README.TXT of LOOKONE.EXE 1.02 by Maurizio Moretti. *** Please, if you have a problem or have a suggestion please send it at moretti@betanet.it. OPERATING SYSTEM: WINNT3.5x, WINNT4.x, WIN95. This program build two files: one for programming purpose is in ASCII and has the record in fixed position. The other one is in .HTM format and you can, from your browser take the files you look for. INSTALLING OPERATION: Dezip the package in a new directory. Run it with argument of the configuration file you want to see. If you run the application without parameter a new editor for .LOO file appears. The install directory for application is the directory where you launch from. In my system I made an association from .LOO and LOOKONE.EXE and works fine, but, if you want, you can launch and run with ....\LOOKONE.EXE C:\FORTECH.LOO where FORTECH.LOO, in directory C:\ is the configuration file for the session. If you launch without the file it search for a LOOKONE.CFG (installed somewhere the Executable can find it). CONFIGURATION FILE: Configuration file is a simple INI file like that: ****************************************************************** * This is a fundamental section of the file (and the only, now!) * ****************************************************************** [General] ****************************************************************** * This is the host you want to connect to and you can set: * * 1) Host Name (like a ftp.microsoft.com) * * 2) Host Address (like a 195.32.120.73) * * default: ftp.simtel.net * ****************************************************************** Host=ftp.playboy.com ****************************************************************** * This is your user name and you can set: * * 1) anonymous (for anonymous connection) * * 2) user name * * default: anonymous * ****************************************************************** User=anonymous ****************************************************************** * This is your password and you can set: * * 1) your e-mail (o some other e-mail) * * 2) user password * * default: moretti@betanet.it * ****************************************************************** Password=moretti@betanet.it ****************************************************************** * Trace the program execution (bit-extension) * * Ex: 255 * * Default: 0. If you don't want to trace the execution on a file * * put 0 or delete the line * ****************************************************************** Trace=0 ****************************************************************** * Debugfile * * Ex: FORTECH.DBG * * Default: LOOKONE.DBG. It's inserted in install directory * ****************************************************************** Debug= ****************************************************************** * MyRootIs: starting directory to look for * * Ex: /bin * * Default: / * ****************************************************************** MyRootIs=/ ****************************************************************** * FindWord give in HTM only the pathname that included the * * word you write. * * Ex: PATCH * * Default: "". * ****************************************************************** FindWord= ****************************************************************** * LevelDeep: is the maximum level of directory from root you * * want to look for. * * Ex: 3 and MyRootIs=/ the file (or dir) /1/2/3/4 is not * * found. * * Default: 0. All level is scanned * ****************************************************************** LevelDeep=0 ****************************************************************** * IWantName: when the program build the path for getting an ftp * * file from the browser the path is build with numeric address. * * If you want instead the name address in your HTM file you have * * to set IWantName to 1. Ex: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/readme.txt * * if you set to 1 or ftp://122.34.233.2/readme.txt if you set to * * 0. * * Ex: 1 * * Default: 0. Your browser hasn't to resolve the name * ****************************************************************** IWantName=0 ****************************************************************** * FullRFC959: if the server FTP is RFC959 compatible you can * * retrieve the directory more quicly. * * Ex: 1 * * Default: 0. Improve the performance setting to 1 * * NB: Not all the server FTP is compliant RFC959. * ****************************************************************** FullRFC959=1 ****************************************************************** * LaunchBrowser: if you want, at the end of writing, you can * * automatically start your browser to see the result and get the * * file from FTP server. * * Ex: 1 * * Default: 0 * ****************************************************************** LaunchBrowser=0 ****************************************************************** * DirInHtm: if you want, you can insert in HTM file the * * directory. By default only files enter in HTM file. * * Ex: 1 * * Default: 0 * ****************************************************************** DirInHtm=0 OUTPUT FILES: The program create (the first once) the FTPLS directory under install directory and write one file per connection. Ex: ftp.microsoft.com. Next once the connection is made, the old file is deleted and another is created. Another file is in htm format and has the name: HostName.htm Ex: ftp.microsoft.com.htm.
