- DESCRIPTION:
- ============
-
- This application is a standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client
- application for Windows Sockets. The user interface for this FTP
- client is designed with the novice FTP user in mind. Usage should
- be obvious. For more information on FTP please refer to the many
- different NETNEWS groups or one of the recent books on the Internet.
- WS_FTP32 is the 32 bit version of WS_FTP for Windows NT, Windows 95
- and Windows 3.x with Win32s.
-
- You can not run WS_FTP32 or WS_FTP95 with 16 bit Trumpet stack on
- Windows 95!!! WS_FTP32 and WS_FTP95 require a 32 bit network stack
- on a 32 bit operating system!
- (hint: get the 32 bit version of Trumpet if you want to run Trumpet)
-
- There are multiple versions of WS_FTP. These are included in the
- ZIP file with an INSTALL program.
-
- WS_FTP.exe (FTPPRO.exe) is designed to operate in a 16 bit environment
- but will work in any Windows environment.
-
- WS_FTP32.exe (FTP32PRO.exe) is designed to operate in a 32 bit
- environment as provided in Windows 3.x with Win32s,
- Windows 95, Windows NT and OS/2.

- threaded environment as provided by Windows 95 and
