Has anyone cobbled together a graphic interface for ftp under DOS? Not necessarily Windows, just something other than line mode-- Thanks, Don.

Toot, toot the HP horn! See product G1440A, G1481A, et al known collectively as ChemLan from HP Analytical Products Group. Intended to connect HP's Chemstations workstations, includes now (or very soon) DOS Windows3 dialog shell for ftp. Allows recursive tranfers with passwords and progress monitoring. All this from me, a manufacturing guy who has looked briefly at this product for an internal project. Good luck.

Our commercial TCP/IP product for DOS, namely The LAN WorkPlace for DOS, contains a set of utilities specifically designed for the Windows 3.0 environment. One of them is an FTP client that allows you to shunt files around systems just be pointing and clicking. All of the usual FTP transfer options are available via pull down menus, buttons, dialogue boxes, etc... It supports things we call host profiles (I dare say you can guess what they are), automatic connects and logins, third party transfers, recursive directory transfers and a few other nice bits and pieces. Recently, I've taken to using it all the time (I was a hardened ftp> prompt user for a long time). I think we have our nose a little out in front on this one, with regard to the other DOS TCPs in existance. I do however hear the patter of little feet rounding the bend behind us :-) Keith - Keith Brown Phone: (408) 473 8308 Novell San Jose Development Centre Fax: (408) 433 0775 2180 Fortune Dr, San Jose, California 95131 Net: keith@novell.COM
