AutoFTP version 1, Bug, ToDo and Changes log
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update #1
Bug
Reported on 02 Aug 97
Fixed on
Reported by Dave Blagburn
Description - Paths are not recognized if there is a trailing backslash.
Comment: Don't put trailing backslashs. I'll put a routine in to remove
them as I get time.
Update #2
ToDo
Sugggested on 02 Aug 97
Implemented on
Suggested by Dave Blagburn
Description - Allow tabbing from field to field if the user hits a RETURN.
Comment - Use the tab key. While I understand the RETURN key is used
quite often to do this, it is more correctly the function of
the TAB key. I will consider changing this operation in the
future.
Update #3
Bug
Reported on 07 Aug 97
Fixed on 26 Aug 97
Reported by Nicky Morrow
Description - Pressing F5 when no .cfg data is loaded causes crash.
Update #4
Bug
Reported on 07 Aug 97
Fixed on 07 Aug 97
Reported by Nicky Morrow
Description - Program was not recogizing outbound files in some
situations.
Update #5
Bug
Reported on 16 Aug 97
Fixed on 16 Aug 97
Reported by Charles Bowman
Description - The normal/binkley function seems to be case sensitive,
?lo works and ?LO doesn't.
Update #6
Bug
Reported on 18 Aug 97
Fixed on 1 Nov 97
Reported by Charles Bowman
Description - If your system is already connected to the internet and
it can't ping the remote system AutoFTP will try to
start another copy of your dialer...which is not good.
Comment - I beefed up the routines that ping the remote server and
added the ability to set a alternate server to ping. I
set my ISP's server as the alternate. AutoFTP will do a
crosscheck on the alternate if it can't ping the desired
server after several tries. If AutoFTP can't ping either
server then it runs Dial.CMD. This method is working almost
foolproof here.
Update #7
Bug
Reported on 24 Aug 97
Fixed on 1 Sep 97
Reported by Mark Storm
Description - AutoFTP is deleting the Binkley files that it should be
truncating.
Comment - AutoFTP's ?lo support mirrors Binkleyterm's methods exactly.
See the Binkleyterm docs. AutoFTP deletes when it should
delete and truncates when it should truncate.
Update #8
ToDo
Suggested on 31 Aug 97
Implemented on
Reported by Francois Massonneau
Description - Allow users to change colors.
Comment - I'll do this when I get time but it's not a high priority.
Update #9
ToDo
Suggested on 7 Sep 97
Implemented on
Reported by Francois Massonneau
Description - Add Frontdoor support.
Comment - I am setting up FD as I get time but it would help if
someone could give me quick rundown of how FD handles
outbound files.
Update #10
ToDo
Suggested on 20 Sep 97
Implemented on 22 Sep 97
Reported by Mark Storm
Description - Show seconds on clock.
Update #11
ToDo
Suggested on 5 Oct 97
Implemented on 20 Oct 97
Reported by Bob Holiday
Description - Change operation of program so that
when a .cfg file is given as a command
line parameter AutoFTP loads, exchanges
files and then terminates. Drag-n-Drop
also triggers automatic operation <g>
Update #12
ToDo
Suggested on 10 Oct 97
Implemented on 20 Oct 97
Reported by Nicky Morrow
Description - Add capability to change runtime priority.
Update #14
ToDo
Suggested on 27 Oct 97
Implemented on 1 Nov 97
Reported by Mark Storm
Description - AutoFTP runs HangUp.CMD only when it was necessary
to run Dial.CMD. A lot of folks were adding mail
tossing commands to HangUp.CMD that weren't getting
processed if the system was already online when
the event processed.
Comment - I have added another .CMD file called AfterEVT.CMD.
AutoFTP runs this file anytime it downloads a file.
You can put mail or file tossing commands or for that
matter, anything you want in this file.
Update #15
Bug
Reported on 23 Nov 97
Fixed on 23 Nov 97
Reported by Mark Storm
Description - AutoFTP fails to download files if "." or ".." are
encountered when it gets the list of files to be
downloaded from the remote server.
Comment - I changed 2 parts of AutoFTP's behavior to solve this
problem. AutoFTP now ignors "." and ".." if they are
presented as available. AutoFTP now continues to try
to process all files in the download list even if a
failure is encountered.
Update #16
Bug
Reported on 10 Dec 97
Fixed on 14 Dec 97
Reported by Bob Holiday
Description - AutoFTP fails to correctly send "file sends." It
handles files that require deletion or trucation
fine but my "file sends" don't work.
Comment - Problem was in the Binkley support code. I had coded
AutoFTP to look for "#" or "^" as the first character
in the line that defines what file to send. This is
now fixed and "file sends" should work fine. See
Binkleyterm docs for further details on correct
operation.
Update #17
ToDo
Suggested on 16 Dec 97
Implemented on
Reported by Bob Holiday
Description - If you configure events too close together, the
second..etc event won't run because it missed
it's starting time.
Comment - Schedule your short connect times before your long
ones. I will look to include a solution in version
2.
--- Begin Version 2 ---
Update #18
ToDo
Suggested on 26 Dec 97
Implemented on
Reported by Nick Marc
Description - Right now I'm using it to reach out every few
hours and download new files. What would make
it better for my work would be the ability to
somehow check and download only the newest files
uploaded since my last visit.
Update #19
Bug
Reported on 26 Dec 97
Fixed on
Reported by Nick Marc
Description - When getting files from a ftp site in normal
mode the files are deleted from the remote
server. Rather than delete the files I would
much prefer the option to delete or not.
Comment - I agree. Fixing this will be a high priority.
