- Introduction
- ************
-
- FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol. FTP is a method for
- transferring files from one computer to another, if they are connected
- to each other via a TCP/IP network. Using an FTP Client, you may
- connect to a remote computer on the internet and upload or download
- files. You may have an account on a remote FTP site, but more
- commonly, FTP is used with an "anonymous" connection, meaning that you
- dont need an account to log on to the site and download files. Several
- well known FTP sites are included with AmFTP for your use. You will
- soon find others that you use often and you can add these to the others.
-

- later, and About MUI or later.
-
- AmFTP needs some TCP/IP protocol stack in order to operate and connect
- to a remote FTP site. These include:
-
- AmiTCP
- As225r2
-
- or a TCP/IP Emulator for Un*x shell account, including:
-
- MLink
- TIA (The Internet Adapter)
- Slirp
-
- NOTE: TIA support not fully implemented yet.
-
- Installing AmFTP
- ****************
-
- An Installer script is included in the archive, which makes
- installation as easy as possible. You must have Amiga Technology's
- Installer program in C: for this script to work. If you cannot or do
- not wish to use the installer script, just create a directory for it if
- you wish, and uncompress the archive into the created directory.
-
- Operation of AmFTP
- ******************
-
- Starting AmFTP
- **************
-
-
- To run AmFTP:
-
-
- From Shell:
-
- Open a shell and CD to the directory in which you have placed AmFTP, and
- type: "AmFTP"
-
- From Workbench:
-
- Open the drawer that you have placed AmFTP in and click on its Icon.
-
- Connecting to a Server
- **********************
-
- Once you have Startup AmFTP, click on the Connect gadget located just
- above the AmFTP logo in the lower left corner of the interface. Here
- you can Add Server, Remove Server, or Options server profiles, or just
- double click an existing profile to connect to it.
-
- Operating the Interface
- ***********************
-
- The main page of AmFTP is divided up into two main sections, and a
- smaller third section:
-
- Local File list (Left)
- Displays files located on your computer.
-
- Remote File list (Right)
- Displays files located on the remote server.
-
- Log Window (bottom)
- Displays messages from either the local or the remote computer.
-
- The operation of the main page is very similar to any "Directory Tool"
- you may have experience with. If you do not, the concept is simple:
- Files can be copied from one window to the other. Both windows are
- identical in operation with the exception of the send and
- receive gadgets.
-
- At the top of each section, is the "path" text input gadget. Here you
- may type in a path to the files that you want to operate on, or you may
- select the path from the cycle gadget located just to the right of the
- input string. The gadget marked "Parent" will take you up one level in
- the directory structure.
-
- Taking up most of each section is the file list, to the right of which
- is the file list scroll gadget. Use this to scroll up and down through
- the file listing. To the right of the scroll bar is a vertical column
- of gadgets which will perform operations on any selected files in the
- window to the left.
-
- Refresh
- Causes AmFTP to re-read the file list, updating anything that may
- have changed.
-
- MkDir
- Short for MakeDir, this gadget will create a directory in the file
- list to the left.
-
- Pattern Matching Input Gadget
- Here you may enter a pattern for selecting files, after entering
- the pattern, with valid AmigaOS wildcards (#?.#?), if you like,
- you may use the '+' & '-' gadgets to select and deselect the files
- matching your pattern.
-
- Show
- This will use multiview to show you the selected files.
-
- Rename
- This will prompt you for a new name to give to selected files, one
- at a time.
-
- Delete
- This will delete selected files.
-
- Send|Receive
- These buttons will transfer the file to the opposite filelist.
-
- Batch
- This item appears only on the remote side of the AmFTP window.
- Clicking on it will open the batch queue window and add the
- selected file to the queue.
-
- Below the two filelist sections reside the main functions for AmFTP:
-
- Connect|Disconnect
- This will take you to the connection profiles page where you may
- select a server to connect to, or if you are already connected,
- this will disconnect you from the server.
-
- Archie
- This will open the Built-in Archie file searching utility
-
- Help
- This gadget will call the amigaguide online documentation, which
- you are reading right now. ;)
-
- Transfer Mode
- This cycle gadget will allow you to select a transfer mode, either
- Image (binary) or ASCII (text). Unless for some reason you need
- to force a transfer a certain way, it is best to leave this gadget
- alone, as AmFTP will attempt to auto detect the type of transfer
- necessary for the files in question.
-
- Archie File Searching Utility
- *****************************
-
- What is Archie?
- ---------------
-
- Archie is a protocol for finding files on the internet. This is
- accomplished through several servers dedicated to this task. in a
- nutshell, you may ask your archie client for a specific file, and it
- will find out where you can download it from. Note that archie will
- not work well with generic searches: for example, you will not have
- much luck searching for "archivers", but if you searched for "lha", you
- might have a better chance of finding what you want. It is best to
- search on the filename, rather than on what the file does.
-
- Using AmFTP's Built-In Archie Client
- ------------------------------------
-
