Kurz:     FTP-Handler als Verzeichnis

    
This is FTPMount which was developped by Evan Scott and later
Thies Wellpott. As it is no more developped by them, I will try to
make some small updates. Read FTPMount_upd.txt for more facts
about the last version 1.2, the history and Thies Wellpott ;-)

What is it?
===========

FTPMount is just a small handler and does (nearly) nothing when
it is mounted as device 'FTP:'. But after that you can execute FTP
commands very easy by standard system commands and tools!

FTP sites appear as subdirectories of a file system device 'FTP:'.
The root directory of FTP: is actually a mirror of a real directory
somewhere else in the file system.  This allows common FTP sites to
be permanently listed under FTP: (so they appear in file requesters
etc), and, through the use of icon tooltypes, to support ftp site
aliases and other options.

FTPMount supports both anonymous and private ftp sessions.  Mounted
private ftp sessions can act as a poor-person's NFS mount.
