and positions will restored.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.4. Connect to a different host ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You must create a FTP Browser object on your desktop for every host you would
like to connect to.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.5. Change host settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The host settings can be changed on the Host page of the FTP Browser object's
properties notebook.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1.6. Change connection settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The connection settings can be changed on the Connection page of the FTP
Browser object's properties notebook.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. FTP Browser objects ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section describes how to create FTP Browser objects and configure their
properties notebook settings.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.1. FTP Browser object ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Use the FTP Browser template in your templates folder or FTP Sites folder to
create a new FTP Browser object. Alternatively you could select create another
from popup menu of any existing FTP Browser object to create a new one. This
object will point to the FTP site of your choice. Simply enter the FTP
information when the properties notebook is displayed. After closing the
properties notebook, click the newly formed object to connect to this FTP site.
The system menu for every FTP Browser object contains 2 additional menu items.
These are store all objects and restore objects. The first option will store
every FTP Browser object to a file in your FTP Browser directory. This is a
convenient way to backup all of your object's settings before you reinstall FTP
Browser. These objects can then be restored after you install FTP Browser by
using the restore option from the same popup menu. Restore will place all
restored objects into a new folder on yuor desktop. These objects may be moved
to anywhere you like.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2. Host properties notebook page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This properties page contains many fields for configuring your connection to a
specific FTP host when you click on this object. Many of these fields
initially contain default values that were specified when FTP Browser was
installed. Click on an item below for a detailed description of the field:
Host address
Host type
User name
Prompt for password
Password
Remote directory
Local directory
Set as default
The default values for newly created objects can be changed by reinstalling
FTP Browser. For more information on reinstallation select help from the
installation program window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.1. Host address ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This field specifies the address or name of the host you want to connect to.
It is recommended that you enter the host's name, rather than the address,
since this field is used to determine the object's title. This is a required
field and can not be left empty, unless this object is a template. If the
field is emtpy when you close the properties notebook, the previous host
address and icon title are restored.
Example of a host name: hobbes.nmsu.edu
Example of a host address: 128.123.35.151
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.2. Host type ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This field specifies the type of FTP server the host is running. You will not
have to change this field in most cases, because most FTP servers can be
auto-detected. If FTP Browser hangs while retrieving the directory listing,
you should then specify the type of host it is. If the host is not listed,
then please send me e-mail at the address listed in the support window.
Include in your e-mail message, the type of FTP server software the host runs
and a directory listing of one of the host's directories. You can use OS/2's
command line FTP program to get the results for the above.
This is how:
1. Connect to the host.
2. Issue the command: quote syst
3. Issue the command: dir
4. Copy all of the output to OS/2's clipboard.
5. Paste the contents of the clipboard into your e-mail.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.3. Username ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The value of this field will be the name that a remote host you connect to
recognizes as your user name. Many public sites allow users to login
anonymously, in which case the user name should be anonymous.
The user name is limited to a length of 49 characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.4. Prompt for password ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This field specifies if you will be prompted for a password when you start FTP
Browser. If this button is checked, the password field will be disabled and
you will be prompted just before the host connection is made.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.5. Password ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The value of this field should be the password for your user name. If you
would like to login anonymously, then use your e-mail address as your password.
You can leave this field empty if your user name does not require a password.
The password is limited to a length of 49 characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.6. Remote directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specifies the path that will be accessed on the host. It must be a fully
qualified path name and begin with a backslash. If this path does not exist,
the host will determine the initial path.
The remote directory is limited to a length of 99 characters.
Example c:\os2\warp\incoming
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.7. Local directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specifies the path on your system that FTP Browser will use to store files
retrieved from the host. It must include a drive letter and a fully qualified
path name without the trailing slash. If this path does not exist, the root
directory of the specified drive will be used. If the drive does not exist,
the root directory of the drive from which OS/2 was booted will be used.
Example c:\tcpip\download
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.2.8. Set as default ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Pressing this button will update every object with the values you supplied on
this notebook page. The host addresss, host type and remote directory fields
are excluded from the update.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3. Connection properties notebook page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This properties page contains many fields for configuring your connection to a
specific FTP host when you click on this object. Many of these fields
initially contain default values that were specified when FTP Browser was
installed. Click on an item below for a detailed description of the field:
Override object title
Overwrite local files
Proxy login
Port
Timeout
Set as default
The default values for newly created objects can be changed by reinstalling
FTP Browser. For more information on reinstallation select help from the
installation program window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.1. Override object title ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
FTP Browser object titles are automatically set to the host's address plus the
remote directory. Every time you close the properties notebook the object's
title will be updated. You can override the automatic changing of the object's
title if you select this button. To change the object's title, hold down the
Alt key and press mouse button 1 on the object. Type in the new title and then
click mouse button 1 on the object's icon to save the title.