- The AmFTP Archie window is opened by selecting the Archie gadget from
- the main Interface.
-
- Here you may select a search site by typing it into the Archie
- Searchsite text gadget, or by using the cycle gadget at the right of
- the text input to select an already existing entry.
-
- Next you can enter the search specifications in the search for text
- input gadget. You should be as specific as possible here, as Archie is
- not very good at finding files with a very generic filespec.
-
- Once this is done, just click the search gadget to begin the search.
- AmFTP will connect to the site and find anything matching the search
- specifications.
-
- After a while you should get a list of files that AmFTP has found that
- match the search pattern. now you can click on Add as Profile gadget
- at the bottom, and the profile will be added to the Options list,
- including the directory. just exit this window and choose the
- connect gadget, and then choose the profile you just added, and
- you will find the file you were looking for. :)
-
- Adding a server to the "phonelist"
- **********************************
-
- Open the "Server Profiles" requestor by clicking the connect gadget on
- the main window, and select the new gadget located just under the
- server list. This will create an entry called *new*. Fill out the
- Options on the right side, and you are ready to connect to the new
- server.
-
- Removing a Server from the "phonelist"
- **************************************
-
- Open the "Server Profiles" page by clicking the connect gadget on the
- main window, and click on the entry to be removed. Then click on the
- delete gadget and the entry will be removed.
-
- Uploading Files
- ***************
-
- To upload files, You must have the "Directory Tool" option checked in
- the Settings of AmFTP. Just click on a file in the Interface and click
- the send gadget. Or, you may drag the desired files from the local
- list to the remote list. See Interface for details on the interface
- operation.
-
- Downloading Files
- *****************
-
- To download a file, simply click on the filename in the Interface and
- then click the Receive gadget. Or, you can just drag the files you
- desire from the remote directory listing to the local listing. I you
- wish, you may click "Batch" after selecting a desired file, and this
- file will be added to a batch download queue, and after you have
- selected all the files you need, you can download them all at once.
-
- From the Batch window, You may view files in the batch queue, and you
- may also remove any files, or receive the whole queue.
-
- Note that "double-clicking" a file in the remote dir list will attempt
- to download and display it using multiview. It is important to
- remember that this file is held in temporary storage only, and will be
- removed upon exiting AmFTP.
-
- See Interface for details on the interface operation.
-
- Server Profile Options
- **********************
-
- The "server Profiles" page is dominated by the Server entry list on the
- left, and several assorted gadgets on the right. Here you may modify
- your connection profiles, or Add Server new ones, or Remove Server old
- ones.
-
- Select the server to modify by clicking on its entry in the server
- profile list on the left. If this is to be a new profile, the entry
- will be "*New*. Next, set the options you like in the gadgets to the
- right. these are explained here:
-
- Profile Name
- Here you can enter the name as it will appear in the server list.
-
- Host Name
- Here you need to enter the address of the server, such as
- "ftp.vapor.com".
-
- Port
- This is the port of the remote server to connect to. For FTP,
- this is normally 21. Unless you have a reason to change this,
- dont. Leave it set at 21. If in the future you are given a
- private ftp account somewhere, this may change, but not likely.
-
- ADT Server
- set this on if you wish to have AmFTP behave as an ADT client.
-
- Anon Login
- Leave this set on, unless you want to log into a FTP server on
- which you have been given a private account. this will save you
- the trouble of having to type "anonymous" and your email address
- each time you log in.
-
- Quiet Login
- If this is set, AmFTP will attempt to skip the MOTD when connecting
-
- Login Name
- If you are connecting to a private account, here is where you
- enter your login name. For anonymous connections, this gadget is
- ghosted.
-
- Password
- If you are connecting to a private account, here is where you
- enter your password. For anonymous connections, this gadget is
- ghosted.
-
- Retries
- Here you may configure the number of retries that AmFTP will
- attempt if the server is not allowing a connect for some reason.
- Usually because of maximum number of users reached.
-
- Remote Dir
- Here you may specify the server directory that AmFTP will
- automatically CD to upon connection.
-
- Local Dir
- Here you may specify the local directory that AmFTP will
- automatically CD to upon connection.
-
- Save Dir
- This will preserve the local and remote dirs for your next session
- at the same server.
-
- Connect to FTP Server
- This will attempt to connect you to the selected server in the
- server list.
-
- Back to main page
- This gadget will return you to the main page without connecting to
- a server.
-
- Closing a connection
- ********************
-
- To end an FTP session and close the connection, click the
- Disconnect gadget just above the AmFTP logo in the lower left
- corner. You will be prompted if you really want to close the session.
- Choose 'Yes' or 'No'. Then you may choose to start a session on a
- different server, or you may quit AmFTP by choosing "Quit" from the
- Project menu or click the close gadget in the upper left corner of the
- AmFTP window.

