- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Features that may not be obvious ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- To move a site to a new folder, drag and drop the site over the target
- folder. To copy a site hold down the control key while dropping the site
- over the target folder.
-
- To create a reference to a site on the desktop, drag and drop the site in
- any desktop folder. Double clicking the new site reference object will
- open the FTP window for that site, bypassing the site manager.
-
- To connect to a site double click the site name. To connect to every site
- within a folder, double click the folder name.
-
- To be prompted for a site address or password, simply leave these fields
- empty in the properties notebook.
-
- To start FTP Browser from another application and automatically connect
- to a FTP site refer to the "command line arguments" section of the FTP
- Browser manual.
-
- To transfer files and directories, simply drag objects from or into the
- FTP window.
-
- To view a file using the defined associations, double click the file name
- in the FTP window. If the file's extension matches that of a defined
- association it will be viewed using the defined external application. For
- example, double clicking on a ZIP file will display the contents of the
- archive. Any file for which there is no association is assumed to be a
- text file and will be displayed in the built-in text viewer window.
- Associations can be defined in the configure options notebook.
-
- To resume an interrupted file transfer, simply start the transfer again
- and select append from the file transfer prompt.
-
- To transfer files and directories from one site to another, simply drag
- objects from one FTP window to the other.
-
- To recursively delete directories on a site, make your selection then
- select delete.
-
- To synchronize directory trees between your system and a remote system,
- both the local and remote directory fields must changed to the
- directories that are to be synchronized.
-
- To filter the file list add the filter string to the end of the remote
- directory. For example, the following remote directory would only list
- ZIP files: /os2/incoming/*.zip To remove the filter refresh the
- directory.
-
- To change the font and color of a window, simply drag and drop them to
- the window. All changes will be saved.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Solutions to common problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- This section provides solutions to common problems.
-
- if there is a problem getting a list of files from a Windows for
- Workgroups/95/NT FTP server, try changing the site type in the site's
- properties notebook to DOS.
-
- if there is a problem connecting to sites on the internet through a
- firewall/proxy server, make sure that the "located behind firewall" check
- box is not checked. It should only be checked for sites within (local to)
- your LAN.
-
- if a site does not allow fully qualified path names when changing or
- listing a directory, the file list will be empty even though there are
- files. If this is the case then disable "fully qualify directory changes
- and listings" on the preferences page of the site's properties notebook.
-
- if you are having problems connecting through a firewall or connecting to
- a specific site, view the communications window and select save. Send
- this text file along with a description of the problem in an e-mail
- message to the address listed under support.
-
- if FTP Browser is slow accessing data files or creating a lot of disk
- activity, try using the install program to clean your data files. Refer
- to the install help for more information.
-
- if you would like to move FTP Browser to another location use the move
- function in the install program. Refer to the install help for more
- information.
-
- when closing the FTP window, it is normal if it takes up to 5 seconds to
- shut down.
-
