Short: V3.0! Get recent aminet uploads with AmFTP Author: Yves Grabowsky (YvesGrabowsky@t-online.de) Uploader: YvesGrabowsky t-online de Type: comm/mail Version: 3.0 Requires: RexxReqtools-, Rexxtricks- & tritonrexx.library Architecture: m68k-amigaos Introduction: AminetGetFTP is a program, that let's you get the Aminet Recent Uploads in the Aminet Recent Mail with AmFTP. You can choose the recent mail by hand or let AminetGetFTP scan our whole folder for recent mails. After that you can select the uploads you want, you click on the start button, AminetGetFTP runs Miami and goes online, and runs AmFTP and gets the files. When the files are on your HD AminetGetFTP goes offline and extracts the received archive to a place of your choice (just if you wish). It is very configureable, very user-friendly and has many features. Features: - TritonGUI - downloads files very fast - comfortable Configprogram - you can select a predefined aminet site or specify a own server address - easy to use - no limit how much files you want to get - you have two lists, in the upper you can select which upload you want, and in the lower are the uploads, that you want, displayed and can be removed everytime. - you can store files you want to get on disk, collect them and get them all at once at a later time - PropFonts - you can use your own fonts - if you click on "Get the files" and you are not online, AminetGetFTP will run Miami and go online - progressbar that shows you what AmFTP and AminetGetFTP is currently doing - simple but powerful - you can open it on a pubscreen - if you wish it goes offline automatically after the uploads are on your HD - you can configure AminetGetFTP to execute a command or script before it goes offline (e.g. when you have a account at Monolith you can dismount your host before AminetGetFTP advices Miami to go offline) - if you want, AminetGetFTP extracts your received archive to a directory of your choice - MultiMail, when you have MultiMail enabled, then AminetGetFTP scans on its start your current YAM folder for recent mails and you can then select the recent mail by Next Mail/Last Mail buttons, the date of the recent mail is also displayed, when you disable it then you have to choose one recent mail before you run AminetGetFTP - I DON'T WANT MONEY FROM YOU FOR THIS!
