- Third pre-pre...pre release of FSP/2, a port of FSP to OS/2 using IBM's
- TCP/IP package version 1.2.1.
-
- This is FSP/2 version 0.3 pre-beta. This is still a pre-release! The executables
- in this package are not to be considered 100%. If they toast your system, too
- bad. They work just fine on my 486-33 with 16MB ram running the Dec 2.1 OS/2
- beta. I am stuck with a SLIP TCP/IP connection which limits my ability to test
- these executables. I've tried to make these executables function exactly the
- same as the UNIX versions; if they don't, let me know. OS/2 is a lot like UNIX
- (well, compared to DOS) so most features will be identical, however, some
- aspects of OS/2 are not like UNIX. I.E. the output of FCDCMD (which is dumped
- to stdout) is piped into the environment variable FSP_DIR; I can't figure out
- how to do this under OS/2 (ideas?). Remember, this is not even good enough to
- be a beta, beware.
-
- Known problems: I will cover problems specific to each executable in the Usage
- section. General problems are: CTRL-C doesn't kill the process; attempting to
- do an FGET or FLS on a file that does not exist may cause a protection fault.
- I believe this to be a problem with error control functions, I'm working on it.
- If you get a protection fault, you have to wait 60 seconds for the server to
- allow your requests again.
-
- FSP/2 will recognize the following environment variables:
-
- FSP_HOST : address of host system
- FSP_PORT : port on host system
- FSP_DIR : current dir on host system
- FSP_TRACE : controlls output of xfer status
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- FSP_LOCALPORT : I have not checked these out, so
- FSP_PASSWORD : I don't know if they work or what
- FSP_BUF_SIZE : they will do under OS/2. Try 'em
- FSP_DELAY : and let me know if they work
- FSP_LOCAL_DIR :
- FSP_TIMEOUT :
-
- USAGE: I'll get around to adding usefull info to the usage section later...
-
- FVER : Polls server for FSP version and configuration information.
- FLS : Get directory listing from server.
- FCDCMD : Returns protection values of the specified directory. It
- should set the FSP_DIR environment variable but it won't yet.
- OS/2 isn't allows this very easily.
- FGET : Get file(s) from server. Supports file globing. I don't know
- how the command line parameters will work. Not tested yet.
- FDUCMD : Get space consumed by remote files.
- FMKDIR : Make a directory on Server disk
- FPROCMD : Get or set directory protections on server system
- FPUT : Upload a file to server
- FRM : Remove file(s) on server
- FRMDIR : Remove a directory on server
-
-
- Well, good luck. I don't have a lot of time to test everything so I would like
- some feedback. I need some specific bug reports.

-
- The zip files will now be called FSP2-0nB.ZIP where n is the version number. I
- will upload new versions to hobbes.nmsu.edu and/or seismo.soar.cs.cmu.edu. If
- you have problems finding it, please let me know.
-
- My port uses code copyrighted by Wen-King Su and The Regents of the
- University of California. Thanks guys!
