Short: Mounts FTP sites as a filesystem (+src) Author: Alexandre BALABAN Uploader: Alexandre BALABAN Type: comm/tcp Version: 1.5 Replaces: comm/tcp/ftpmount_os4.lha Architecture: ppc-amigaos This is AmigaOS4 native port of FTPMount-handler based on work by Evan Scott, Thies Wellpott, Martin R. Elsner, Rudolph Riedel and Ilkka Lehtoranta. Contrary to previous OS4 release this one does *not* need the installation of 68k version prior to this one. 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. 03-12-2006 Alexandre BALABAN.
