Version History

1.56

• Fixed authentication with servers that require reuse of the authentication of an existing connection. Requires AcornSSL 1.06.

1.52

• Fixed timeout reconnect for server that doesn't leave the timeout message.
• Changed deprecated instructions.

1.51

• Added timestamp of local directory when downloading if MLST command is supported. Timestamping of remote directory is not possible as writing a file to the remote directory changes its timestamp.

1.50

             submenu="submenu name"
             ...list of entries that will go in submenu.
             endsubmenu="true"

When selected FTPc will add ,hex (eg ,fff) to all files uploaded (if the file doesn't already end in ,hex) and remove ,hex from files downloaded and set the filetype accordingly.
