Short: FTP plugin v1.3 update for Aweb Author: panther@gate.net (Josef Faulkner) Uploader: panther gate net (Josef Faulkner) Type: comm/www Version: 1.3 Replaces: comm/tcp/awebftp.lha Requires: WB3.0 Arexx biz/demo/Aweb.lha util/cli/WBCopy.lha comm/tcp/FTPMount-1.0.lha Architecture: m68k-amigaos Description: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ This plugin will allow you to do inline FTPing of files on the net, without the need to call an external FTP program (except FTPMount, which is transparent). It will distinguish between a directory and a file, and act accordingly. Features: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ o Fast reaction, since FTPMount does a lot of cacheing of dirs o Asyncronous download (thanks to Aweb), you can continue browsing while it downloads, and Aweb will inform you when the transfer has completed! o Brings up a requestor to ask what you want to save as New for 1.1: o You can now upload to the directory if you type the name of a file in a form at the bottom of the list (or leave blank, and it will give you a requester asking for a file) o Make directories o Delete a file (only one at a time, currently) New for 1.2: o WBCopy command used to copy files w/ progress meter Thanks to Bastian H. Frank for developing this handy program! New for 1.3: o Much faster: o No longer parses list output, uses lformat to create listing o AmiFTP is now loadable from the inside! o Will detect if amiftp is already loaded, and go to the directory o Doesn't disconnect and reconnect if amiftp already has the host open Requirements: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ FTPMount version 8 (or newer) must be installed and running available on Aminet: FTPMount-1.0.lha comm/tcp 109K Mounts FTP sites WBCopy (aminet/util/cli/WBCopy.lha) must be in your path Not only does this program solve the problem with softlinks, but it also gives a progress meter (a much requested feature)! (optional, but recommended) AmiFTP (from http://www.lysator.liu.se/~lilja/AmiFTP.html) Installation: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ 1) Put this script in the same directory that the Aweb executable is in. 2) Set Aweb to the following settings: ---------------------------------------------- Network 3: External Programs ftp: Command: sys:rexxc/rx Arguments: awebftp.rexx %s %s %s <--- *** NOTE *THREE* %s's *** ---------------------------------------------- 3) Put WBCopy in your path (ie C:) 4) Set your preferences for this script below: Known Bugs: ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ Linked files are sometimes thought to be directories in AmigaDOS, and may wind up returning an empty directory listing instead of the actual file. I've attempted to correct this by checking if the link clicked on has a period in the name, if so, it assumes it's a file instead. Hopefully this bug is obsolete with the new copy program. Let me know if you find any URL's that this still happens on. Many people are getting "out of memory" errors. This should only be occuring on old versions of AwebFTP, and usually only when they forget to pass all three %s arguments in aweb's preferences.
