   DLGftp is a module for Dialog that permits to access to devices (CD or
Hard  Disk)  simulating  a FTP session. The files will be copied into the
user's directory ready to be get from.

   The  program  uses fully the dlg.library so it's compact and fast; but
it can't be launched from the CLI like a normal program.

   This is a short list of functions offered by the program:

 o  Possibility to specify a minimum level of access to the program.
    You can do this from Dialog too, but in this way is more nice (no
    password is get from the user in the moment of login).

 o  Visualisation before and after login of two text files precedently
    written by Sysop

 o  Very simply command interface but efficient with every useful commands
    to work on volumes. Help in line avaible for every commands.

 o  Management of a detailed help by the view of an external file.

 o  Possibility  to visualize (by not given but easy to be found external
    programs) ipertexts in AmigaGuide format and contents of archives.

 o  Management of environments (compatible with the programs ConDir
    Blitz-CD)  to assure an exclusive access to the CD-ROM, mainly
    useful in case of multy-line BBS with multiple CD-ROM reader.

 o  Possibility to specify for every volume a level of access, a
    minimum level for transferring files in the private area and a base
    directory where the user can accede.

 o  Possibility to specify for every volume the view of a file during the
    access  and  the  name of a file to search inside every new directory
    where the user enters.

 o  Verification  of  the  effective  CD's  presence at the moment of the
    access  request,  to  consent  the  periodical rotation by the CDs in
    line.

 o  Possibility  to  manage a series of accounts that can rise the user's
    access  level at the moment of login, to assure the access to certain
    volumes that generally cannot be used, or only at higher levels.

 o  Notification on file of every actions done by user.

 o  Files tranferred by the user in his private directory
    can have the flag FREE tagged on.

 o  Optional control of the user's directory dimension before to transfer
    a file.

   ...and a lot of other things that you'll discover trying it!
