700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual

The format of the FTPDCE.TXT is as follows:

FTPDCE:user1!passwd1<cr><lf>user2!passwd2<cr><lf>user3
!passwd3<cr><lf>...

Note: The user accounts and passwords are case sensitive.
Once the access control list is encrypted on the 700 Color Computer,
the FTP Server hides this file from users. Once an access control list
is installed on the 700 Color Computer, a new one is not accepted by
the FTP Server until the previous one is removed. Encrypted access
control lists are not portable between 700 Color Computers.

Stopping the FTP Server from Your Application

To allow application programmers the ability to programmatically shut
down the FTP Server, the FTP Server periodically tests to see if a named
event is signaled. The name for this event is “ITC_IFTP_STOP” (no
quotes).

For examples on how to use events, consult the Microsoft Developer Net-
work Library at www.msdn.com. The MSDN Library is an essential re-
source for developers using Microsoft tools, products, and technologies. It
contains a bounty of technical programming information, including sam-
ple code, documentation, technical articles, and reference guides.

Autostart FTP

This automatically starts the FTP Server (FTPDCE.EXE) when the 700
Color Computer is powered on. This is provided with the NDISTRAY
program (the Network Driver Interface Specification tray application),
which displays the popup menu that currently allows you to load and un-
load the network drivers. Tap the antenna icon in the System Tray of the
Today screen (a sample antenna icon is circled below) for this pop-up menu.
