Version 0.5 of NFTP is available
NFTP is a fullscreen ftp client for OS/2. It is aimed primarily at users who
prefer to work in fullscreen OS/2 sessions.
Key features of version 0.5:
- fully scrollable view of remote directory;
- remembering contents of browsed directories during ftp session: you will
never re-read remote dirs;
- one-keystroke viewing remote files (via downloading and launching a text
viewer of your choice or using fast internal viewer);
- marking files for download: you don't need to type filenames at all;
- bookmarking: you may store your favourite places in a small database and
go to them in a few keystrokes;
- transfer progress indicator;
- automatic anonymous logins: you don't have to type the word 'anonymous' and
your e-mail address;
- comprehensive logging of transfers;
- sorting remote directories by name, size, date/time;
- brief built-in help.
Main restrictions:
- can only operate with UNIX servers;
- you cannot upload files.
Requirements:
- OS/2 2.x, 3.x with TCP/IP protocol stack
(TCP/IP 2.0, 3.0, IAK, Warp CONNECT);
- emx runtime package;
- HPFS-formatted disk to be able to download files which are not
8.3-compliant.
