of \ Changing drives work fine though.
- Including in the initial distribution is a sample .ncftprc file.
- copy the ncftprc.sam file to ".ncftprc" in the HOME directory (YES, the dot
- will work)
-
- All major functionality seems to work. Please contact me if there are any
- problems. I wish to remove all bugs.
-
- On the two machines that I have access to for testing purposes, ASCII
- receives only seem to work if you set the RWIN, And MTU. As I highly
- recommend setting these anyway (and not just for this program), I have
- included "PPP1.REG" and "PPP2.REG" to update your registry with the
- information. Just type "START PPPx.REG", the reboot when it is done.
- Note: Verify this, and if it does not work, set them manually.
-
- Colon mode can be flakey if you are connecting to a slow site. It may
- hangup if it doesn't log on and get a ls fast enough...
-
- When you ^C to abort the program will crash. I know and am working on it.
