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.

I've used LeechFTP for quite some time now. It's freeware but loaded
with some very nice features. Multithreaded, multiple connections to
same or different servers, remote delete/rename, UNIX style directory
listing, bookmarks etc. Some parts of it do take a bit getting used
to.

Get it from
http://stud.fh-heilbronn.de/~jdebis/leechftp/downloads.html or try the
nonags site.

Well, It doesn't say it will stop working, but it *is* shareware. I
did for some reason miss that fact the first time. ASS-UMEing, I
guess.

I've got one good freebee working and I want to check a couple
others.

Does FTPX nag after 30 days?

I like the ready to go FTP sites. WS_FTP used to have some
interesting FTP sites that came with the install.

Did I forget to mention Servant Salamander? It's isn't *real*
special, but it's a 2 pane file manager with a command window which
I think executes the shell command in the active directory. Could be
handy.

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

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.

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

No the version I have, 1.0 does not nag.
And yes it has a bunch of ready to go ftp sites very much like cuteftp.

Mine is version 95.08.19 ;-)

JT = old fart using old software! That's the problem with new
software, enhanced brokeness.
The old standby is command line ftp. Unix and Windoze ftp work as
designed from the command line.

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.

That's all my old version 95.08.19 does. What else DO you need?

Hello Jim,

Nothing, really. That's why I am happy with it. Active8's problem with
zip files should also vanish with Wise-FTP. You simply make sure that
the selection box for binary is checked in the configuration.

What surprises me is that many companies don't operate an FTP server
anymore. Or maybe their employees just don't know it's there. When I had
large CAD files that exceeded email limits for the recipient sometimes
the only way to get them there was to set up a secure download area for
them on my server.
