2003-7-11 Brian Masney <masneyb@gftp.org> * lib/protocols.c (gftp_calc_kbs) - only call gettimeofday() at the end only if we are throttling this connection * lib/cache.c lib/options.h docs/sample.gftp/gftprc - added cache_ttl option to determine the amount of time that cache entries will stay around * docs/gftp.xml docs/legal.xml docs/figures/* - documentation from Alexander Kirillov <kirillov@math.sunysb.edu> * docs/website - files for generating my main website. They aren't pretty, but hey it works. I'm mainly putting these in CVS just for backup purposes.

<H2>Installation instructions for gFTP</H2>
<UL>
<LI>If you do not want to compile this program yourself, you can check my <A HREF="http://www.gftp.org/">webpage</A>. I have DEBs for Debian and RPMs for RedHat available. If you're looking for Solaris binaries, check out <A HREF="http://www.sunfreeware.com">http://www.sunfreeware.com</A>.
<LI>If you are compiling gFTP yourself, extract the files from the distribution with tar -zxvf gftp-<EM>version</EM>.tar.gz
<LI>Go to the gftp-<EM>version</EM> directory and type
<BR><BR><UL><EM>./configure</EM><BR><EM>make</EM></UL><BR><BR>
The command <EM>configure</EM> will generate a Makefile for your machine, and <EM>make</EM> will compile a binary for your machine. By default, when you run <EM>configure</EM>, it will install gftp in /usr/local/bin/gftp. If you want to change this to say, /usr, add the --prefix=/usr to the <EM>configure</EM> line. It will then install the binary in /usr/bin/gftp, and the public files in /usr/share/gftp
<LI>If the compile suceeds without any errors, you can type <EM>make install</EM> to install the binary in /usr/local/bin. This will also copy some necessary files to /usr/local/share/gftp. If you do not have root on your machine to install these files, copy the contents of the sample.gftp directory to ~/.gftp.
<LI>[OPTIONAL] If you compiled gFTP on a platform other than Linux, could you please send me your OS name/version and I will post on my website (under the <A HREF="faq.html">faq</A>) the machines gFTP has been successfully compiled on.
<LI>You may want to glance at the USERS-GUIDE file that comes with this distribution. It contains a little bit of information about how to use gftp