-
- Magic User Interface
- ********************
-
- About MUI
- =========
-
- AmFTP uses the MUI object library,
- which is © 1993-95 by Stefan Stuntz.
- Without MUI, AmFTP wouldn't exist.
-
- Why MUI?
- ========
-
- Why MUI? you ask...
-
- MUI makes it easier for programmers to assemble their code, and at the
- same time, attempts to standardize the way programs run under AmigaDOS.
- As well, MUI makes it easier for the user to customize the way
- programs look and behave to suit the user's own tastes.

- action with linked entries does not work).
- (The filesize can be also WRONG sometimes, cause some servers
- give size of link entry instead of the size of the file.)
- - The local directory history will be saved in the file

- contains an unsigned value.
- Sorry "show new" had to be reseted again. It will show all files
- during first start, instead of only new ones.
- - Some layout fixes.
- - File ending with ".readme", ".liesmich", ".text", or ".txt" will
- attempt to be received compressed.
- If this attempt fails, no more tries of compress will be made
- during this connect with this server.
- - Closing a connection during transfer will remove list of file to
- receive.
- - Added español catalog.
- - Changing active entry in ADT mode, will show a short info about
- it.
- Example: "CL5-Devkit [172203 Bytes, 1631 Bytes Readme, Send:
- 02.12.1995, 16:00"
- Selecting entries will show info about selection furthermore.
- - Changing active entry in Archie mode, will show a short info
- about it.
- Example: "Anarchie-F140.sit.bin [488960 Bytes], Send 11:23 3 Nov
- 1994"
- - Installer shows different icons for AmFTP during selection.
- - You can choose a special selection of Aminet directories, and
- force AmFTP to show those only. Choose "Selected" in "Show:"
- cyclegadget.
-
- v1.41 (23.1.96)
- ***************
- - All lines will end with CR/LF now, to not confuse old fashioned
- IBM-compatible servers, and some slip-emulations like TIA.
- - Layout fixed.

- errorreport in logwindow.
- - Build a uncompress for ".Z" (standard unix compression) files in
- AmFTP.
- - Compressed files will automatically decompressed, yet. Later on
- it will be configurable.
- - RECENT and LOCAL index files will be loaded in compressed format.
- - Some internal changes.
-
- v1.40 (22.1.96)
- ***************
- - Added AmFTP/AMIGA®-logo in about window.
- - If downloading a file which already exists, it can be either resumed
- or overwritten.
- - Resume requester only appears when that checkmark is selected
- in menu. Otherwise resume will be used without asking.
- Take care: Not every ftp-site supports a correct resume.
- - Dirparser re-written. Now it uses a human like logic finding
- columns and spaces. Hope this will solve problems with some
- special sites.
- - New entry in AmFTP-RC file "LASTRECENT". It stores the time index
- of newest recent entry. It's used to decide which aminet uploads
- are new. Setting this back to "LASTRECENT 0" (or removing this
- entry) shows all files since 1.1.1970. This will be start value,
- i'm sorry for.
- - Some internal fixes.
-
- v1.39 (21.1.96)
- ***************
- - Some internal fixes.

-
- v1.38 (20.1.96)
- ***************
- - Found archie entries can be added as Profile entries. The server
- will be named "FTP <ftpsite>", and can be found on the bottom of the
- list.
- The default directory of this profile entry will be the directory
- found during archie search.
- - Some internal changes.
- - Bug removed: Loginsequence with some archie servers failed sometimes.
- - Minor Layout fixes.
- - Archie output is now restricted to window width.
- Before you saw "/pub/amiga/com", now you see ".../comm/amftp".
- - If no username or no password is given in profile settings, there
- will popup a window to enter it for this login.
- These datas won't be saved after quit, so it is useful for secure
- use.
- - Changed directory parsing again. No it should work anywhere and make
- no more problems with "files with space in filename".
-
- v1.37 (19.1.96)
- ***************
- - Installer script works correct now.
- - If you wanted to download a file, which is not available to download
- for you, no works perfectly. The reasons may be, e.g. that the
- file has been removed, or your user rights don't allow you to access
- that file.
- - A batch download cannot be initialized when no connection is
- established.
- - List of Default Profiles now includes all known AmiNet Sites.
- (Reference: Site-info from any AmiNet site) You have to delete your
- ".AmFTPProfiles" files in HOME: and PROGDIR:, if you want to see
- them in YOUR personal profile list.

- - only valid help bubbles will be shown.
- - Connect window only appears when that checkmark is selected
- in menu.
- - Some layout fixes, and some internal fixes.
- - Transfer gauges will now show 100% when file is transfered.
- - MakeDir/Rename windows will be created and disposed dynamically
- in order to save memory.
