- 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.
-
- WS_FTP also provides for automatic downloads of files. See HLP file
- for information on "Auto Transfer of Files".
-
- WS_FTP32 is the 32 bit version of WS_FTP for Windows NT and
- Windows 3.x with Win32s.
-
- The benefit of running WS_FTP32 vs WS_FTP is unknown on the
- Windows 3.x platform (other than it is 32 bit code). The
- benefit of running WS_FTP32 on Windows NT or Windows 95 is
- that it is multi-threaded on these platforms.
-
- If you have problems with WS_FTP32 under Win32s, please try
- using the 16 bit version of WS_FTP.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
- =============
-
- WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL
- and requires Windows 3.1 or later.
-
- If you don't have a WINSOCK.DLL, I'd suggest getting the
- free one from Microsoft or the shareware Trumpet Winsock
- from ftp.trumpet.com.au or buying a vendor supported one
- from Ipswitch, Inc. or from FTP Software, Inc.
-
- WS_FTP32 requires Windows NT, Windows 95 or Win32s 1.15 (or later)
-
- Windows NT and Windows 95 come with a WINSOCK.DLL. If you
- use a different vendors stack on these platforms you will
- need to replace the WSOCK32.DLL that comes with the OS.
-
- WS_FTP requires a 286 processor.
-
- WS_FTP32 requires a 386 processor.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
- =============
-
- YOU MUST HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED WINSOCK.DLL FOR THIS APPLICATION
- TO WORK. REFER TO YOUR WINSOCK.DLL DOCUMENTATION FOR SETUP!!
-
- 1. Create a directory for this program and copy WS_FTP.EXE,
- WS_FTP.INI, WS_FTP.EXT and WS_FTP.HLP to that 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.
-
-
- UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS:
- ================================
-
- PLEASE KEEP YOUR OLD WS_FTP.INI FILE!!!!
-
- If you have problems with this version, edit your old INI file
- and delete the [_config_] section and restart WS_FTP.
-
-
- VALID COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
- ===========================
-
- -i inifile (must be first in the line!)
- -p profile_name (cannot be used with gets or puts!)
- -ask (prompt for command line)
- ftp://remotehost/pathname/filename [local:/pathname/filename] [-ascii]
- file://remotehost/pathname/filename [local:/pathname/filename] [-ascii]
- //remotehost/pathname/filename [local:/pathname/filename] [-ascii]
- remotehost:/pathname/filename [local:/pathname/filename] [-ascii]
- local:/pathname/filename //remotehost/pathname/filename [-ascii]

-
-
- THE 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).
- (or /pub/msdos/winsock.files/ws_ftp32.zip for the 32 bit version)
- 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.
-
- The latest version is usually uploaded winftp.cica.indiana.edu in
- the /pub/pc/win3/winsock directory as ws_ftp.zip.
-
- Source code for the 93.12.05 version is in the file ws_ftp_s.zip
- in the /pub/msdos/winsock.files directory on ftp.usma.edu.
-
-
- BUG REPORTS, SUGGESTIONS, ETC...
- ================================
-
- If you connect to a host that WS_FTP doesn't recognize (i.e. listboxes
- remain blank or are displayed incorrectly).
-
- 1. Try the different host types that are listed in the options dialog
- box. (the change takes affect immediately, you do not need to
- change directories, etc..)
-
- 2. If you can't find one that displays the directory correctly, then:
-
- a. click on the LogWnd button and save the message log to a file
- b. click on the remote side DirInfo button and save the contents
- to a different file.
- c. mail both files to "junodj@css583.gordon.army.mil"
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Send all bug reports, suggestions, etc to "junodj@css583.gordon.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, alt.winsock and
- in the windows groups on usenet and places like compuserve. Let
- people know about it!
-
-
- KNOWN PROBLEMS
- ==============
-
- Many internet providers require you to use PASV mode in order
- for WS_FTP to work properly. If you always get "Dirlist
- returned 0", try changing this setting under Advanced in the
- Connect dialog or in Session Options. This is NOT a true
- problem in WS_FTP but is a requirement of your network
- provider.
-
- Some versions of the Trumpet Winsock DLL require you to use
- PASV mode. See the above note.
-
- WS_FTP does not work properly under some versions of the SPRY
- stack. You need to contact SPRY to get an upgraded stack
- that is Winsock compliant.
-
- WS_FTP32 does not work properly when using the 16 bit version
- of Chameleon or Trumpet Winsock on Windows NT or Windows 95.
- You need to replace the WSOCK32.DLL provided by Microsoft
- with one from the network stack vendor.
-
-
