ProFTP Version 2.9 - FTP client

Date: July 4, 2008

Labtam is pleased to present a new software version for ProFTP now - Version 2.9. It is our second major release for the 2008 year.

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. The program can transfer files in two different format types: ASCII format which is used for text files, and Binary format which is used for image files.

FTP must run on a machine that is configured for TCP/IP network communication or Internet access. Access can be gained through Winsock and the use of any dial-up provider, a Remote Access Server (RAS), or a direct connection via a local area network that supports TCP/IP. In order for FTP to communicate with a remote computer, that computer must have a server implementation of FTP (FTP server based on TCP/IP transports).

You can be connected to only one remote computer at a time during a FTP session. However, you can run multiple FTP sessions (FTP clients) simultaneously in separate windows, with each session connected to a different host.

NOTES on this release (PLEASE READ):

1. The Beta3 MS Windows XP/2003/Vista x64 NFS-Client can be installed by running the self-extracting archive file, "nfsclx64.exe". This file and "nfsclx64.txt" can be found in the directory with the uncompressed package distributive.

3. The Windows NT LPR printer driver is manually installed by running the self-extracting archive file, "lprd.exe". This file can be found in the directory with the uncompressed package distributive.

4. Use the "setup -wauto -s" command line (instead of "setup -auto") to start the "Silent Installation".

New Features on this release include:

1. Ftp:
- the "HideDrives" optional setting implemented to provide the disk drives' visibility. This allows you to reflect the Windows User Configuration -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer Policy Settings. You can also provide your own drives' visibility;
- in the SFTP mode the ASCII/BINARY transfer mode switching was implemented (same as FTP mode). Important note. Since the added feature is non-standard for SFTP,please make sure you are aware that the initial state of transfer mode is "BINARY".
- the "NFS-Browser" mode was implemented to allow access to any remote NFS-Server's export without any NFS-Client installed on a local PC. It is the demo of the "NFS-Client SDK" usage. The "trNFSbr.cpr" file may be pointed in the "CPR file" input field to enable the full tracing.

2. Telnet:
- some terminals ("vt100","vt52"..) were not colored originally. The deviation from the strong emulation was implemented to allow to use colors for such as terminal types.

The following bugs have been fixed:

1. Telnet:
- the "Colors" attribute of the "VT240" terminal type (in the "terminfo.ini" file) incorrectly has the "3" value. It was changed to the correct "Colors=16";
- the initialization of the terminal window is more correct now;
- some bugs during the loading, viewing and edition of profiles were fixed;
- the "Log All session output" provides now the same with the "Log Prontable output only" Logging mode (wrongly did nothing, what is unexpected).
