EmTec Innovative Software
announces the release of EmTec FTP 5.02, a 32bit, Presentation Manager FTP Client for OS/2 Warp. The fully
functional demo is available at ftp://ftp.bmtmicro.com/bmtmicro/eftp502.zip,
the EmTec site at http://www.emtec.com and
the OS/2 Supersite at http://www.os2ss.com.
What is the EmTec Network Suite (ENS)
and EmTec FTP (EFTP)?
EmTec Network Suite is a set of tools for improving access
to the Internet from your OS/2 desktop. It offers a full featured
newsreader, FTP and Gopher clients. This suite of programs was
previously known as the Neologic Network Suite.
During 1998, the various componets of the EmTec Network Suite will be made available
in separate packages so that the entire suite need not be downloaded in order to
use a particular program.
Prior versions of the Network Suite sold under the NeoLogic name contained an FTP
server licensed from Hethmon Brothers software.
For information on support and upgrades for the FTP server component which is no
longer included in the suite contact Paul
Hethmon at phethmon@hethmon.com or www.hethmon.com.
Installation
1. Unzip the distribution file EFTP.ZIP to a temporary directory
2. Switch to the directory in which you unzipped EFTP.ZIP
and run INSTALL.EXE.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you select 'Install...' the installation program will copy the
EmTec FTP files to the specified directory and create an EmTec
Network Suite folder on your desktop.
If you select the 'Upgrade...' option the installation program
will try to install new EmTec FTP files in the directory where your
EmTec Network Suite has been installed and will create an EmTec
FTP V5.0 object in the EmTec Network Suite folder.
Note: The Installation program will not delete your old version of EmTec FTP because
the new version requires a different directory structure.
After you verified that the new version is working to your
satisfaction, you may safely delete the .\ftp\ftp.exe file from your Network Suite
directory. Of course, you may also have dual installations if you wish to maintain
a previous version.
4. Once the installation is complete you may run the EmTec FTP
client from the EmTec Network Suite folder. Restarting your
computer is not necessary.
Improvements and Bug Fixes for this
Release
This new version offers the following key features (see the
file VERSIONS.DOC for a more detailed list of improvements).
* Downloading/Uploading files or whole directories using simple drag and drop actions.
* Passive FTP mode which allows the client to work behind firewalls and systems
which use IP masquerading.
* Reconnect feature which is useful when your connection is slow.
* The user friendly interface has been further enhanced based on user suggestions.
