-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. What is the EmTec Network Suite (ENS) and EmTec FTP (EFTP)?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
EmTec Network Suite is a set of tools for improving access to the
Internet from your OS/2 desktop. It offers a full featured
newsreader, FTP and Gopher clients. This suite of programs was
previously known as the Neologic Network Suite.
Prior versions of the Network Suite sold under the NeoLogic name
contained an FTP server licensed from Hethmon Brothers software.
For information on support and upgrades for the FTP server
component which is no longer included in the suite contact Paul
Hethmon at phethmon@hethmon.com or www.hethmon.com).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Installation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Unzip the distribution file EFTP.ZIP to a temporary directory
Make sure you unpack with subdirectories.
Example:
unzip EFTP.ZIP
or
pkunzip -d EFTP.ZIP
2. Switch to the directory in which you unzipped EFTP.ZIP
and run INST.EXE.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you select 'Install...' the installation program will copy the
EmTec FTP files to the specified directory and create an EmTec
Network Suite folder on your desktop.
If you select the 'Upgrade...' option the installation program
will try to install new EmTec FTP files in the directory where your
EmTec Network Suite has been installed and will create an EmTec
FTP V5.0 object in the EmTec Network Suite folder.
Note: The Installation program will not delete your old version
of EmTec FTP because the new version requires a different
directory structure.
After you verified that the new version is working to your
satisfaction, you may safely delete the .\ftp\ftp.exe file from
your Network Suite directory. Of course, you may also have dual
installations if you wish to maintain a previous version.
4. Once the installation is complete you may run the EmTec FTP
client from the EmTec Network Suite folder. Restarting your
computer is not necessary.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Ordering
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EmTec Network Suite is distributed exclusively by BMT Micro in the
U.S. When you are connected to the internet you can order through the
Purchase EmTec FTP v5.0 application (PURCHASE.EXE), which will encrypt
and transfer your order directly to BMT Micro. Alternately you can
fill out and print the order form text (ORDER.FRM) and mail or fax it
to BMT.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Improvements and Bug Fixes for this Release
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new version offers the following key features (see the file
VERSIONS.DOC for a more detailed list of improvements).
* Downloading/Uploading files or whole directories using simple drag and
drop actions.
* Passive FTP mode which allows the client to work behind firewalls
and systems which use IP masquerading.
* Reconnect feature which is useful when your connection is slow.
* The user friendly interface has been further enhanced based on user
suggestions.
