This program was developed entirely on personal equipment using
personal time and personal resources. My association with the U.S.
Army has no bearing on the design or implementation of this program

Military Academy or the U.S. Army Computer Science School endorses
the use of this program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The user interface for this FTP client is designed with the novice
FTP user in mind. All controls are standard Windows controls.

possible.

Requirements:
WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL
and requires Windows 3.1 or later.
Installation:
YOU MUST HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED WINSOCK.DLL FOR THIS APPLICATION
TO WORK. REFER TO YOUR WINSOCK.DLL DOCUMENTATION FOR SETUP!!
1. Create a directory for this program and copy WS_FTP.EXE,
WS_FTP.INI and WS_FTP.HLP to that directory. If you have an
existing WS_FTP.INI file in your windows directory, copy it into
the executable directory to keep your old configurations.
The search order for WS_FTP.INI and WS_FTP.HLP is:
1) current directory
2) executable directory
3) windows directory
2. Create an ICON in any Program Manager group.
a. Use the File Manager and drag the program into a Program
Manager group.
b. Use the File New menu option in Program Manager to create
the entry for this program.
Known problems:
1) May not work correctly for some FTP servers due to the directory
listing that comes back. In this case the directories and files
dialog boxes will remain empty and the full directory listing will
be visible by clicking the [LONGDIR] button. If you have a host
that doesn't work, e-mail me a listing of that listing and the
output of the remote FTP help command.
2) No support for EBCDIC (does anyone use this??) transfers.
Latest Version:
The latest version of this application should always be the file
/pub/msdos/winsock.files/ws_ftp.zip on ftp.usma.edu (129.29.64.246).
To access it, enter 129.29.64.246 as the host name and check the
"anonymous login" box in the WS_FTP connect dialog box.
Beta versions are only available from ftp.usma.edu in the /pub/msdos
directory as ws_ftp.zip.new
Source code for the 93.12.05 version is in the file ws_ftp_s.zip
in the /pub/msdos/winsock.files directory on ftp.usma.edu.
Bug reports, suggestions, etc...
If you connect to a host that WS_FTP doesn't recognize (i.e. listboxes
remain blank or are displayed incorrectly).
1. Try the different host types that are listed in the options dialog
box. (the change takes affect immediately, you do not need to
change directories, etc..)
2. If you can't find one that displays the directory correctly, then:
a. Double click on the status area and save the message log to a file
b. click on the LongDir button and save the contents to a different
file.
c. mail both files to "junodj@css583.gordon.army.mil"
Send all bug reports, suggestions, etc to "junodj@css583.gordon.army.mil"
or to "72321,366" on compuserve or to "jjunod" on america-on-line.
