- MFTP 1.34
- =========
-
- Dear mftp user,
-
- Only minor changes were made in 1.34 due to the fact that I'm spending
- most of my time with programming mftp II. At this moment (31.3.96) it is
- only capable to connect to remote hosts and retrieve the directory list
- (but in a far better way than mftp 1.34 does).
- The next things I have to program are filetransfer and a sophisticated
- directory caching (which will show you the files which are new since
- the last time you connected to a host !). If this is acomplished you will
- find some alpha test releases on http://www.unizh.ch/~dolphin/mftp .
- After that I'll implement an AmiNet Download Tool (simmilar to AmFTP -
- just better :) ).
-
- Here some other features which will be included:
- * every host has its individual setup !
- * drag and drop (i.g. drag and drop files from the Workbench or copy
- a file DIRECTLY from one host to another - without saving it on your
- amiga first !!!)
- * saves memory while running
- * everything will be interruptable (yes, even those requesters
- which appear while building a connection ! :)
- * copy directories recursively
- * improoved caching (faster)
- * config file in IFF format (changes in its structure won't
- affect the user anymore)
- * and hopefully (!) : proxy server support !
-

- Those who experienced problems with getting the contents of /aminet/recent
- will find the new added abort button useful. It will appear when mftp
- tries to get the real sizes of links.
- If you don't like this behaviour you will have to set "Treat links as:"
- either to "Files" or "Directories" !! If you set it to "Auto" mftp tries
- to check every link in a directory and since all files in /aminet/recent
- are links this may take a while.
-
- Have fun,
- Michael
