Hello, CFB!
CS> I'm not aware of any existing FTP client. Would something related to TCP /
CS> HTTP help towards your work? If so, Stewart Greenhill has published some TCP
CS> / HTTP-related modules:
CS>
http://espc22.murdoch.edu.au/~stewart/blackbox/
Thank you very much for this link! I found the module CommTCPAsync
very useful, because I already noticed that standard CommTCP module
blocks while resolving remote address and establishing connection.
CS> Alternatively, the 1300-line source code file of an FTP client written in
CS> Oberon is included as part of the Network Tools package that is distributed
CS> with Plug-in ETH Oberon for Windows:
CS>
http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/windows.html
CS> Before you go to the effort of downloading and installing it, you can view
CS> the FTP definition file here:
CS>
http://www.oberon.ethz.ch/ethoberon/defs/FTPDocs.Def.html
I've already got it installed.
CS> As you may or may not know, BlackBox is *very* closely related to ETH
CS> Oberon.
I didn't know that.
I didn't have much time to study its internals before I fell in love
with BlackBox.
CS> Other ETH Oberon packages have been successfully ported to BlackBox
CS> so it might not be too difficult to port this one.
I looked into it, but found that both FTP and FTPDocs modules are
too much depend on the rest of Network Tools subsystem. Also the
FTPDocs is too much oriented towards Gadgets, and FTP supports only
one session at a time.
I'm thinking about something more modular, easy to understand and
useful in different circumstances. And I'd like to separate GUI from
the byte-processing.
