Short: FTP plugin v1.3 update for Aweb
Author: panther@gate.net (Josef Faulkner)
Uploader: panther@gate.net (Josef Faulkner)
Version: 1.3
Type: comm/www
Requires: WB3.0 Arexx biz/demo/Aweb.lha util/cli/WBCopy.lha comm/tcp/FTPMount-1.0.lha
Replaces: comm/tcp/awebftp.lha
Description:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This plugin will allow you to do inline FTPing of files on the net,
without the need to call an external FTP program (except FTPMount, which
is transparent). It will distinguish between a directory and a file, and
act accordingly.
Features:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
o Fast reaction, since FTPMount does a lot of cacheing of dirs
o Asyncronous download (thanks to Aweb), you can continue browsing
while it downloads, and Aweb will inform you when the transfer
has completed!
o Brings up a requestor to ask what you want to save as
New for 1.1:
o You can now upload to the directory if you type the name of a file
in a form at the bottom of the list (or leave blank, and it will
give you a requester asking for a file)
o Make directories
o Delete a file (only one at a time, currently)
New for 1.2:
o WBCopy command used to copy files w/ progress meter
Thanks to Bastian H. Frank for developing this handy program!
New for 1.3:
o Much faster:
o No longer parses list output, uses lformat to create listing
o AmiFTP is now loadable from the inside!
o Will detect if amiftp is already loaded, and go to the directory
o Doesn't disconnect and reconnect if amiftp already has the host open
Requirements:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
FTPMount version 8 (or newer) must be installed and running
available on Aminet:
FTPMount-1.0.lha comm/tcp 109K Mounts FTP sites
WBCopy (aminet/util/cli/WBCopy.lha) must be in your path
Not only does this program solve the problem with softlinks, but
it also gives a progress meter (a much requested feature)!
(optional, but recommended)
AmiFTP (from http://www.lysator.liu.se/~lilja/AmiFTP.html)

Known Bugs:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Linked files are sometimes thought to be directories in AmigaDOS, and
may wind up returning an empty directory listing instead of the actual
file.
I've attempted to correct this by checking if the link clicked on has a
period in the name, if so, it assumes it's a file instead.
Hopefully this bug is obsolete with the new copy program. Let me know if
you find any URL's that this still happens on.
Many people are getting "out of memory" errors. This should only be
occuring on old versions of AwebFTP, and usually only when they forget
to pass all three %s arguments in aweb's preferences.
