KeySoft 5.1 with the existing Internet Explorer 4.01-based KeyWeb already lets you browse FTP sites, in passive mode. Listings are displayed in HTML as web pages, and transactions are all done without a permanent connection to the host. Files can be retrieved already simply by specifying the URL. To get a listing for a certain host, specify that host and path in the URL. You must supply the "ftp://"; prefix. The authentication hack is supported. For instance, if I want the contents of the /agrip/accessiblequake/ directory at host agrip.org.uk and want to log on as anonymous: ftp://agrip.org.uk/agrip/accessiblequake/ If I wanted to log on to oblique.agrip.org.uk with username fu and password bar and change to the /home/fu/private directory: ftp://fu:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/fu/private/ Sending files (put) is not supported. Gopher is not supported (and likely never will be). FTP URLs are sent to your HTTP proxy, if configured; if Squid is the proxy server, it will do a similar thing as the BrailleNote, only in a much less broken fashion (IE4 is awful). Whether or not a full FTP client is really required, I'm not sure - but I suppose if the BrailleNote is going to do FTP at all, it might as well do it properly. IE6 has a full, if stupidly simplistic, FTP client that maintains persistent sessions and works in active mode. It uses an explorer-like interface.
