WS_FTP 95 FAQ - Common problems and solutions
1. When I use WS_FTP to connect to
xxxxxx, I get connected ok, as well as logged in, but the list box for the remote side
remains blank. In the status window the last thing I see is "DoDirList returned
4".
Answer: Change your MTU setting in your
network stack to 576. (see end of document for doing this on Window 95)
2. When I use WS_FTP to connect to
xxxxxx, I get connected ok as well as logged in, but the list box for the remote side
remains blank or contains garbage.
Answer: Go to Options -> Session
Options and change the host type. Try "UNIX (standard)", "Sun
Solaris", "WinQVT/Net", "Ipswitch" and THEN any other types
that may seem to be correct.
3. When I use WS_FTP to connect to
"ftp.uwp.edu" the host dialog boxes are not filled in correctly.
Answer: Set the host type to WinQVT/Net
** OR ** start your e-mail address with a hypen (-). This is set in the Options ->
Program Options screen.
4. When I use WS_FTP32 to connect to a
site, it gives me a "write error" when attempting to retrieve the directory
listing.
Answer: Open a DOS window and enter
"set". Then create the directory specified by your TMP and TEMP environment
variables.
5. WS_FTP only returns NNNNN bytes of a
file and can never retrieve the whole file.
Answer: Set your MTU in your program
stack to 576.
6. WS_FTP does not always return a
complete file and leaves off from 50 to 512 bytes.
Answer: Some network stacks do not
properly handle data packets that have the FIN flag set. These stacks improperly
return a length of zero to a blocking recv socket call and do not make all the data
available to the application. Contact your network stack provider for an updated version
of the network stack.
7. WS_FTP can only connect to the WS_FTP
site and nothing else or WS_FTP can't connect to anything.
Answer: Configure your name server in
your stack. Talk to your internet provider for the proper values for DNS.
8. WS_FTP32 won't run on Windows 95.
Answer: Use the built in Microsoft
TCP/IP stack that comes with Windows 95 or get a 32 bit network stack from your network
stack provider. You can NOT run a 32 bit network application on a 16 bit network stack on
a 32 bit operating system.
9. How can I transfer directory
structures?
Answer: Simply select the directory you
want to transfer and click the transfer arrow.
10. How can I transfer multiple files?
Answer: Use the CTRL key with the left
mouse button and select the files you want to transfer. Then click the proper transfer
arrow.
11. How can I transfer a file that

Answer: Click the transfer arrow when NO
file is selected and you will be prompted for the file name to retrieve.
12. Why don't you add the ability to
retry a connection when it is busy?
Answer: It already has that ability.
Look for "retries" in the Advanced Connect dialog.
13. Why are files corrupted after
transfer?
Answer: Make sure you transfer TEXT
files in Text mode and MOST other files in BINARY mode. If you still have problems, verify
that you have hardware flow control enabled on your modem. If you have NetCom stack, turn
in a bug report to NetCom. If you have Trumpet 2.1d, update to 2.1f or drop back to 2.0b.
14. How do I transfer files from the
command line?
Answer: Please read the WS_FTP.TXT file
that comes INSIDE the ZIP file. It contains the command line info.
15. How can I change to a hidden
directory?

select "FTP Commands" and then select "CWD". You can then manually
