FTPMon 1.2/1.2a
BUGS Fixed
Could not start multiple copies of FTPMon.
User reported that he did not see the Status Window
when the first error occurred. I believe the Status
Window popped up off the screen. The Status Window
now stays in the visible screen area when it is
displayed.
(1.2a) Fixed bug introduced in FTPMon 1.2 that wouldn't allow
FTPMon to connect to certain FTP servers.
(1.2a) FTPMon will no longer recursivly list files in
subdirectories.
ENHANCEMENTS
Some users found the interface for configuring site/
directory information confusing. The site file
parameters are now all available on one window.
See File->Parameters...
FTPMon can now be configured to clean up the TMP directory
when it exits via Global->Cleanup TMP on exit...
FTPMon stores the Viewed files in the user's TMP
directory. If this option is enabled, FTPMon will
attempt to delete all the Viewed file for this session
when it exits. If you want to save some Viewed files,
be sure to move them from the TMP directory before
exiting FTPMon. Possible reasons FTPMon might be unable
to delete a viewed file include (1) the user might have
moved the file to save it, and (2) the user might still
be viewing the file.
The interval between updates is now adjusable. The
update interval is stored in the site file, so it
can be different for each site monitored.
The user can now select whether or not the New Files
list is automatically updated when the site file is
loaded (usually on program startup). The information
is stored in the site file, so it can be different for
different sites that are being monitored.
A progress indicator is now displayed when files
are being downloaded to disk or being downloaded for
viewing. The window with the progress indicator includes
a Stop button to abort the remaining download(s).
The progress indicator does NOT show progress into the current
file; it shows the percentage of the selected files that have
been downloaded. For example: The user selects
five files and clicks Download. After the third file
has been downloaded, the progress indicator will show
60% (= 3/5) completion.
FTPMon now remembers it's size and position when it is
closed and restores them when it is restarted. The
size/position information is stored in the Site file, so
simultaneously running copies will all remember their
own sizes/positions.
Added "Hint" text to several of the windows.
TESTED CONFIGURATIONS AND NOTES
I tested the current version with Classic Rexx under OS/2 3.0,
Classic Rexx under OS/2 4.0, and Object Rexx under OS/2 4.0.
Although untested, it should work with Object Rexx under OS/2 3.0. Let me know if you have problems in that configuration.
Four different configurations is a bit much for a one-person-
with-one-computer project. I tested just three of the four this
time. I will probably test just two next time -- either the
OS/2 3.0s or OS/2 4.0s. I'm hoping for the OS/2 4.0s, but that
configuration has been flakey on my system. If I can't get OS/2
4.0 stabalized, the next release will probably be tested
on OS/2 3.0 only.
FTPMon now uses David Boll's RXU.DLL version 1.9 or later. RXU is a
freeware DLL of Rexx-callable functions You can get the complete RXU
distribution from the usual FTP sites, including hobbes.nmsu.edu.
On Hobbes, it is is the directory /os2/rexx.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
FTPMon 1.1
BUGS Fixed
User could not View or Download files from a non-anonymous
FTP site. FTPmon would always use the e-mail
address for the password for View and Download functions.
If the user changed the highlighted files when a download
was proceding, the newly highlighted files would be removed
from the list instead of the downloaded file.
User could not monitor certain desired site/directory
combinations because site/directory entry field would
not accept enough characters. Increased length of
site/directory and download directory entry fields to 128.
If the user's TMP or download directories was on a different
drive from the FTPMon program, certain changes (such as
the user's e-mail address) would not be saved under certain
conditions. FTPMon was always searching for the FTPMON.INI
file on its current drive.
FTPMon would terminate immediately if ObjectRexx was installed
as the default Rexx interpreter.
ENHANCEMENTS
If the viewer is set to '*', files Viewing a file will use
the same program as a default open (double clock) on the file.
For example, if you have PMJPEG associated with *.GIF, Viewing
a GIF file will cause PMJPEG to open and display the file.
Double-clicking on a file in the list is equivalent
to Viewing it.
The New Files window can now be resized.
