NcFTP 3.3.0 for AmigaOS 3.x (m68k)
==================================

NcFTP is a free set of FTP programs that has been around since 1992.
This is a port of the current 3.3.0 release to AmigaOS m68k; it
supersedes comm/net/ncftp-3.2.0.lha.

All binaries are plain 68000 code (softfloat) and run on any Amiga.
They are linked against clib2, so no ixemul.library is required.


Included programs
-----------------
  ncftp           interactive FTP client
  ncftpget        non-interactive download (script friendly)
  ncftpput        non-interactive upload
  ncftpls         non-interactive directory listing
  ncftpbatch      spool processing for "bgget"/"bgput" jobs
  ncftpbookmarks  bookmark editor (full-screen TUI, ncurses)

Filename completion and command line editing are built in - GNU
Readline is not required. Passive mode (PASV) is the default, which
usually just works behind NAT routers; "set passive off" switches
back to active transfers.


Requirements
------------
- AmigaOS 2.0 or newer, 68020+ recommended
- A TCP/IP stack providing bsdsocket.library: Roadshow, AmiTCP,
  Miami or equivalent. Tested on an A1200/68060 with Roadshow 1.15.
- No ixemul.library and no other runtime libraries beyond the
  standard AmigaOS ones.


Installation
------------
Copy the archive contents to a directory of your choice and add it to
your path, e.g. "Copy ncftp-3.3.0-amigaos-m68k/#? SYS:Utilities/NcFTP
ALL". ncftpbatch has to stay in the same directory as ncftp so that
"bgstart" can find it.

For the bookmark editor set a terminal type first, e.g.
"SetEnv TERM amiga". The terminal descriptions amiga, ansi, vt100,
vt102 and xterm are compiled in, so no terminfo database is needed.


Amiga specifics
---------------
- Configuration (bookmarks, prefs) is stored in ENVARC:ncftp/ so it
  survives a reboot; log, history and trace files go to PROGDIR:logs/
  (created automatically). The config path can be overridden with the
  environment variable NCFTPDIR (Unix notation, e.g.
  SetEnv NCFTPDIR "/Work/ncftp-config").
- The background spooler works natively: "bgget"/"bgput" queue jobs,
  "jobs" lists the queue and "bgstart" launches ncftpbatch
  asynchronously via SystemTags() with NIL: I/O instead of fork().
- Paths are Unix-like (clib2 -lunix): "/" maps to the current drive,
  and Amiga paths such as "Work:Downloads" work as well.


Known limitations
-----------------
- File sizes are limited to 2 GB: clib2 has no 64-bit printf/scanf
  conversions, so the port uses 32-bit sizes throughout (clib2's file
  I/O is 32-bit anyway).
- Pipe transfers to external programs (tar mode) are disabled, as
  there is no fork()/pipe().
- No alarm()/SIGALRM timeouts: a hung connection will not time out by
  itself, use Ctrl-C to abort.
- There is no SIGPIPE on Amiga; broken connections surface as write
  errors instead.
