Section 2 - Getting Started - Installing 32bit FTP Go to https://www.electrasoft.com/32ftp.htm and download the newest version. During installation, it will ask you for your registration name and email address. Enter the name and email address you want 32bit FTP to be registered to. This is the name and email address that you will be known to us at ElectraSoft as. You can change any of these items later if you wish. It will also ask you for a Password. Don't worry if you do not have it yet, you can get it later. Installation Notes: Permissions Problems If you experience permissions problems it is most likely that you have a [Standard User] account. Changing your account to an [Administrator] account will fix this problem. You can not change your [Standard User] account to an [Administrator] account while logged into your own account because, (you guessed it), you do not have permission. To change your [Standard User] account to an [Administrator] account: Log off your account, log on to an [administrator account], change your account to an [Administrator] account, and reboot the computer. If you are running Windows Vista: o Click the [Start] button o Locate and select [Switch User] o Log on to an [administrator account] o Click the [Start] button o Select [Settings] o Select [ Control Panel] o Select [User Accounts] o Select [Manage another account] o Find and select [your user account] o Select [Change the account type] o Change your account to [Administrator] o Select [Change Account Type] o Reboot the computer The Main Window Section 3 - Main 32bit FTP Menu Items - [File], [Exit] This will exit the program. - [Command], [Connect] Loads the [Connect to Remote Site] Dialog Box. - [Command], Connection] Closes the Connection to the Internet.

In Binary mode the files are copied without being altered. - [ASCII] (Radio Button) Copy files using ASCII mode. - [Fast ASCII transfer] (Check Box) Some FTP sites transfer ASCII files slower than they do binary files. If you use this option on these FTP sites, 32bit FTP will receive the ASCII file in binary mode and convert it to ASCII. This will allow you to receive ASCII files, from these FTP sites, up to 20 times faster. Also, if you upload an ASCII file (such as a txt or an html file) in binary to an FTP site and then download it in ASCII, the file will be damaged. When downloading this damaged file, if this option is checked, 32bit FTP will detect this and repair the file. - [Auto ASCII] (Check Box) Copy any file in ASCII transfer mode if its file extension is in this pre-determined list of file extensions.

Any file with a file extension, found in this list, will be copied in the Binary transfer mode regardless of what the default [File Transfer Mode] is set to. This means that the default [File Transfer Mode] will be overridden for these files. To edit the file extensions list, click on the menu bar option: [Options], [Configure] and go to the [File Transfer Mode] section and click on the [Select Auto Binary Mode File Extentions] button. Section 6 - This Computer: - Push Buttons, and Edit Boxes - [This Computer: directories, drives, files] (Combo-Edit Box) When you start 32bit FTP, the directory you started it from will be listed. There is a small [+] and [-] button that you can use to add and delete paths from the Combo-Edit Box.

The log file is not deleted until you exit and restart 32bit FTP, if you select the delete log on exit option. - Completeness of Current Element of Job (Progress Bar) Shows the Progress of a single event. - Completeness of Job (Progress Bar) Shows the overall Progress of a Job. If the job consists of only a single event, both Progress Bars work in tandem. Section 9 - [Connect to Remote Site] Dialog Box Push Buttons Remote Site (Edit Boxes and Combo Boxes) (Group) - [Nickname] List of Remote Site names. The name you want to remember the site as. Each time you select another Remote Site from this Dropdown Box, its profile is loaded and it becomes the current Remote Site. Here is a tip. If you type in the first letter of the site you want to go to and press the down-arrow key, you may save time. For example, press m and then the down-arrow. You are now at the start of the Ms. - [Address] The current Remote Site's FTP address. This is the actual remote site name or IP address. You can enter in the IP address or the domain name that will resolve to the IP address. IE: ftp.mydomain.com or 0.0.0.0. - [Type] Type of operating system used by the remote site. - [Username] Your Username for the current Remote Site. If you need a Username with this Remote Site, use this name. If you do not have an account, and the site is open to the public (as many are), your [Username] will Usually be [anonymous]. 32bit FTP will do this for you if the [Anonymous Logon Check Box] is checked. - [Password] Your Password for the Username on current Remote Site. If you need a Username with this Remote Site, this Password will be used with it. If you do not have an account, and the site is open to the public (as many are), 32bit FTP will use your email address as your Password. 32bit FTP will do this for you if the [Anonymous Logon Check Box] is checked. - [Account] If the Remote Site requires an account enter it here. If not leave this field blank. - [Timeout] The time, in seconds, before you want to give up or automatically abort an event if the Remote Site does not respond quickly enough. This is usually 65 to 120 seconds. If the Remote Site does not respond in this time, you must assume that it may be busy or it may be down. - [Retries] If the logon to a Remote Site fails, this is the number of times to automatically retry the logon. The default is 1 because some sites, if busy, do not want to be repetitively [hit], and may filter you out in the future if you hit them too many times in rapid succession. - [Cmd Port] The default Socket Command Port. Usually 21 for FTP. [Keep Alive] Keeps the Remote Site from disconnecting you. If the Remote Site is setup to disconnect you after you are idle for 5 minutes (300 seconds), check the [Keep Alive] check box and set the [Interim Minutes] combo box to 2 minutes. Read [Close on Idle]. - [Close on Idle] If you check this check box and you for are idle for the time that you selected in the [Minutes Until Close] combo box, the connection will close at that time. This is the length of time that you can be on a site without doing anything (idle) until 32bit FTP close the connection. Most sites will disconnect you if you are idle for 300 seconds (5 minutes). Then when you go to do something the connection will fail. By setting [Keep Alive] to a shorter time than the remote site disconnect time and setting [Close on Idle] to a higher time, you should be able to keep the connection open as long as you want. When you log into a Remote Site, you must continue to do things such as copying file to and/or from, changing directories, etc. If you are idle too long, the remote site will reset, disconnect, or close your connection. We could send an occasional STAYALIVE or NOOP to the remote site to hold the connection. This practice is dangerous, because some sites will detect this and ban you from their site indefinitely. If you are the owner of a site or if the owner of a site gives you permission, you can set the site to never reset you. If the site disconnect time is set to infinite, and if you have reason to be permanently connected, then you can uncheck [Keep Alive] and [Close on Idle] and 32bit FTP will never close the connection unless you tell it to. LOGON Options (Group) - [Anonymous Logon] Check this if you do not have an account at current Remote Site. - [Passive Mode] Check this box to logon the server is passive mode, AKA [PASV]. - [Save Password] Check this if you want to save your Password for this account, so you do not have to type it in each time you log onto this Remote Site. List Style The command to get this remote site to return the list of sub directories and files in the current directory. Some FTP sites may have a compatibility problem and not display the directories and files properly, or not at all. If this happens, try changing these options around. - [NLST -f] - [NLST -t] - [NLST x] - [LIST -f] - [Remote Site's Directory at Logon] When you log onto a Remote Site, 32bit FTP will change directory to this directory on the Remote Site. Each Remote Site can have its own Remote Site logon directory. There is a small [+] and [-] button that you can use to add and delete paths from the Combo-Edit Box. - [This Computer's Directory at Logon] When you log onto a remote site, 32bit FTP will change directory to this directory on the This Computer. Each remote site can have its own This Computer logon directory. There is a small [+] and [-] button that you can use to add and delete paths from the Combo-Edit Box.
