Year 2000 Compliance
====================
WS_FTP Pro is Year 2000 compliant, meaning that neither performance
nor functionality are affected by dates prior to, during, and after
the year 2000. For more detailed information see the following pages
on our web site: www.ipswitch.com/support/year2000.html.
WS_FTP Pro Classic and Explorer
===============================
Description
-----------
WS_FTP Professional is a Windows-based file transfer client
application that transfers files between a userÆs local PC and
another, remote computer system connected via a modem and telephone
lines or by a local-area network. With WS_FTP Pro, users can connect
to any remote system that has a valid Internet address and an FTP
server program, browse through directories and files, and transfer
files between the two systems. In addition, users can create, change,
and remove directories and view, execute, rename, or delete files.
WS_FTP Pro complies with the Windows sockets (Winsock) standard,
allowing you to transfer files between a wide variety of systems,
including Windows, OS/2, and UNIX systems.
WS_FTP Pro is shipped with two user interfaces: the "classic" which
looks like a standard Windows application, and the Explorer with a
user interface that is fully integrated into the Windows Explorer.
New Features
------------
- New easier to use graphical interface for connecting/managing
sites (Classic and Explorer)
- Multiple Firewall support (Classic and Explorer)
Known Problems (WS_FTP Pro Classic)
-----------------------------------
- None at this time.
Known Problems (WS_FTP Pro Explorer)
------------------------------------
-Paste menu option may not be available when using
Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste on early versions of Windows 95.
To work around this problem: open a local folder, select a
file and press CTRL-C, then select a remote file. This only
needs to be done once after starting Windows.
-If IE 4.x is installed with the Active Desktop,
opening windows does not honor the "open in new window"
Explorer->View option and will always open in the same window.
Hold the SHIFT key down and open the folder.
-On permission errors, you see an error screen that has
a Continue and Cancel button; both buttons do the same thing.
Explanation: Only happens if there are no more actions,
otherwise Continue behaves differently than Cancel.
-Occasionally, a file listing may duplicate or a change
that you made may not seem to have taken affect. If this
occurs, select a file or folder in the display and press F5.
-If a site is selected in the tree and you disconnect
from it, double clicking on the site does not re-establish
a connection. Solution: Press F5.
-There is no method within the FTP protocol to set up one port
for a proxy/firewall and a different port for the FTP site.
Whatever is set for the firewall is what will be used.
-Opening the LogWnd and doing a Save, at the same time as a
download is happening, seems to hang the application.
-When trying to transfer entire directory structures, WS_FTP
aborts when it encounters a link in a UNIX directory. The actual
site is ftp.cdrom.com, and the link is:
/pub/linux/redhat/redhat-5.1/i386/misc/src/trees/initrd/linuxrc.
It appears that the link is broken. In any case, there is no
workaround, and one must fall back to manual methods.
Updates to the User's Guide (Classic and Explorer)
==================================================
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Find Utility
===================
Description
-----------
The WS_FTP Find Utility lets users search an FTP site for files
that match the userÆs criteria. This is especially useful for
anyone who is looking for one file on a large, complex FTP site.
Known Problems
--------------
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Scripting Utility
========================
Description
-----------
- The WS_FTP Scripting Utility automates the transfer and
management of files through FTP commands such as open, get,
and put. For example, you can create a script that instructs
WS_FTP Pro to upload certain files, and then use a scheduling
program to run the script at the same time each day or week.
- Script lines that start with ';' are comments and are ignored by
the command processor.
Known Problems
--------------
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Synchronize Utility
==========================
Description
-----------
- The WS_FTP Synchronize Utility is designed to allow you to
"mirror" folders and directories between your PC and a remote FTP
server. It lets you keep remote sites up-to-date by automatically
uploading files which have changed, while deleting files that have
been removed from the master directory. This is especially useful
for quickly and efficiently updating live web sites from an
authoring site, or for mirroring FTP servers.
Known Problems
--------------
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Pro Icon Placement
=========================
Description
-----------
- The WS_FTP Icon Placement utility is used to place or remove
icons for WS_FTP Pro (Classic and Explorer) to or from
My Computer and/or Windows Desktop.
Known Problems
--------------
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Queueing Utility
========================
Description
-----------
- The WS_FTP Queuing Utility is designed to work with the scripting
utility and schedule scripts to be executed at a later time with out
user intervention. The interface allows you to drag files from other
WS_FTP interfaces and web ftp URLs, drop on them on the Queue list
to automatically create a script to download the droped file and let
you schedule it for later execution.
Known Problems
---------------
- None at this time.
WS_FTP Browser Integration
==========================
Description
-----------
- The browser Integration Utility will intercept ftp URLs accessed via
your browser and use WS_FTP Pro technology to complete the file transfer.
