Century Software, Inc., has had a request to incorporate a graphical FTP client into the TinyTERM emulator. This would be similar to Century FTP Plus or SecureFT. That has not been implemented thus far.

CR 48

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a scripting language to SecureFT. This would allow automation of file transfers for the FTP, SFTP and SCP protocols.

This has not yet been implemented. The workaround for FTP is to use TinyTERM and the CScript language.

CR 417

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to implement RFC 2228 in SecureFT. This has not been done thus far.

CR 413

You can use WinZip and similar programs to create .zip archives on an NFS drive. This works properly on Windows 95 or 98 systems. On Windows NT systems a .tmp file is created, but the .zip archive creation fails with an error that it cannot rename the file.

CR 282

If you use TERM for SCO UNIX to transfer a file to a directory that does not exist, TERM drops the connection.

CR 280

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a feature to TinyTERM that would delete a file from the host after downloading it to the PC. This has not been implemented thus far.

CR 272

Using the Century FTP Client to connect to a VAX FTP server, you cannot delete a file. Instead, you’ll see an error like, “Unable to delete the file %RMS-F-SYN file spec Syntax error.” Other FTP clients tested against the same VMS system can delete the same file.

CR 238, fixed in SecureFT

In a CScript that does multiple FTP file transfers, the second transfer can generate the message, “Error (4514) Bad argument to function: Expected number, got undefined.”

The following script also exhibits the problem:

FTSetProtocol(“FTP”);
FTSetHostName(“ftp.domain.net”);
FTSetUserName(“anonymous”);
FTSetPassword(“user@domain.com”);
FTSetSync(1);
FTSetXferStat(false);
FTGet(“/pub/README”,”C:/Temp”);

If you use FTSetXferStat(true); instead of false, the error doesn’t happen. But it does if you set the End of transfer acknowledgement option in TinyTERM’s File Transfer Properties.

This error is not consistent across versions of TinyTERM or Windows, nor does every script with multiple FTP file transfers exhibit the problem.

CR 234, multiple transfer error resolved in TinyTERM 4.7.2, 15 March 2012
CR 778, script

In TinyTERM Plus 4.x, Century NFS is only supported on Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0. On newer versions of Windows, it will either not function or cause system crashes.

Century Software, Inc., has had requests to support Windows 2000, Me and XP. To date we have not done so, primarily because Samba provides a much simpler and cost-effective solution.

CR 233

When using FTP, file permissions on uploaded files — the UNIX umask setting — are controlled by the FTP daemon. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a umask option to our FTP clients. This has not been implemented at this time.
