Short: Mounts FTP sites as part of a filesystem
Author: evan@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
Uploader: evan@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
Version: 0.8
Type: comm/tcp
Replaces: comm/tcp/FTPMount.lha
FTPMount0.8 is a minor upgrade to 0.7. There are a few bug fixes and
a few minor improvements done in an afternoon, and only done because they
were simple and would really help some people.
Changes from 0.7 to 0.8:
+ FTPMount no longer pretends to support the ExamineFH packet. There was
a problem with ExamineFH which caused crashes related to the fact that
the file handle was not in the position in the packet that documentation
indicated that it was. I couldn't work out what to do about this, so it
returns an ACTION_NOT_KNOWN error instead. Most programs should be able
to cope transparently with this.
+ "//" is legal at the beginning of an FTP: path (for pseudo-URL support),
thus FTP://ftp.netnet.net/pub/aminet/RECENT is a legitimate path name.
+ Directory listings are stored in the same order they are retrieved, so
for example, a copy with a wildcard will copy in standard sorting order
rather than reversed.
+ Case insensitivity now picks an exact match over a case insensitive
match. Thus if a site (eg Aminet/RECENT/recent ... Grrr) has two entries
with the same name, but different cases, you can always distinguish
the one you want by typing the name exactly.
+ If there is no icon for a site, the tooltypes will be read from the
Default.info icon. NB: this doesn't mean that the Default icon specifies
the default value for tooltypes!
+ The "MESSAGES" ToolType has been added to allow disabling of either
banner messages or all messages. Please note that banner messages for public
FTP sites are generally "Conditions of use" which should be read and
understood by users, so I strongly recommend against putting "MESSAGES=ERROR"
or "MESSAGES=NONE" in the Default icon, or in fact for any public ftp site.
+ The "PORT" ToolType has been added to allow connection to ports other
than the standard FTP port (21).
+ FTPMount now handles file names with spaces.
