ProFTP 1.4- FTP client software by Labtam

Date: 19 April 2001

ProFTP is a file transfer program which allows you to transfer files between your PC and a remote computer using the ARPANET standard File Transfer Protocol.

Major differences from Version 1.3 to Version 1.4

1. The following enhancements have been made :

1.1. Lpd :

- MS Windows 2000 Lpr may send first an extremely large data length that practically may never be reached. Then it sends the actual data and finally just closes the connection. New LPD processes correctly such a case.

1.2. Ftp :

- works correctly with the bison FTP daemon;
- works correctly with the MS Windows 2000 FTP(Unix-mode) daemon.

1.3. Xwppeg :

- this utility was implemented to provide the maintenance of multi-users licenses.

1.4. The run-time "User's Manual" was renovated.

2. Bugs that have been fixed on Version 1.4 :

2.1. Ftp :

- the bug of directory listing for AIX 4.3.3 was fixed;
- Ftp could not parse a directory if a file name had an apostrophe (or some other special characters).

2.2. Install :

- the "Variable is not large enough for string variable" message took place during installation procedure.
