2003-11-2 Brian Masney <[e-mail]> * lib/rfc2068.c (rfc2068_chunked_read) - more improvements to this function so that it will parse more chunked file transfers correctly. * lib/misc.c lib/gftp.h lib/rfc2068.c src/gtk/bookmarks.c src/gtk/dnd.c - removed remove_double_slashes(). Call gftp_build_path() to build the paths. This now allows Novell directory listings with //server * lib/protocols.c src/gtk/transfer.c lib/gftp.h - added variable conn_error_no_timeout to gftp_transfer structure. If this is enabled, if the remote connection to the server timed out, don't wait and immediately reconnect. So far, the only time this is used is when the user was editing a file and it is to be uploaded back to the server. * src/gtk/gftp-gtk.h src/gtk/transfer.c - add_file_transfer() now returns the struct gftp_transfer that was just added. * src/gtk/misc-gtk.c (update_directory_download_progress) - don't make the window a popup and remove the window decorations * src/text/gftp-text.c - don't populate the transfer_direction variable in struct gftp_transfer. This is only needed by the GTK+ port and will hopefully be taken out soon. * lib/gftp.h - remove gftp_transfer_type enum. It wasn't used anymore.

.SH NAME
gftp - a graphical ftp client
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gftp [options] [[proto://][
.I user
.B :
.I [pass]
.B @]
.I site
.B [:
.I port
.B ][/
.I directory
.B ]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
gFTP is a multiprotocol file transfer program for X Windows and the console. It features support for the FTP, SSH, HTTP, and local file system protocols, simultaneous downloads, resuming of interrupted file transfers, file transfer queues, downloading of entire directores, ftp and http proxy support, remote directory caching, bookmarks menu, stop button and many more features
.SH OPTIONS
You may enter a url on the command line that gFTP will automatically connect
to when it starts up.
.IP "\-\-help, \-h"
Display program usage, and quit
.IP "\-\-version, \-v"
This will display the current version of gFTP, and exit
.IP "\-\-download, \-d"
This tells gFTP to download the files and directories specified in the url passed on the command line. 
.IP user
This is the username that you will login as to the remote site. If no username
is supplied, the default is to login as anonymous.
.IP pass
This is the password you will use to login to the remotesite. If you do not
enter a password, then gFTP will ask you for one when it starts up. I do not
recommend entering your password on the command prompt. Anyone that has
access to your machine will be able to see your username and password with
the
.BR ps(1)
command. If you are logging in as anonymous, you do not need to pass a password since gFTP will automatically send your email address as your password.
.IP site
This is the remote site you want to connect to
.IP port
This is the port that the remote server is listening on. If you do not
enter a port, it will default to using the ftp port listed in the
.BR services(5)
file. If the entry doesn't exist there, it will default to port
21.
.IP directory
This is the default directory to change to once you are connected to the
remote server.
.SH FILES
.I ~/.gftp/gftprc
.RS
Per user configuration file. This file is commented very well, so that is
why there isn't a manpage for it. Most of the options in here can be set
inside gFTP itself.
.SH BUGS
If you find any bugs in gFTP, please report them directly to the author.
