SITE/K,GUI/S,NOSCAN/S,RECON/S
Useful for connecting to sites without adding them to the address book. This
command supports the following options:
HOST Internet address or IP number to connect to.
PORT/N/K Port number of site to connect to.
USER User name for a non-anonymous FTP account.
PASSWORD=PASS The password for logging into a non-anonymous FTP account.
DIR/K The initial directory to display in the lister.
LISTER/N/K The lister handle of an existing Opus lister. This is very
useful for ARexx scripts.
SITE/K To connect to a site in the address book using it's custom
settings etc use this keyword and the site name as shown in
the address book. Example, FTPConnect SITE Aminet
GUI/S Causes the Connect requester to always be displayed even when
sufficient details have been given to connect to a site without
it.
NOSCAN/S Causes the initial directory to not be scanned into the lister.
This can be useful in ARexx scripts which log in to a site and
download files that are known to exist without wasting the time
to scan the directory first.
RECON/S Causes the connection to be re-established if lost for any
reason.
The FTPConnect command now accepts industry standard URL syntax such as:-
user:password@host:port/path (all but host are optional)
* Many anonymous FTP sites have a maximum number of users. If you attempt to
log in to such a site without using a log window you will not see the
message which explains this. In such cases OpusFTP will display the
message "User name failed". This error message can also appear if the
remote site does do not support anonymous logins.
