[OT:] FTP clients

Mar 01, 2005 35 Replies

I've been using CUTEFTP for years, version 2.8, and it's always seemed robust. I don't appear to have my original setup file (I usually keep them), but the entire folder C:\Program Files\CuteFTP containing 21 files is only 1.3MB, and I've just ZIPed it to 621KB. I expect it would run straight from the executable; this version, 2.8, probably came out only shortly after the invention of electricity and indoor plumbing, much less registries! You're welcome to try it if you don't settle on anything else. Alternatively later versions are at the developer's site:

Those are macros and they just change the byte ordering for networking.

Just because unices use text files to configure everything doesn't mean they *have* to - as if their machine would wake up one day and decide to treat ints as 2 bytes. I suppose unix coders store images and audio as text, too. You still have to know how to read the format.

What's your point, anyway? It's irrelevant to anything I've said. And BTW, those classes, when I say "stores them as complex numbers with accessor functions," that clearly indicates that I'm speaking about something internal to the class and doesn't even begin to suggest whether I store them as text either in memory or on disk. In fact, the original program read the s-params in from a text file.

Since I can't expect my ADC to give me ints in text... I don't know why I'd want to slow things down storing a signal as text on a disk.

Does the program in the first link compile on your Sun OS?

I have putty, but that would only maybe benefit me for FTP if I can do SFTP with it. Earthlink & SFTP? Nah.

Look at Total Commander:

It's a split-window file manager, but also contains a comfortable FTP client. Powerful tool, anyway. :-)

Have a look at putty, to be found by google.

Very interesting. Am I corrrect that it is a free service?

Format of numbers may change between compiler and architecture. There is a reason for htonl() etc..

I´m using FTP Explorer (free) ..

Hey thanks for trying. I forgot about the makefile - I could've put it all in one file and done the dos to unix conversion. I see it's choking on EOL conventions and that surely doesn't help. Many times a single parse error (missing ";" or something) will generate other errors.

It's fixed, though! AFAICT, I had my head up my ass when I tried to let the file control the vector load with

while(!Feof(m_channel)) ...

There's a couple better ways. Some guy in c++ group told me that iterators aren't guaranteed to be pointers and that that is dangerous. Nothing I've read on that.

Now I can examine the hopelessly wrong looking FFT output. I hope it's just because the ends of the sine wave are discontinuous.

Proberbly easy to fix. But I haven't digged into it. Althought a Makefile would be really benefitial.

Well, It doesn't say it will stop working, but it *is* shareware. I did for some reason miss that fact the first time. ASS-UMEing, I guess.

I've got one good freebee working and I want to check a couple others.

Does FTPX nag after 30 days?

I like the ready to go FTP sites. WS_FTP used to have some interesting FTP sites that came with the install.

Did I forget to mention Servant Salamander? It's isn't *real* special, but it's a 2 pane file manager with a command window which I think executes the shell command in the active directory. Could be handy.

I've used LeechFTP for quite some time now. It's freeware but loaded with some very nice features. Multithreaded, multiple connections to same or different servers, remote delete/rename, UNIX style directory listing, bookmarks etc. Some parts of it do take a bit getting used to.

Get it from

or try the nonags site.

JT = old fart using old software! :o That's the problem with new software, enhanced brokeness. The old standby is command line ftp. Unix and Windoze ftp work as designed from the command line.

No the version I have, 1.0 does not nag. And yes it has a bunch of ready to go ftp sites very much like cuteftp.

Cheers
