- FTPMount 1.1 manual addendum
- *****************************
-
- Author: Thies Wellpott
- Date: 21.4.98
-
-
- What is it?
- ===========
-
- This is a (small) update to FTPMount 1.0 from Evan Scott. You need the
- original archive FTPMount-1.0.lha from AmiNet (directory comm/tcp) and must
- install this first.
-
- New or corrected features:
-
- - group and other permissions are converted to the corresponding Amiga
- bits; not many programs display them!
-
- - files and directories starting with a "." are now displayed; the hidden
- bit is set
-
- - directory parsing rewritten
-
- - date parsing rewritten; it does not try to use your local language to
- parse the always english months of ftp directories anymore
-
- - to get a directory FTPMount sends a "LIST -la" instead of only a "LIST";
- some servers need the "-la" to send a long directory listing
-
- - compiled with SAS/C 6.58 for 68020 or better (anyone without one
- living???)
-
- - new tooltype "COMMENT": if given the file comment will contain the user
- name, the group name and - if the directory entry is a link - the name of
- the file or dir the link points to
-
- - new tooltype "TIMEOUT": you can set the time in seconds when FTPMount
- cancels a connection to a server when no user action is made; defaults
- to 120 seconds
-
- - new tooltype "PASSWORDCRYPT": the old tooltype PASSWORD requires a plain
- text password - not the best choice. PASSWORDCRYPT accepts an encrypted
- password. To get the password you need the supplied tool GenFTPpassword.
- It takes as the only argument the plain text password and outputs the
- encrypted form.
- Example:
- Shell> GenFTPpassword geheim
- Crypted password: 25>2J>B/RJ2D^D^G.;RM>>J8J5f5>Y
- Put "PASSWORDCRYPT=25>2J>B/RJ2D^D^G.;RM>>J8J5f5>Y" as tooltype into the
- icon of the ftp site with password "geheim".
- If both tooltypes "PASSWORD" and "PASSWORDCRYPT" are given "PASSWORDCRYPT"
- is used.
-
-
-
- Installation
- ============
-
- You must have FTPMount 1.0 installed.
-
- - copy FTPMount-Handler to FTPMountDir:L
- - copy GenFTPpassword to FTPMountDir: or wherever you want
- - optionally copy FTPMount_new.txt to FTPMountDir: or the place where
- the original FTPMount.guide is located
