- | Windows Sockets FTP Client Application - - Version 93.12.05
- =====================================================================
-
- Description:
-
- This application is a standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client
- application for Windows Sockets. The user interface for this FTP
- client is designed with the novice FTP user in mind. Usage should
- be obvious. For more information on FTP please refer to the many
- different NETNEWS groups or one of the recent books on the Internet.
-
- Requirements:
-
- WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL
- and requires Windows 3.1 or later. My testing and personal
- installation is with the Trumpet WinSock Alpha 18.
- (There may be some problems with IBM OS/2 TCP/IP and with NOVELL!)
-
- Installation:
-
- YOU MUST HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED WINSOCK.DLL FOR THIS APPLICATION
- TO WORK. REFER TO YOUR WINSOCK.DLL DOCUMENTATION FOR SETUP!! YOU
- MUST ALSO HAVE YOUR LOCAL PC NAME AND ADDRESS IN THE HOSTS FILE!
-
- 1. Copy the executable WS_FTP.EXE into any desired directory.
- | 2. Copy the WS_FTP.INI file into your Windows directory.
- | 3. Create an ICON in any Program Manager group.
- a. Use the File Manager and drag the program into a Program
- Manager group.
- b. Use [F]ile [N]ew in the Program Manager.
-
- Options:
-
- Viewer This is the program that is invoked for LongDir and
- Display buttons.
-
- EMail This is used as the default password for anonymous
- logins as required by most anonymous ftp sites.
-
- Auto Connect Controls whether or not WS_FTP displays the connect
- dialog box when it first starts.
-
- Verbose (should be labeled debug) Enables extra debug messages
- in the debug window.
-
- Prompt Enables local/remote filename prompting.
-
- Hash unimplemented
-
- Store Unique unimplemented
-
- Receive Unique Causes received file names to not conflict with existing
- files.
-
- PORT Cmds JUST LEAVE THIS ON FOR THE TIME BEING!
-
- CR Stripping unimplemented
-
- Bell Causes bell to sound at end of file transfers
-
- Globbing unimplemented
-
- Case unimplemented
-
- Transfer Mode
-
- ASCII Used for TEXT file tranferring
-
- Binary Used for non-TEXT file transferring
-
- L8 Used for VMS non-TEXT file transferring
-
-
- Hints:
-
- 1. To set the default local startup directory to be something
- other than where WS_FTP is located
- a. Highlight the WS_FTP icon and press ALT-ENTER.
- b. Change the Working Directory to your desired directory.
-
- 2. If you have problems with remote to local file name conversions,
- check the Prompt option in the Options dialog box. You will
- then be shown the proposed file name and allowed to change it.
-
- 3. If you get a message that you can't get the "ftp" entry, you
- probably don't have your WINSOCK.DLL setup correctly. As an
- example, when using Trumpet WinSock, I find it works best if
- you put WINSOCK.DLL, PROTOCOL, SERVICES, HOSTS, TCPMAN.EXE
- and TRUMPWSK.INI all in the Windows directory. Either that or
- start TCPMAN before you start WS_FTP.
-
- 4. If you want to change to a directory without traversing the full
- tree, make sure there is no name selected in the list box and
- click on ChgDir (works with RmDir also).
-
- 5. You can double click on a directory name to change to that
- directory or double click on a file name to transfer that file.
-
- 6. Use Binary mode to transfer all files unless you know the file
- only contains text, then use ASCII.
-
- 7. If you use Display to display a remote file and then wish to
- save that file and have the viewer set to NOTEPAD, you can
- select the SaveAs menu option and save the file to whatever
- name you want.
-
- | 8. To transfer multiple files, use the SHIFT or CTRL keys when
- | selecting filenames. (this is a standard windows method)
- |
- | 9. You can drag one of more files from the Windows File Manager and
- | drop them anywhere on the main window (or when iconized) and
- | they will be transfered to the current directory of the remote
- | host using the current transfer mode (ascii/binary). You cannot
- | drag and drop directories, nor can you drag or drop from the
- | remote host to another application.
- |
- | 10. If you can connect to a remote host but don't get a directory
- | listing try changing the host type in the connect dialog box.
- | I am still working on the "auto detect". It does take care of
- | about 80% of all hosts.
- |
- | biochemistry.cwru.edu use KA9Q/NOS
- | ftp.uwp.edu use WinQVT/Net
-
- Latest Version:
-
- The latest version of this application should always be the file
- /pub/msdos/winsock.files/ws_ftp.zip on ftp.usma.edu (129.29.64.246).
- To access it, enter 129.29.64.246 as the host name and check the
- "anonymous login" box in the WS_FTP connect dialog box.

-
- If you want to help...
-
- Source code to this program is freely available in the WS_FTP.ZIP file.

- This program executable and all source code is released into the public
- domain. It would be nice to give me a little credit for any use of this
- code. The primary purpose of this application was to learn what it
- takes to write a Windows Sockets Application.
-
- The user interface for this FTP client is designed with the novice FTP
- user in mind. Usage should (??) be obvious with the possible exception
- of the transfer mode; ascii, binary or l8. All controls are standard
- Windows controls.
