Subject: Back-Ftp for Maximus BBS
I am working on an application called "Back-Ftp" and wish to know if somebody
could be interested in it, in order to eventually release it as shareware.
Back-Ftp is a program for Maximus/2 v.3 BBS Sysops: it provides your users the
capability to retrieve files via FTP through your bbs system, which will do
the job in background (that is the user tells you what file he/she wants, the
site and directory where to find it, then he can logoff; BackFtp will get the
file for him, put it in a private directory and send a matrix message
announcing the succesfull/unsuccesfull operation).
I am currently at alpha-level coding: a very first version appears to work,
but I have to fix some problems. I don't plan to make this alpha version
public, this first announce is only intended to have some feedback: if anybody
would be interested in the program, please let me know (if anybody isn't
interested, I won't spend my time writing docs and such things :)). Please
e-mail if you need technical details, too.
My E-mail address is at present: albe@pinerolo.gvo.it
