| chaozz 21/11/2002 4:54am | how do i choose between Ascii/Binary type of upload/download? now i.ftp does it all in binary, but cgi files need to be uploaded in ascii mode |
| fReT 21/11/2002 6:38am | If you edit the file in the correct format locally then it doesn't matter.
Text editors can do that now days... the whole ASCII / Binary thing isn't needed these days. IMHO :) |
| chaozz 22/11/2002 10:00am | i can clearly see that you have never worked with CGI scripts before. trust me: it matters! |
| fReT 22/11/2002 10:43pm | This whole site is built with scripts... php ones. Same thing applies.
My text editor saves the files in the right format from the start, and the FTP program needs to do no conversion. To my understanding all ASCII mode transfers do is format the line end characters to be native for the destination system. But having re-read the RFC just for my peice of mind it says that all FTP implementations should support the ASCII format. Blah blah blha. So I'll put a menu in to select which format... not that I agree with you... I still think everything should be binary and you should edit the file in the correct format, but the RFC is the standard and I believe in standards, even if they are out-dated and clunky. |
| fReT 22/11/2002 11:28pm | Check the new version out..
Let me know if it doesn't work. |
| chaozz 06/12/2002 3:07am | great work!!
it does the trick for me. me entire page is also build on scripts (CGI) and this new feature makes iFTP my #1 upload tool. :) i do however need to reupload your program to my database. it will show up on under1mb.com in a few hours... |
| carmoda 09/06/2003 10:01pm | OK, we now have the ASCII/binary file type select, but what format do we put multiple files type in with ?
php.html.include or .php. .html, .include or .....? [sorry to be pedantic] |
| fReT 10/06/2003 6:16am | It uses a list of file patterns separated by ";" or "," or " ".
e.g: *.html,*.php,*.txt would work fine. |
