Subject: ANNOUNCE: ftp_lib 1.1 - DN [1]

Steffen.Traeger@t-online.de (Steffen Traeger) - 13 Jan 1999 - comp.lang.tcl.announce,comp.lang.tcl

 I would like to announce the new release 1.1 of the FTP Library Package
 for tcl/tk8.x.

 ftp_lib is available at

         http://home.t-online.de/home/Steffen.Traeger/tindexe.htm

 The loadable package ftp_lib.tcl provides client side of the File Transfer
 Protocol (FTP). The package extends tcl/tk with commands to support the
 file transfer protocol like OPEN, CLOSE, LIST, PUT, GET, REGET etc..  It's
 used either to add FTP ability to existing tcl/tk applications or to create
 small FTP scripts in tcl that perform tasks without user interaction.  It
 allows automatic up/download processes even up to the mirroring of complete
 FTP sites.

 The library package consists of 100% pure tcl code, no extensions, no C
 stuff.

 What's new in release 1.1:

    * ftp_lib now serves active (default) and passive data transfer
 processes
    * improved return codes for a better error handling
    * hook for creating a graphical progress bar during file transfer
    * new command FTP::FileSize that gets the file size of a remote file
    * new test and demo programs
    * "hpupdate" is shipped with ftp_lib
    * detailed command description
    * some minor changes and bug fixes