Example of an object's title with override set to off
Host address: ftp.site.com
Remote directory: /os2/incoming
Object's title: ftp.site.com/os2/incoming
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.2. Overwrite local files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specifies whether files in your local download directory will be replaced with
files retrieved from the host that have identical names. If this field is not
checked, files retrieved from the host that have identical names will be
automatically renamed. Unique file names are determined by appending an
underscore and a number to the file name. If this method fails to find a unique
file name, the local file will be replaced.
Example
Original file name: filename.txt
Renamed file: filename.txt_1
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.3. Proxy login ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this button is checked, FTP Browser will login to your proxy server before
connecting to the FTP host. This button will be disabled if you did not enable
proxy logins during the installation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.4. Port ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The value of this field specifies the port number for which FTP Browser should
use to connect to the host. The default port number for the FTP protocol and
FTP Browser is 21. This should generally not be changed unless the host uses a
non-standard port.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.3.5. Timeout ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that FTP Browser waits for data from
the host, before concluding that the connection has been lost. This setting
prevents the application from hanging, or waiting indefinitely, if your FTP or
internet connection drops unexpectedly. If internet traffic is extremely
heavy, you should consider increasing this value.
Setting the timeout value to 0 does not force FTP Browser to wait indefinitely,
but rather that it will not wait at all.
The maximum timeout value is 1800 seconds (1 hour).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4. FTP Browser properties notebook pages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This notebook section is divided into three pages that provide global settings
for FTP Browser sessions. Select from the following for information on these
pages. View File and directory Proxy
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4.1. FTP Browser view configuration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Menu bar - if this is checked the menu bar accross the top of FTP
Browser's main window will be visible.
Tool bar - if this checked the graphical toolbar accross the top of FTP
Browser's main window will be visible.
Hover help - if this checked the hover help will be available when the
mouse pointer is over top of a toolbar button. This feature will
automatically be disabled if the tool bar is not enabled.
Transfer window - if this checked the file transfer status window will be
displayed during file transfers. If this is not checked there will be a
transfer status area along the bottom of the main window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4.2. File and directory configuration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
File options
Attach transfer EAs - if this checked, information about the file
transfer is attached as extended attributes to every file that is
received.
Auto-save text viewer - if this is checked, text files that are viewed in
the text viewer will be saved by default when the window is closed, a new
file is loaded into the window or when FTP Browser is exited while the
text viewer is active.
Batch file to execute after transfers - if a batch file name is supplied
here, it will be executed after a file transfer if the execute batch file
button is checked on the file transfer status window.
Directory options
Default sort attribute - this specifies how file in the remote file list
will be sorted by default. Possible values are ascending file date,
descending file date, file name, file size and file type.
Filter directories - if this is checked, files in the remote file list
will not be visible if the first character of their name is a '.'. These
files usually represent system files on the host's system and are
generally of no use to the average user.
Directories to cache - this specifies the number of directorie listings
that FTP Browser should keep locally. This will reduce the amount of
time spent navigating the host.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.4.3. Proxy configuration ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Proxy connection - if this is checked a proxy connection will be
established before connecting to the FTP host. You must supply at least
the server address and port.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Windows ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
FTP Browser contains several windows. Select from the following list for a
detailed description of the window:
Main window
Connect
Text viewer
Batch file list
Search remote files
Create directory
Quick path
Communications log
Transfer status
Change local directory
Register
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.1. Main window ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Many of FTP Browser's features can be accessed from the main window's popup
menu, and this will be described first.
The menu contains several choices, which perform various actions. These
choices and their associated actions are described briefly below. For more
detailed information, click on the item of interest.
File submenu
Get - This will immediately retrieve all the currently selected files
from the host to your computer. These files will be stored in your
current download directory.
Binary - This will toggle the file transfer mode to either binary or
ascii. If binary mode is active, this menu item will be checked.
Abort - This will terminate the current file transfer. Some hosts will
drop the FTP connection after the first or second abort requests, so use
this sparingly.
Remove - This will remove the selected files from the host.
Batch list submenu
Add - This will insert the currently selected file names into the batch
file list..
Edit - This will surface the batch list window and allow removal of batch
list items.
Mget - This will retrieve all the files in the batch file list from the
host into your current download directory.
Directory submenu
Sort - This will sort the file list by the attribute you select in the
cascading submenu. The possible sort criteria are ascending date,
descending date, file name, file size or file type. The default is to
sort by descending date. This default can be changed from the file and
directory configuration properties notebook page.
Search - This will surface the search window and allow you to search for
a file name in the file list based on the text specified.
Refresh - This will reload the file list from the host, by-passing the
directory cache.
Create - This will surface the create directory window, from which you
specify the name of the directory to create.
