Ext2_FTP V1.1 Beta (Read Only)
------------------------------

This FTP clone will allow you to explore any partitions containing
an Extended FS 2 type file system. Currently this is read only, so
it cannot in any way alter the actual file system. It should work with
multiple ext2 partitions, but this is untested.

The program will begin with the current DOS directory being were you ran
it from, the current ext2 directory will be the root directory on the
first detected ext2 partition. All users are given root access currently,
this will likely be recified in a later version, escpecially if it becomes
read/write.

This program is desgined to be very similar in operation to ftp, so
most commands will work. Some extra commands are present and some old
commands are ommited.

Added commands:
chdrv,drv               Changes the currently active ext2 partition.
lcddrv,ldrv             Changes the local DOS drive.

Of the many commands not implemented as yet, the most commonly used are:
user                    Currently, ext2_ftp gives access to any file
open,close              This program can only connect to your own hard drive.
mget                    In a later version, perhaps.
put,mput                Ditto.


Note:
If 'get <filename>' doesn't work, note that it is case sensitive, and that the
destination filename has to be legal. Since many long filenames can't be used
under DOS, use 'get <src file> <dest file>' instead. Also note that the
ASCII/BINARY modes are implemented, and ASCII is the default.

One bug I've noted (amoungst many :) is that under Win95, this only works if
run from a DOS prompt, not from explorer directly. Why? I have no idea...

This program is freeware, and while I hope it runs correctly on any system,
I will not be held liable for any damage this program may cause. Please
distribute freely, as long as this file is included. All rights reserved

Well that's that bit out of the way...
