- Windows Sockets FTP Client Application - Beta 5 Version 93.10.24
-
-
- 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. I have not been told of
- WS_FTP not working with any vendor's WINSOCK.DLL. My testing
- and personal installation is with the Trumpet WinSock Alpha 15.
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. Copy the executable WS_FTP.EXE into any desired directory.
- 2. 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. To delete host names from the host listing, manually edit
- WINSOCK.INI in your windows directory. Hosts are listed
- in the [WS_FTP] section.
-
- 3. 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.
-
- 4. 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.
-
- 5. If you want to change to a directory with traversing the full
- tree, make sure there is no name selected in the list box and
- click on ChgDir (works with RmDir also).
-
- 6. You can double click on a directory name to change to that
- directory or double click on a file name to transfer that file.
-
- 7. Use Binary mode to transfer all files unless you know the file
- only contains text, then use ASCII.
-
- 8. 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.
-
- 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.
-
- Bug reports, suggestions, etc...
-
- Send all bug reports, suggestions, etc to "junodj@gordon-css583.army.mil"
- or to "72321,366" on compuserve or to "jjunod" on america-on-line.
-
- If you like this program, let other people know about it!
- Post your comments in comp.protocol.tcp-ip.ibmpc.
-
- If you want to help...
-
- Source code to this program is freely available in the WS_FTP.ZIP file.
- If you make a change, let me know about it. I also need someone to
- write a Windows Help file for this thing. If you then send me the source
- to that, I will code context sensitive help into WS_FTP.
-
- Soapbox on....
- Make public domain software work. If you are like me, then you
- benefit from what other people put in the public domain, so now
- donate back to the public domain whatever you can. Shareware is
- great but where would the Internet be without all the public domain
- software that was released in the early years???? This doesn't mean
- that you have to give up everything you ever wrote, but surely you
- can help a little.
- Soapbox off.

- This program executable and all source code is released into the public
- domain. It would be nice (but is not required) 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
- the transfer mode; ascii, binary or l8. All controls are standard Windows
- controls.
