[OT:] FTP clients

[Active8]

Just got done chatting with an earthlink droid. I don't recall haw
many ISPs suggest using WS_FTP for uploading to personal webspace,
but the best this moron could do is suggest uploading via this site:

http://www.net2ftp.com/

which decompresses archives. I want to upload a zip, not the
individual files contained therein.

I used to use WS_FTP Pro 7.6, now it's WS_FTP Pro 9.0 and it at
least deleted files. I think it uploaded them too. Using passive
xfer (like I selected for the link above and that's the way it
always worked at earthlink) and manually selecting binary mode. The
new WS_FTP Pro is a radical change in GUI from what I had, but it
should still work.

If not, who's using what around here? Maybe it's time to change.

Hello Active8,

http://www.acebit.com/

I am using their Wise-FTP and I am quite happy with it. Very easy to
organize the stuff in the local window on the left (Local System) and
see what is on the server in the right window (Remote System). Then you
can select what gets transferred and what needs to be deleted.

You can also have it display the whole communication enchilada during
transfer. That kind of feedback is crucial at times.

Regards, Joerg

Considering "what's out there" unencrypted transfer of data is kind of
wreckless. As any simple network snooping will grab passwords just like that.
Also download over ftp is vurnable to the man-in-the-middle attack. So
files ought to be signed at least to be secure.
Try to find an isp that support SCP transfer.

This program is nice to do encrypted transfers with:
http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/download.php

(With roots from http://www.openssh.com/ and ssh.com)

If I were worried about security I'd PGP it. I'm just leaving some
file. Here. You can have them. Maybe you can figger out why
output.fft f*cks up and input1.dat doesn't.

Ooooh ... cool ... Integrates with Pageant (Putty Agent)

I bet earthlink doesn't do SFTP. There's other ways to get at my
stuff from far away. I wouldn't host a serious site on earthlink.
I'd get a host with a shell acct.

Hi,

I've had no problems whatsoever with FTP Surfer. Its free.

http://www.whispertech.com/surfer/index.htm

Free? So was WS_FTP when I got it ten years ago. Since it was
written properly it continues to work, irrespective of the OS... now
working just ducky on Win2K.

I'm using XP

I bet yer son or someone here could figger out this micro tiny c++
thingy. I put the bare essentials in a console app.

http://home.earthlink.net/~mcolasono/tmp/degub.zip

Opening output.fft and loading it into a std::vector<float> screws
up, but input1.dat doesn't. It does load the vector, too. It just
craps out when you return to the console, or in the [wx]winders app,
the message loop. I think it has something to do with the
vector<float> going out of scope. The fft file is 512 floats and I
converted the actual values to test.txt. They didn't look right
plotted either, but I can deal with that later.

I did it in VC++ which might not have it's STL sh*t together. I bet
it runs on a linux box. I might try that.

Anyone want some c++ classes that operate on s, y, and z params? It
stores them as complex numbers with accessor functions, operator
overloads, conversions, ... It's even got some plotting functions in
platform independent wxWindows, FWIW. Oh, It does MAG, gain circles,
conjugate match, and the like on the s-params.

The user might separate the complex class and the derived params
classes into separate files. That's something I'm going to do.

Storeing numbers as binary data is something that unix os avoided quite early
due that it easily cause problems with different formats. Ofcourse it's
slightly slower..

You can still store binary data. It's built in to the c++ language.
Betcha sizeof(float) is 4.

You know, I don't even believe that. You tell fread to write x
sizeof(type_size) bytes and the OS deals with it. WTF are you
talking about?

rather sizeof() returns size_type or type_size, but that doesn't
change my point.

Look at Total Commander: http://www.ghisler.com.

It's a split-window file manager, but also contains a comfortable FTP client.
Powerful tool, anyway.

Betcha sizeof(float) is 4.

Format of numbers may change between compiler and architecture.
There is a reason for htonl() etc..

Those are macros and they just change the byte ordering for
networking.

Just because unices use text files to configure everything doesn't
mean they *have* to - as if their machine would wake up one day and
decide to treat ints as 2 bytes. I suppose unix coders store images
and audio as text, too. You still have to know how to read the
format.

What's your point, anyway? It's irrelevant to anything I've said.
And BTW, those classes, when I say "stores them as complex numbers
with accessor functions," that clearly indicates that I'm speaking
about something internal to the class and doesn't even begin to
suggest whether I store them as text either in memory or on disk. In
fact, the original program read the s-params in from a text file.

Since I can't expect my ADC to give me ints in text... I don't know
why I'd want to slow things down storing a signal as text on a disk.

Does the program in the first link compile on your Sun OS?

I have putty, but that would only maybe benefit me for FTP if I can

do SFTP with it. Earthlink & SFTP? Nah.