Remove - This will remove the selected directories from the host.
Quick path submenu
Add - This will add the current remote directory to the list of quick
paths. A maximum of 10 quick paths can be defined. Quick paths are
designed to allow fast access to frequently visited directories on host
systems.
Edit - This will surface the quick path window and allow removal of quick
paths that have been defined.
Options submenu
View log - This surfaces the communications log window. All conversation
between the server and FTP Browser is displayed in this window. This
feature is useful in determining problems.
Help submenu
Help contents - This displays the help library's table of contents from
which you can choose a topic to get help on.
Help index - This displays a list of help items from which you can choose
a topic to get help on.
General help - This displays general help for the active window.
Using help - This displays instructions on how to use the FTP Browser
help facility.
Keys help - This displays a list of accelerator and useful keys that aid
in easily and efficiently navigating FTP Browser.
Registration information - This displays information on how to register
FTP Browser.
Product information - This displays information about FTP Browser and
support.
The toolbar is located directly beneath the menu bar. It consists of several
graphic buttons, which provide quick access to some of the frequently used
menu items. The pictures on the buttons are indicative of the actions they
perform. If you place the mouse over a button, a "hover help" window is
displayed immediately below the button. This window briefly describes the
action that would be performed if the button were clicked. These buttons are
explained below:
Filer -> Get
File -> Binary
File -> Abort
Batch list -> Add
Batch list -> Edit
Batch list -> Mget
Directory -> Search
Directory -> Refresh
Quick path -> Add
Quick path -> Edit
Options -> View log
Help -> Main window help
The next item in the main window is the remote file list (file list). The
popup menu is available within the file list. Every file in this list has 5
fields. The first is an icon representing the file type. Secondly, the file
name. Then the file size in bytes. The last two fields are the file date and
time according to the host's file system. A file name of ".." represents the
parent directory. Any number of file names in the list can be selected. When
performing actions on selected files, the action will affect all of them. Any
file name can be double clicked. If you double click on a directory or link,
the current directory will change. If you double click on a file, that file
will be loaded into the text viewer as a text file. You can drag selected
files from the file list and drop them anywhere on your desktop. This will
retrieve these files. To send files to the host, you must drag the file
object from your desktop and drop it on the file list.
The main window's title bar shows the host's name or address that you are
connected to. During file transfers the title bar also displays the
percentage of the tranfer that is complete. This is useful for determining
how a transfer is progressing through the window list when FTP Browser is
minimized.
At the top of the main window are the local and remote directory fields.
Initially these will contain default values. The local directory specifies
where retrieved files are to be stored. It must include a drive letter and a
fully qualified path name without the trailing slash. If the path you enter
does not exist, the directory will not change. You must press the enter key
after changing the local directory. Beside the local directory field are two
buttons. The first, which resembles a folder, opens the local directory's
folder on your desktop. The second, which resembles a magnifying glass, will
display the change local directory window.
The remote directory specifies the path that will be accessed on the host. It
must be a fully qualified path name and begin with a backslash. If the path
you enter does not exist, the remote directory will not be changed. You must
press the enter key after changing the remote directory. The remote directory
field also contains a "drop down list" of quick paths, if you have defined
any. Selecting a quick path automatically changes to that directory on the
host. Next to the remote directory field is a button with an arrow on it.
This button provides a fast method to change to the parent directory.
Across the bottom of the main window is the status line. The first field
displays informational text that notifies the user of the current status.
Some minor errors could be noted in this field. The other three fields on the
status line are only active during file transfers. The first field is the
average transfer speed in kilobytes per second of each individual file. The
second field displays the estimated amount of time remaining before the total
transfer is complete, in hours, minutes and seconds. The last field displays
the percentage of the total transfer that is complete.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.2. Connect ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When FTP Browser is initially started, the connection window is displayed.
This window displays the connection in progress, specifically the host's name,
connection status and connect attempt number. This window will also be
displayed during a reconnect. From this window you can select exit to
terminate the connection in progress. 10 attempts will be made every 2 seconds
to connect to busy hosts. After the number of attempts has elapsed, FTP
Browser will inform you and then terminate. When a connection is made, the
connection window closes and the main FTP Browser window is surfaced.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3. Text viewer ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This window displays text files that are on the host.
If you would like to save a copy of this file in your download directory select
save. The fully qualified file name to which the file will be saved, is
displayed in the titlebar of the text viewer window.
If you do not want a copy of this file on your system, then select close.
Note: If you do not save or close the file, the next time you view a text file
the previous file will be replaced with the new one.
Selecting search will display the search window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.3.1. Search text view ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This allows you to search for text in the text viewer window. If a match is
found, the found text is highlighted. The search window's titlebar text
displays whether the search was successful.
