FTPFIDO Version 1.7
Learned how to use ansi without putting non-printable
characters in the source. Thanks Mike Bilow!
Also thanks goes to Mike for the truncating technique
which removes the need for Rexxlib.
Rexxlib is still required if you use the hangup/watchdog
function though.
Few other tweeks here and there from day to day use
and abuse.
Been using FtpFido now for 8 months straight with
no major problems and no mail lost.
Checking my logs, thats roughly 2700 megs of mail/files.
One known bug: Sometimes Ftpfido forgets that rxftp
is loaded and error 43's with "function not found"
when a rxftp function call is made.
FTPFIDO Version 1.6
Added more colors and learned some new screen write tricks.
Added display of PID # and Begin time.
Added a time display that updates whenever it can.
Added an onscreen list of files to d/l which is
limited by screen length to prevent scrolling display.
Added a screenlength adjustment.
See the global variable "scrnlgth"
Changed timing to separate u/l and d/l times and bps.
Timing is now much more accurate.
Changed the call to hangup.cmd at the beginning of a
session instead of session end and added some code to hangup.cmd to support it.
Hangup now knows FTPFIDO's PID # in case it has to kill it
due to a hung session.
ie: no change in "ftpin" filecount in 30 min. time.
Corrected a problem associated with PAONLINE and
FTPFIDO trying to d/l "incoming".
I noticed files were coming in in a random order so I included
something to prevent moving files if a session is aborted.
ie: .MO3 comes in before .MO1. If tossed w/o getting
all the files, mail tossed out of order.
Also prevents tics w/o files or vice versa.
Cleaned up some more bugs with error handling.
FD mode is now built-in. See comments in ftpfid16.cmd
Added a version for Mflo users that simply sends *.*
from 'ftpout'.
RxFTP.ZIP - dlls for use with FTPFIDO. Be sure to use RXFTP32.DLL
for OS/2 2.x!!! Rename it to RxFtp.Dll and put in libpath.
Don't forget about Rexxlib.dll!!! Available for freq here
as RexxLb.zip. I couldn't include it due to shareware rules.
FTPFIDO will not run without it!!!!!!
FTPFIDO Version 1.5
Cleaned up and organized a little.
Removed need for seperate BBS/ERRLOG.CMD's.
Included a version for FD outbounds. Netmail must be
packed binkleystyle though.
Also included a version for providers that send the entire
filebone that uses a 'noget' list of fileareas you don't carry
and deletes them w/o d/ling a unwanted file.
FTPFIDO Version 1.4
Trapped file missing errors and included an average delivery time.
Version 1.3
Forgot to add the bbslog.cmd and errlog.cmd which caused problems
since they weren't included. Sorry folks!
Now included are the files I use to logon via PPP and start
all the stuff and then shut it all down when I'm thru.
You will also need to get PPPDIAL and PPPKILL to
complete the setup. I would've included them, but it
might not be kosher with the authors and to keep size to
a minimum. I have them here as PPDIAL27.ZIP and
PPPKILL.ZIP.
They are also on hobbes in /pub/os2/network/tcpip.
I have written a version for a friend that works with
a FD outbound, but he has to use a netmail packer
for his netmail. If anyone wants a version, they can
email me and I'll send it your way.
