Imagine browsing FTP sites like you surf the web...
Exploiting Warp's Workplace Shell, Presentation Manager and 32bit
multi-tasking, browsing directories can be as easy as point and click, and
transferring files can be as easy as drag and drop. FTP Browser is a feature
rich TCP/IP FTP client for OS/2 Warp. It is quick, compact and easy to use.
Brief feature list:
OS/2 version 4 specific visual enhancements
Workplace Shell integration (similar to URL objects)
Object backup and restore feature for all FTP Browser objects
Complete "drag-n-drop" support
Configurable remote directory caching
"Quick paths" for frequently accessed directories
"Go back" button to easily travel to parent directories
Communications logging with save to file option
Unlimited number of connections to the same host
Graphical file transfer display
Hooks for command file execution after file transfers
Download information optionally written to file EAs
Seamless and smart reconnects
Host redialing
Proxy server and firewall support
Batch file transfers
File search facility
Remote text file viewer
Fully featured help system
Toolbar with "fly-over help"
Significant changes in this version are as follows:
1. FIXED incompatibility with early versions of Warp. Will now install on all
versions of OS/2 Warp without the need for applying a fixpak.
2. Added a transfer status window with graphical sliders and extended file
information.
3. Consolidated all FTP Browser settings into WPS object notebooks.
4. Added "in-use" emphasis to retrieved files in the remote file list.
5. Added a hook to run batch files after file transfers.
6. Added an automatic disconnect option after file transfers.
7. Added an option to have viewed text files not deleted by default.
8. Added a filter option to remove ".xxx" files from directory listings.
9. Added support for file names and directories with spaces.
10. Installation now automatically retains your previous settings.
