FTPMount 1.1  manual addendum
*****************************

Author: Thies Wellpott
  Date: 21.4.98


What is it?
===========

This is a (small) update to FTPMount 1.0 from Evan Scott. You need the
original archive FTPMount-1.0.lha from AmiNet (directory comm/tcp) and must
install this first.

New or corrected features:

- group and other permissions are converted to the corresponding Amiga
  bits; not many programs display them!

- files and directories starting with a "." are now displayed; the hidden
  bit is set

- directory parsing rewritten

- date parsing rewritten; it does not try to use your local language to
  parse the always english months of ftp directories anymore

- to get a directory FTPMount sends a "LIST -la" instead of only a "LIST";
  some servers need the "-la" to send a long directory listing

- compiled with SAS/C 6.58 for 68020 or better (anyone without one
  living???)

- new tooltype "COMMENT": if given the file comment will contain the user
  name, the group name and - if the directory entry is a link - the name of
  the file or dir the link points to

- new tooltype "TIMEOUT": you can set the time in seconds when FTPMount
  cancels a connection to a server when no user action is made; defaults
  to 120 seconds

- new tooltype "PASSWORDCRYPT": the old tooltype PASSWORD requires a plain
  text password - not the best choice. PASSWORDCRYPT accepts an encrypted
  password. To get the password you need the supplied tool GenFTPpassword.
  It takes as the only argument the plain text password and outputs the
  encrypted form.
  Example:
    Shell> GenFTPpassword geheim
    Crypted password: 25>2J>B/RJ2D^D^G.;RM>>J8J5f5>Y
  Put "PASSWORDCRYPT=25>2J>B/RJ2D^D^G.;RM>>J8J5f5>Y" as tooltype into the
  icon of the ftp site with password "geheim".
  If both tooltypes "PASSWORD" and "PASSWORDCRYPT" are given "PASSWORDCRYPT"
  is used.



Installation
============

You must have FTPMount 1.0 installed.

- copy FTPMount-Handler to FTPMountDir:L

  the original FTPMount.guide is located
