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_FTP also provides for automatic downloads of files. See HLP file
for information on "Auto Transfer of Files".
WS_FTP32 is the 32 bit version of WS_FTP for Windows NT and
Windows 3.x with Win32s. The benefit of running WS_FTP32 vs
WS_FTP is unknown on the Windows 3.x platform (other than it is all
32 bit code). The benefit of running WS_FTP32 on Windows NT
is that it is multi-threaded on these platforms.
REQUIREMENTS:
=============
WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL
and requires Windows 3.1 or later. WS_FTP32 requires Windows NT
or Win32s 1.15 (or later) installed on Windows 3.1
WS_FTP requires a 286 processor, WS_FTP32 requires a 386 processor.
