 DESCRIPTION:
 ============
 
   This application is a standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client 
   application for Windows Sockets.  The user interface for this FTP 
   client is designed with the novice FTP user in mind.  Usage should 
   be obvious.  For more information on FTP please refer to the many
   different NETNEWS groups or one of the recent books on the Internet.

   WS_FTP also provides for automatic downloads of files.  See HLP file
   for information on "Auto Transfer of Files".

   WS_FTP32 is the 32 bit version of WS_FTP for Windows NT and  
   Windows 3.x with Win32s.
   
     The benefit of running WS_FTP32 vs WS_FTP is unknown on the 
     Windows 3.x platform (other than it is 32 bit code).  The 
     benefit of running WS_FTP32 on Windows NT or Windows 95 is
     that it is multi-threaded on these platforms.
     
     If you have problems with WS_FTP32 under Win32s, please try
     using the 16 bit version of WS_FTP.


 REQUIREMENTS:
 =============

   WS_FTP requires you to have a properly installed WINSOCK.DLL 
   and requires Windows 3.1 or later.
   
     If you don't have a WINSOCK.DLL, I'd suggest getting the 
     free one from Microsoft or the shareware Trumpet Winsock 
     from ftp.trumpet.com.au or buying a vendor supported one 
     from Ipswitch, Inc. or from FTP Software, Inc.
   
   WS_FTP32 requires Windows NT, Windows 95 or Win32s 1.15 (or later)

     Windows NT and Windows 95 come with a WINSOCK.DLL. If you
     use a different vendors stack on these platforms you will
     need to replace the WSOCK32.DLL that comes with the OS.

   WS_FTP requires a 286 processor.
   
   WS_FTP32 requires a 386 processor.
 

 INSTALLATION:
 =============

   YOU MUST HAVE A PROPERLY INSTALLED WINSOCK.DLL FOR THIS APPLICATION
   TO WORK.  REFER TO YOUR WINSOCK.DLL DOCUMENTATION FOR SETUP!!
 
   1. Create a directory for this program and copy WS_FTP.EXE, 
      WS_FTP.INI, WS_FTP.EXT and WS_FTP.HLP to that directory.

   2. Create an ICON in any Program Manager group.
      a. Use the File Manager and drag the program into a Program
         Manager group.
      b. Use [F]ile [N]ew in the Program Manager.


 UPDATING FROM PREVIOUS VERSIONS:

   If you have problems with this version, edit your old INI file
   and delete the [_config_] section and restart WS_FTP.

 SUPPORT
 =======

  ALL beginner support is provided through Compuserve in the WINCON
  area.  Please do NOT send "how do I use ws_ftp" questions to the
  author.  I will NOT respond.

  ALL bug reports and suggestions for improvement should be sent to
  <junodj@martinez.ipswitch.com> or <junodj@csra.net>

  ALL distribution, commercial purchase requests need to be sent to
  <info@ipswitch.com>



 BUG REPORTS, SUGGESTIONS, ETC...
 ================================

   If you connect to a host that WS_FTP doesn't recognize (i.e. listboxes
   remain blank or are displayed incorrectly).

   1. Try the different host types that are listed in the options dialog
      box.  (the change takes affect immediately, you do not need to 
      change directories, etc..)

   2. If you can't find one that displays the directory correctly, then:

      a.  click on the LogWnd button and save the message log to a file
      b.  click on the remote side DirInfo button and save the contents
          to a different file.
      c.  mail both files to "junodj@martinez.ipswitch.com"

   Send all bug reports, suggestions, etc to "junodj@martinez.ipswitch.com"
   or to "junodj@csra.net"
  
   If you like this program, let other people know about it!
   Post your comments in comp.protocol.tcp-ip.ibmpc, alt.winsock and
   in the windows groups on usenet and places like compuserve.  Let
   people know about it!


 KNOWN PROBLEMS
 ==============
 
   Many internet providers require you to use PASV mode in order
     for WS_FTP to work properly.  If you always get "Dirlist
     returned 0", try changing this setting under Advanced in the
     Connect dialog or in Session Options.  This is NOT a true
     problem in WS_FTP but is a requirement of your network
     provider.
     
   Some versions of the Trumpet Winsock DLL require you to use
     PASV mode.  See the above note.

   You MAY need to use PASV mode when using TIA. See the above note.
        
   WS_FTP does not work properly under some versions of the SPRY
     stack.  You need to contact SPRY to get an upgraded stack
     that is Winsock compliant.

   WS_FTP32 does not work properly when using the 16 bit version
     of Chameleon or Trumpet Winsock on Windows NT or Windows 95.
     You need to replace the WSOCK32.DLL provided by Microsoft
     with one from the network stack vendor.
