Here is the format for an FTP URL:
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
ftp://<UserName>:<Password>@<ServerName>:<PortNum>/<Dir1>/...<SubDirs>/<FileName.txt>:type=<a|b>
|
|
|
|
UserName - [Optional] On WinNT, this can include "domain\username" and the '\' is entered as "%5c" in escaped form to get past the URL format.
|
|
Password - [Optional] Obvious. Later I will handle displaying a dialog to enter the password when it wasn't given in the url.
|
|
Server - [Required] Intranet Machine Name, Internet DNS Name, or IP addr.
|
|
Port - [Optional] Defaults to 21. You can test by changing IIS.
|
|
SubDir - [Optional] Needs to end in a '/' or I assume it's a file. (Hitting the server is too expensive)
|
|
Having a file extension will affect this. This is always relative to the Virtual Root directory
|
|
if the server has a Virtual Root for that user. If you log into bryanst2 with bryanst2\JoeMama,
|
|
your virtual Dir is (\user\JoeMama\). ftp://bryanst2%5cJoeMama:pass@bryanst2/SubDir1/ will be
|
|
/user/JoeMama/SubDir1/ on the server. Original IE makes all SubDirs in the URL ralative to the
|
|
base (not Virtual Root), so these are incompatible. I use the new way, because that follows the
|
|
FTP spec. This is why I have "Correct Url" and "Incorrect Url" in the test web pages. You will
|
|
find that IE4's original FTP support works correctly with URL w/o files (i.e. Directories).
|
|
|
|
Virtual Root = /Users/Sales/User1/
|
|
File /Users/Sales/User1/SubDir1/file.txt
|
|
New FTP File URL: ftp://User1:Pass@Serv/SubDir1/file.txt
|
|
New FTP Dir URL: ftp://User1:Pass@Serv/SubDir1/
|
|
IE4 FTP File URL: ftp://User1:Pass@Serv/Users/Sales/User1/SubDir1/file.txt
|
|
IE4 FTP Dir URL: ftp://User1:Pass@Serv/Users/Sales/User1/SubDir1/
|
|
|
|
FileName - [Optional] Test files with and w/o extensions.
|
|
Type - [Optional] A mean download in ASCII. The other is either B[inary] or I[mage], which means download in binary. Right now, I only support B, but I may also may be needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Test Areas:
|
|
===========

|
|
1.3 Use these as Drop Targets: Email message, File System Folder, Ftp Folder on Same Server (SubDir), Ftp Folder
|
|
on another server, Internet Explorer (can display dropped html file), Name Space Extensions (like Fonts Folder,
|
|
ActiveX Control Cache, WinZip).
|
|
1.4 Use the following as Drag Sources: Email Message, Internet Shortcuts on web page, gif from web page w/o HREF,
|
|
file system folder, UNC path, from my computer, brief case, recycle bin, WordPad (drag a scrap to an FTP Site).
|
|
|
|
1.5 Error cases: Dest Dir Full, No Write, Full of connections, Proxy blocks action.
|
|

Subject: The great thing about standards...
|
|
RFC959, the spec for FTP, says that the response to the "SYST" command must be
|
|
a string whose first token is on the list of operating systems maintained by the
|
|
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (i.e., the people who are authorized to do
|
|
these sorts of things). Now, one of the official "operating systems" is called
|
|
WIN32, which means that "this FTP site follows WIN32 long file name semantics".
|
|
Not to be confused with "MSDOS", which means "FAT semantics", or "UNIX" which
|
|
means "case-sensitive, arbitrary length, only slashes disallowed" or "UNIX-BSD"
|
|
which means "case-sensitive, maximum 14 characters, only slashes disallowed",
|
|
or "TOPS20" which means "God help you". If you ask ftp.microsoft.com what
|
|
operating system it is using, it reports "Windows_NT" instead of "WIN32".
|
|
I go down the list of "official" operating systems, find that "Windows_NT"
|
|
isn't on the list, and assert "Unrecognized operating system on the other
|
|
end; assuming UNIX". And then I think that the guy on the other side uses
|
|
case-sensitive filenames and get confused when it doesn't... That's the
|
|
great thing about standards. By ignoring them, you make it impossible for
|
|
your own developers to write stuff that uses them...
