Welcome to S-FTP (or simple FTP)!
.
The author of this software is Keith Cotroneo. I call S-FTP is Week-End-Ware
....because I really only have time to work on it during the week ends.
.
I am a Dean at a college in Oregon. Computers are a hobby of mine and lately
I have spent some time on the Internet. The FTP utilities that I have tried
have not suited my needs very well so I wrote this program for my own use.
.
What I wanted was something that would allow me to:

        *logon the popular ftp sites without hassle
        *read .txt information about files in the directories
        *perform batch downloads
.
S-FTP does those three things for me.
.
If it works for you, you are welcome to use it with the following provisions:
.
        1) There is absolutely no warranty with this software. You use it
        completely at your own risk. This means that you agree that if you
        use the software and it somehow screws up your system or you lose files,
        that is your problem, not mine.
        2) You understand that this software was developed using the RFTP
        package and agree to the additional license arrangements listed in the
        license.txt file.
        3) You MUST register after 15 days of use of this product. To do so,
        send me email of snail mail telling me your name, address, email
        address, and then please provide comments on how I should improve the
        product. I can be reached below:

        4) If you distribute the package to others, you must give them the whole
        Zip file.

To use S-FTP:
        1) Unzip the S-FTP.ZIP file to the directory in which you want the
        product to reside.
        2) Copy the file rxftp.dll to a directory in your DLL path.
        3) Edit the hosts.txt file to include any hosts that you visit.
        4) Create an object on the desktop if you want one.
        5) Start your tcp client or internet connection.
        6) Run S-Ftp by typing sftp at the command prompt or by clicking the object.
        7) Double click on the host name you wish to visit.
        8) Click the logon button and wait for the connection. When connected,
        the root directory listing will load into the directory list box.
.
To change a directory:
        1) Double click on the directory in the directory listbox to which you
        want to change (english, can you believe it?), or enter the directory
        in the Directory textbox and click on the Dir Button.
.
To download files:
        1) Double click on the file(s) in the directory listbox that you
        want to download.
        2) Each file will be transfered to the download listbox.
        3) When you are done choosing files from the directory, click on the
        download button to begin receiving the files. They will be placed in
        the same directory in which sftp resides.
        4) When the list is cleared, all your files have been transfered.
.
To delete files from the download list:
        1) Check the Double Click to Delete checkbox.
        2) Double click on the files in the Download Listbox that you want to
        remove.
                        or
        3) Click on the Clear List button.
.
To view text files on a remote site:
        1) Check the Double Click to Viewer checkbox.
        2) Double click on the file in the Download List or the Directory List
        that you want to view.
        *Note that for the download list, the Delete checkbox over-rides the
         Viewer checkbox. The Delete checkbox only operates on the Download
         list. It does not effect the Directory List.
.
Well, that is pretty much it. I am sure their are quirks. One that I am aware
of is that if you try to exit the application during a file operation or while
attempting to logon to a site, you must use the OS/2 tasklist (right click, close)
to do so. I will work in that one.
.
Let me know how things go.
