OoO Sexy. Good job Arta

With what license is this fine piece of software published ?
May it be redistributed or bundled with other software ?

[Arta]

I don't mind if people redistribute it, as long as it's credited and not modified. A link to testbncs.valhallalegends.com (or www.valhallalegends.com/arta) somewhere in the readme/help would be nice.

Nice job arta, the new look to your site is better then the old one.

[RockSteady]

Very Cool

A new version of BnFTP is available:

- Added the -a switch. When used with a patch file, this instructs BnFTP to autodetect the platform and product for the patch, so you don't have to use the -g and -p switches.
- Added a file transfer speed message
- Fixed a couple of small bugs

eh, how do you use it? When I open it, nothing shows up.

[Arta]

I'll say again: it's command-line (console) program.

[PaiD]

Commands are?

A GUI version would be nice, i personally prefer the explorer type ftp programs they just make life easy

[Arta]

Those who can't handle a command-line should see this thread.

What are the commands/switches for it arta ? have you got a readme with list of them etc?

I don't believe there is a way to request what files are on the ftp, so an explorer type program would be useless.

I have'nt had a chance to look at the protocol tbh so if thats not possible then it's a shame. You could of make a real nice GUI if it allowed you to get info on the latest patches and files.
