- New Help system.
Version 4.7
Released February, 2007
New Features:
- When using "Zip Uploaded Files" option it is now possible to include a current system time in the name of the zip file ("Zip File Name" option). For example: myfile{hh:mm:ss}.zip will cause the zip file to be named "myfile10_38_12.zip" assuming the current system time is 10:38:12.
- Zip and Unzip options are now available regardless of the file extension (previously ".zip" extension was required).
-
Some internal bug fixes.
Version 4.6
Released February, 2005
New Features:
- Scheduled transfers stopped running on some Windows systems. This problem has been fixed.
- Corrected a bug that prevented the user from renaming or deleting a folder that was last used during the transfer.
- When using "Zip Uploaded Files" option (in Transfer Manager) it is now possible to include a current system date in the name of the zip file ("Zip File Name" option).
- When the uploaded files were zipped and encrypted setting a password for the zip file caused an error. This bug was corrected.
Version 4.5
Released June, 2005
New Features:
- New options in Email Setup window: Some SMTP servers may require some form of authentication or login before an email message can be sent. The simplest form of this is HELLO command followed by a Signon Text. More advanced authentication requires a Userid and a Password. There can be 3 Authentication Types Plain, Login, and Cram-MD5. Another new option in Email Setup window is Message Body template. It can contain the following keywords: LOG, DATE, TIME. More keywords could be added in the future.
- Restart On Errors option (File/Preferences/Auto Transfers). When checked causes AutoFtp to restart itself when there are too many errors. Previously, the program always did that. Now, the user can turn it off.
- When the user changes some of the connection settings such as User Name, Password, Remote Host Address, or Port he/she will have an option to update all Transfer Sets that use this connection. In the past, when connection settings were changed the transfer sets using it had to be recreated.
- New options in Special Functions: Now in the following 4 special functions: Delete Local Non-Existing Files, Delete Remote Non-Existing Files, Upload Site, and Download Site multiple wildcards (separated by ; character) can be used, for example: *.txt; *.pdf; *.doc
- Now, the Service status is displayed in the main window on the status bar (the bottom-right corner). It is no longer necessary to open Windows Services Console to check if the Service has been installed or not and if it is running. Possible status messages are: "Service not Installed.", "Service Running.", "Service Stopped.", and "Uninstalling Service.".
- There is a new menu item in the main window: File/Stop Service. It allows the user to stop service without uninstalling it.
