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.
WS_FTP95.exe (FTP95PRO.exe) is designed to operate in 32 bit multi-
threaded environment as provided by Windows 95 and
Windows NT. Usage under Win32s is not blocked but some
features like remote edit may not work properly.
