WS_FTP Pro Classic and Explorer
===============================
Description
-----------
  WS_FTP Professional is a Windows-based file transfer client 
  application that transfers files between a user’s local PC and 
  another, remote computer system connected via a modem and telephone
  lines or by a local-area network. With WS_FTP Pro, users can connect
  to any remote system that has a valid Internet address and an FTP 
  server program, browse  through directories and files, and transfer 
  files between the two systems. In addition, users can create, change,
  and remove directories and view, execute, rename, or delete files.

  WS_FTP Pro complies with the Windows sockets (Winsock) standard, 
  allowing you to transfer files between a wide variety of systems, 
  including Windows, OS/2, and UNIX systems.

  WS_FTP Pro is shipped with two user interfaces: the "classic" which 
  looks like a standard Windows application, and the Explorer with a 
  user interface that is fully integrated into the Windows Explorer.


New Features
------------
  - Ability to delete folders with subfolders (Classic and Explorer)
  - Ability to store FTP site configurations in hierarchical folders 
    (Classic and Explorer)
  - Wizard interface for adding new sites (Classic and Explorer)
  - Improved firewall support (Classic and Explorer)
  - Now automatically detects the following host types: AMOS TCP/IP, 
    VxWorks, and GCOS 6 HVS AIX  (Classic and Explorer)
  - Includes Unisys A-Series host type (Classic and Explorer)
  - Expanded Drag and Drop (Classic)
  - Graphical interface for connecting to FTP sites (Classic)


Known Problems (WS_FTP Pro Classic)
-----------------------------------
  - None at this time.

Known Problems (WS_FTP Pro Explorer)
------------------------------------
   -Paste menu option may not be available when using
    Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste on early versions of Windows 95.
    To work around this problem: open a local folder, select a
    file and press CTRL-C, then select a remote file.  This only
    needs to be done once after starting Windows.

   -If IE 4.x is installed with the Active Desktop, 
    opening windows does not honor the "open in new window" 
    Explorer->View option and will always open in the same window.
    Hold the SHIFT key down and open the folder.

   -On permission errors, you see an error screen that has
    a Continue and Cancel button; both buttons do the same thing.
    Explanation: Only happens if there are no more actions,
    otherwise Continue behaves differently than Cancel.

   -Occasionally, a file listing may duplicate or a change
    that you made may not seem to have taken affect.  If this
    occurs, select a file or folder in the display and press F5.

   -If a site is selected in the tree and you disconnect
    from it, double clicking on the site does not re-establish
    a connection.  Solution: Press F5.

   -There is no method within the FTP protocol to set up one port 
    for a proxy/firewall and a different port for the FTP site.  
    Whatever is set for the firewall is what will be used.

   -Opening the LogWnd and doing a Save, at the same time as a 
    download is happening, seems to hang the application.

   -When trying to transfer entire directory structures, WS_FTP 
    aborts when it encounters a link in a UNIX directory. The actual
    site is ftp.cdrom.com, and the link is: 
    /pub/linux/redhat/redhat-5.1/i386/misc/src/trees/initrd/linuxrc.
    It appears that the link is broken. In any case, there is no 
    workaround, and one must fall back to manual methods. 

Updates to the User's Guide (Classic and Explorer)
==================================================
  - None at this time.

WS_FTP Find Utility
===================
Description
-----------
    The WS_FTP Find Utility lets users search an FTP site for files 
    that match the user’s criteria. This is especially useful for 
    anyone who is looking for one file on a large, complex FTP site.

Known Problems
--------------
  - None at this time.


WS_FTP Scripting Utility
========================
Description
-----------
  - The WS_FTP Scripting Utility automates the transfer and 
    management of files through FTP commands such as open, get, 
    and put. For example, you can create a script that instructs 
    WS_FTP Pro to upload certain files, and then use a scheduling 
    program to run the script at the same time each day or week.
  - Script lines that start with ';' are comments and are ignored by
    the command processor.

Known Problems
--------------
  - None at this time.


WS_FTP Synchronize Utility
==========================
Description
-----------
  - The WS_FTP Synchronize Utility is designed to allow you to 
    "mirror" folders and directories between your PC and a remote FTP 
    server. It lets you keep remote sites up-to-date by automatically 
    uploading files which have changed, while deleting files that have 
    been removed from the master directory. This is especially useful 
    for quickly and efficiently updating live web sites from an
    authoring site, or for mirroring FTP servers.

Known Problems
--------------
  - None at this time.


WS_FTP Pro Icon Placement
=========================
Description
-----------
  - The WS_FTP Icon Placement utility is used to place or remove 
    icons for WS_FTP Pro (Classic and Explorer) to or from 
    My Computer and/or Windows Desktop.

Known Problems
--------------
  - None at this time.
