- Short: Arexx link for GadMGet & AmiFTP/DaFTP V2.10
- Author: peterh@fl.net.au
- Uploader: peterh@fl.net.au
- Type: comm/net
-
- This is FTPGadReq V2.10, a simple utility for use with DaFTP or AMIFTP.
-
- **** REQUIRES REQREXXTOOLS.LIBRARY, GadMGet, & GZip ****
- **** Available on Aminet****
-
- FTPGadReq is an Arrex script which filters the output from GadMGet, and
- then gets the selected file using AmiFTP or DaFTP. When run, it will
- display a requester with 5 options
-
- RECENT.Z ---- GET RECENT.Z from your Aminet host, and extract it
-
- RECENT ---- GET RECENT from your host
-
- OLD ---- use the local RECENT file
-
- INDEX ---- use the local INDEX file
-
- REUSE ---- use the output from the last run of FTPGadReq. (if using
- the CLIP: device, this may have been overwritten)
-
-
- GadMget will then run, using the selected file as source.
- When files have been selected, and GadMget quit, AmiFTP will then get these
- files for you.
-
- When the file has been received, the description for it in Recent or Index
- will be added as a file note.
-
- FTPGadReq also needs some variables to be set by you These are:
-
-
- client ---- Either AMIFTP or DAFTP
-
- GadPath ---- This is the full path name of GadMget on your system
-
- Recent ---- This is the full pathname for your RECENT file (should be in
- your downloads drawer)
-
- Index ---- This is the full pathname for your INDEX file (can be anywhere)
-
- GadOut ---- This is the full path to the file GadMGet writes it's output to
-
- scre ---- The Public Screen which you use for your FTP client (if none
- then set to 'Workbench')
-
- downl ---- The path to your download area (must end in ':' or '/')
-
-
- The variables must be set correctly, and gzip must be in your path for all
- options to work.
-
- One note for AmiFTP users: A transfer started via Arexx will not RESUME
- an interupted transfer, as the check for an existing file is done before
- the client gets the file size from the server, at least this is the case
- with version 1.0
-
-
-
- This script is freeware, do with it as you will.
