Short: Handler to use FTP as real directory - w/src Author: rudolph-riedel@t-online.de (Rudolph Riedel) Uploader: rudolph-riedel t-online de (Rudolph Riedel) Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.4 Replaces: comm/tcp/ftpmount.lha Requires: AmigaOS3.1 + Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: FTP-Handler als Verzeichnis Developed by Evan Scott, Thies Wellpott and Martin R. Elsner I had the oportunity to contribute to it and here it is. It's mostly the same distribution than Martin's but I also included the sources this time. What is it? =========== FTPMount is just a small handler and does (nearly) nothing when it is mounted as device 'FTP:'. But after that you can execute FTP commands very easy by standard system commands and tools! It is perfect for tools like DiskMaster, ClassAction, DirOpus or the like. FTP sites appear as subdirectories of a file system device 'FTP:'. The root directory of FTP: is actually a mirror of a real directory somewhere else in the file system. This allows common FTP sites to be permanently listed under FTP: (so they appear in file requesters etc), and, through the use of icon tooltypes, to support ftp site aliases and other options. FTPMount supports both anonymous and private ftp sessions. Mounted private ftp sessions can act as a poor-person's NFS mount. 2003-03-09 V1.4: - Reworked sources to make it compile easier for me. - Added a few Forbid()/Permit() pairs where necessary. - Added one debug-out line to make sure the tcp-handler is started correctly. - Source files decrypt_password.c / GenFTPpassword.c included now, it doesn't matter if you know how it works, the encryption only makes it necessary to have a real close look at your passwort and enough time to copy it... - Debug version only works with the kprintf() output as introduced by Thies Wellpott now, I really don't apreciate getting presented with recoverable alerts. - 68040 version added - just as I could do it. - Bumped Version to 1.4 to avoid confusion. 27.06.02, V1.31: - Changed Installation: permanent/temporary usage Changes by Alessandro Marinuzzi [alecos@ltsnet.it]: - Italian catalog - Quick Install to use FTPMount only temporary 11.04.01, V1.3: - V 1.0 and V1.2 combined - Guide updated - Improved installation script - German catalog
