                              MaemoFTP 0.1
			      ------------

This is a simple FTP client using the Hildon toolkit. This work is based on
guiftp 0.1, which is made by Luc Dufresne.

This program can be run in Maemo environment (currently that means Nokia N800
and N810 - older versions run on Nokia 770, too), or in scratchbox developement
environment (see www.scratchbox.org). This program can be compiled in scratchbox.

Read INSTALL for help about installation

See below for a list known of bugs.

A quote from Luc Dufresne:

"I just wrote this program to learn a few things: gtk+ and socket programming
(I also discovered pthreads, gettext (you can get french translations),
autoconf, automake...). It is the first "real" program I wrote (and I hope
there aren't to many nasty bugs). I don't know if it will be useful to someone
(I hope so), but at least I find it useful and I use it sometimes (when I'm to
tired to use lftp)."

I could say almost the same thing. Well, this isn't first of my "real"
programs, but it is my first real Gtk based program, and also I have learned
a lot about autotools, gtk and such things. And to answer the question, yes,
this program has been useful to at least me :-) I hope that my work will be
useful for some other people as well.

I want to say my thanks to Luc Dufresne, who made it possible for me to make
this port by writing guiftp.


KNOWN BUGS

There are some bugs that I haven't yet been able to resolve. Here is a listing
of those.

-[ MMC is not shown in the folder list ]-

The folder that contains stuff like the device itself, MMC, phones, UPnP
devices and so on is a virtual folder. That and the fact that the file chooser
is derived from the hildon file chooser widget (from the content pane of it,
to be more precise) are the reason for these folders to not be shown in
the folder navigation.

Workaround: Use the folder chooser button (in the upper left corner) to choose
the MMC folder. After that, you can navigate on the MMC. To switch back to
browsing the device internal files, use the folder chooser dialog again.

-[ Downloading to/from phone doesn't work ]-

The phone is not mounted into the local file system. Due to this, standard
file commands don't work with the phone. The code is meant to be rewritten
to use GnomeVFS in all file operations, which will overcome this problem.

Workaround: Download to local memory or MMC and then use File Manager to move
the file to phone (or the other way around).
