Welcome to S-FTP version 1.05 (or simple FTP)!
.
The author of this software is Keith Cotroneo. I call S-FTP is Week-End-Ware
....because I really only have time to work on it during the week ends.
.
I am a Dean at a college in Oregon. Computers are a hobby of mine and lately
I have spent some time on the Internet. The FTP utilities that I have tried
have not suited my needs very well so I wrote this program for my own use.
.
What I wanted was something that would allow me to:

        *logon the popular ftp sites without hassle
        *read .txt information about files in the directories
        *perform batch downloads
.
S-FTP does those three things for me.
.

Changes in S-FTP since version 1.00:
        1) Text files in the Directory List are now loaded to the viewer by
        single clicking on the file to highlight it and then clicking the view
        push button.
        2) The Download List may now be populated from a viewed text file. This
        works for files such as the Hobbes 00index.txt files. For this function
        to work, the filename must be in the first position in the line of the
        text file.
        3) While files are downloading, you can now continue to populate the
        download list box. You can download files while you are viewing the
        directory list or 00index.txt files in the viewer and continue to
        transfer file names to the Download List. Files will be downloaded in
        the order of transfer to the download list.
        4) Lengthy processes, such as logon and downloading are now placed
        in separate threads. This makes the application much more responsive
        and doesn't lock the application while processes are completed.
        5) Added download path setting and config menu option.
        6) Added Delete Host and Add Host buttons to allow configuring the
        host list.
        7) Added several progress indicators to tell the user what is happening.
        8) S-FTP will now download files from outside the current remote
        directory. You can build the download list from various directories
        or 00index.txt files. The download list will remember paths to those
        files and retrieve them when you download.
        9) Added capability to configure host user name, password, default
        directory.
        10) Improved the logon process. It is more streamlined and provides
        better progress reporting.
v1.05
        11) Added upload capability.
