visftp preview 1 release notes
==============================

This is a very early development version of visftp. Some things work, most
things are not even implemented, but it's still somewhat useful for some use
cases.

What works
----------
  - Connecting as anonymous.
  - Logging in with username and password.
  - Browsing FTP servers.
  - Downloading files (F5).
  - Deleting local files (F8).
  - Viewing remote files (F3).
  - Quitting back to DOS (F10).

What doesn't work
-----------------
  - Uploading (F5).
  - Treating symlinks to directories as directories.
  - Selections (ins).
  - Queueing multiple actions.
  - Type-to-search.
  - Deleting remote files (F8).
  - Creating directories (F7).
  - Managing FTP servers from the UI.
  - Managing credentials from the UI.

Usage
-----
Backspace goes to the parent directory.

The only way to specify the FTP server to connect to at the moment, is at the
command-line: `visftp ftp.scene.org` or `visftp my_preconfigured_server_name`.

The default is to login as anonymous. If you wish to login with username and
password, there are two ways to do it:

  - pass the credentials on the command-line: `visftp user:pass@server`
  - create a server configuration file (see `example.srv`).

The server configuration file is expected to be in the home directory as
`.visftp.srv` on UNIX systems, and as `visftp.srv` wherever the `VISFTP`
environment variable points on DOS (set it in your `autoexec.bat`).
