FTP4DOS v0.9.5
Feature release over v0.9.4a.
New
- Site manager — save and load multiple named FTP connection profiles (host, port, user, password, start directory) in
FTP4DOS.SIT. Open it from the [Manage...] button in the F2 connect dialog: Ins = new (pre-filled from the current fields), F4 = edit, Del = delete; Enter connects. - Large remote directories (
/EXMEM) — by default a listing holds 512 entries and a popup warns when a directory has more. Start with/EXMEM(auto-detect) or/EXMEM:XMS//EXMEM:EMSto store the remote list in extended (XMS) or expanded (EMS) memory instead, lifting the limit to several thousand entries. A compact conventional sort-key cache keeps sorting fast. - Search / jump-to-name — Alt+F7 or Ctrl+F: type a prefix and jump to the next matching entry, wrapping to the top.
- Long remote file names — names longer than the 8.3/40-char column are kept in full and used for transfers; Alt+F2 "Detail" shows the complete name.
- Full-screen toggle — Alt+F8 makes the active panel span all 80 columns so long remote file names are readable; Tab switches which panel is maximized.
- Per-session conveniences — remembered per-pane sort order, an FTP start directory in the connect dialog (and
/D:DIR), Ctrl+A (Detail) and Ctrl+R (Refresh) shortcuts, and F9 = Refresh.
Fixes
- Entering a remote directory whose name exceeds 39 characters no longer fails with
550; the cursor stays put when a directory change fails. - Connect dialog: Left/Right now move between buttons, and labels/titles are clearer.