If you select case sensitive, the search becomes case sensitive.
If you select from cursor position, the search will begin from the text
viewer's cursor position. All searches would otherwise begin at the top of the
viewer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.4. Batch file list ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This is a list of file names that have been queued for retrieval from the host.
These file names can span multiple paths on the host. This allows you to
browse a host system, adding files of interest to the list as you browse, and
then transfer them as a group afterwards.
You can remove files from the list by selecting them and either pressing the
remove button or double clicking one of the selections.
The title bar displays the size of the list in bytes. This is calculated by
summing up the size of each file in the list as it appears on the host's
system.
If there is an error while retrieving a file, the batch transfer continues with
the next file in the list.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.5. Search remote files ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This allows you to search for a file name in the file list. The text you
specify is searched for as a substring of the file name. If a match is found,
the file name is selected. The search window's titlebar text displays whether
the search was successful.
If you select case sensitive, the search becomes case sensitive.
If you select from cursor position, the search will begin immediately following
the file name that the cursor is on. All searches would otherwise begin with
the first file name in the list.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.6. Create directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Specify the directory you want created on the host. You may specify a fully
qualified pathname, or simply the directory name, in which case the directory
you specify will be created in the current directory.
Select OK to create the directory. Select cancel to close this window without
creating the directory.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.7. Quick path ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This displays a list of all the quick paths that have been defined.
You can remove quick paths from the list by selecting them and either pressing
the remove button or double clicking one of the selections. Only 10 quick
paths can be defined at a time, so it would be wise to remove unused quick
paths.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.8. Communications log ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This window displays a list of all communication between the ftp proxy server
and FTP host, and FTP Browser. This window is convenient for tracking problems
with various servers.
You can copy the text in this window to your clipboard using standard text
selection and copy procedures (eg. ctrl+insert keys).
Select save to save the entire log to a file name that you will be prompted
for. If you select an existing file name you will be asked if it should be
replaced.
Select close to close the window.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.9. Transfer status ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This window displays information about the status of file transfers. If you do
not want this window displayed, you can disable it on the file and directory
configuration page of the properties notebook of any FTP Browser object. The
file name, file size and number of bytes transferred for the current file are
displayed across the top. The topmost transfer progress indicator also
reflects the status of the current file. The average speed, estimated transfer
time remaining and the lower transfer progress indicator reflect the transfer
status of all of the files to be transferred.
Along the bottom of the transfer status window are to buttons. If the
disconnect button is checked FTP Browser will close the connection and exit
after the file transfer is complete and, if specified, the batch file has been
executed. If the execute batch file button is checked, the batch file you
supplied in the batch file to execute after transfers field will be executed
immediately following the file transfer.
Select abort to stop the transfer operation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.10. Change local directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can select a local download directory from this window. It is provided
mainly for convenience so that users can browse the directories with their
mouse. Double clicking on a drive or directory changes the current download
directory.
Select open to change to that local download directory. Select cancel to close
the window and discard any changes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3.11. Register ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There are two fields to enter the registration information that you will
receive if you decide to purchase this product. Both fields are required to
successfully register.
The registered to field is where your name goes, and it must be identical to
the name you supplied when you purchased FTP Browser.
The next field is where the registration code that you were supplied with goes.
Make sure that the code you enter is identical to the code you received.
To complete the registration, select the save button.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Accelerator keys ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This is a list of the accelerator keys that have been defined. These keys can
save you a lot of time while accessing FTP Browser's frequently used features,
because you do not have to navigate through the menus. All of the control +
character keys have been defined for both uppercase and lowercase characters.
Main window keys:
F1 Help for main window
Alt+F4 Exit
Ctl+G File -> Get
Ctl+B File -> Binary
Ctl+O File -> Abort
Ctl+A Batch list -> Add
Ctl+E Batch list -> Edit

Ctl+K Help -> Help for keys
Other window keys:
F1 Help for window specific help
Esc Close
Alt+F4 Close
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 5. Troubleshooting ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Sometimes when you reinstall a reboot will be required before you can use FTP
Browser. This is because the DLL and HLP files can only be replaced before the
Workplace Shell starts. FTP Browser will not operate properly if you do not
reboot.
If you are having problems with a proxy server or specific FTP host. 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.
When exiting FTP Browser during a connection attempt or FTP operation, it is
normal if it takes up to 5 seconds to shut down.
The "connection has been dropped" error message could be misleading. If the
host or internet connection is extremely slow, it is possible that the timeout
value will expire. You can decrease this value on the connection page in the
properties notebook of the FTP Browser object.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Support and product updates ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you have questions, suggestions or bug reports, use any of the following
contact methods. Registered users will receive first priority, although I will
surely make an effort to respond to unregistered users as well.
