- I like xftp.0.2.alpha which has a Motif interface (and others). It is
- available at ftp.chpc.utexas.edu via anonymous in the directory
- packages/X as xftp.0.2.alpha.tar.Z. Readme is appended to this posting.
- This directory contains the source to xftp/mftp/oftp 0.1.alpha.
-
- To install edit xftp.config and choose the desired compile time options and
- then type "xmkmf" and then "make World". You can only choose one of the
- following USE_XAW, USE_MOTIF or USE_OPENWINDOW in xftp.config.
- They are mutely exclusive.
-
- I have include Wcl-2.2 in the source distribution. It will be build
- automatically.
-
- Special machines:
-
- HP-UX with motif installed in /usr/lib/Motif1.1 and X11R4 installed
- in /usr/lib/X11R4:
-
- Run the "make_hp.sh" script. This will build the motif
- version of mftp of xftp/mftp/oftp. You should be able to do a
- "make install" after the make script is finished.
-
- Ultrix with Motif installed in /usr/lib/DXM directions:
-
- Define USE_MOTIF in xftp.config.
- If you have Motif 1.1 installed in /usr/lib/DXM, ugh, you need only run
- the "make_ultrix.sh" shell script. This will build the motif
- version mftp of xftp/mftp/oftp. You should be able to do a "make install"
- after the make script is finished.
-
- SunOS with Openwindows 3.0 directions (xftp version):
-
- Define USE_XAW in xftp.config.
- Define the shell variable OPENWINHOME to the Openwindow 3.0 directory,
- if it s not installed in /usr/openwin, and then run the
- "make_openwin.sh" shell script. This will build the Athena version
- xftp of xftp/mftp/oftp. You should be able to do a "make install"
- after the make script is finished.
-
- SunOS with Openwindows 3.0 directions (oftp version):
-
- Define USE_OPENWINDOW in xftp.config.
- Define the shell variable OPENWINHOME to the Openwindow 3.0 directory,
- if it not installed in the default place /usr/openwin, and then run the
- "make_openwin.sh" shell script. This will build the Open Look version
- oftp of xftp/mftp/oftp. You should be able to do a "make install"
- after the make script is finished.
-
- Aix 3.2 with the installed motif libraries directions:
-
- Define USE_MOTIF in xftp.config.
- Run the "make_aix3.2.sh" script. This will build the motif
- version of mftp of xftp/mftp/oftp. You should be able to do a "make install"
- after the make script is finished.
-
- You will need perl if you plan to update the resource files or help text.
-
- You must use ftp_for_xftp if you do not select the USE_PTY option in the
- xftp.config file. If you are running Unicos 6.1.x you will need to to
- install fixpty if you do not select the PTY option. You can define the shell
- variable FTP to point to ftp_for_xftp. If you start xftp/mftp/oftp in the
- source directory it will find ftp_for_xftp if it is not already installed.
-
- If you have already installed a older version of xftp/mftp you may need
- to add the "-debug" parameter on xftp/mftp/oftp to test it out before you
- install it.
-
- I have build this version of xftp/mftp under:
-
- Ultrix with installed motif in /usr/lib/DXM (mftp version)
- SunOS with installed Athena libraries (xftp version)
- supplied with Openwindows 3.0.
- SunOS with installed Open Look libraries (oftp version)
- supplied with Openwindows 3.0.
- SunOS with X11R5. (xftp version)
- SunOS with X11R5 and motif 1.1.4 (mftp version)
- Unicos 6.1.4 with installed X11R4 and X11R5 (xftp version)
- Aix 3.2.0 with X11R5 (xftp version)
- Aix 3.2.0 with installed motif (mftp version)
- IRIX with installed X11R4 libraries (xftp version)
- IRIX with installed motif libraries (mftp version)
- Convex OS with installed motif (mftp version)
- Convex OS with installed Athena libraries (xftp version)
- HP-UX with installed motif (mftp version)
-
