Windows - Run the downloaded file and follow the
instructions that will be displayed. The installer will create shortcuts to launch JFTP on
your desktop and Start|Programs menu. If you choose to uninstall JFTP, go to
ControlPanel|Add/Remove Programs and select JFTP from the list of installed software to
remove it. Remember, Win98 will not run JFTP with Java 2... Java 1.1.7 or
1.1.8 is required with Win98. Win95 and NT work with Java 2 or Java 1.1.7 or later.
MacOS - MacOS requires installation of Apple's MRJ 2.1 for proper operation of JFTP. UnStuff
the downloaded bin file, and it will unpack to the JFTP installer. Run the installer and
follow the instructions to install the software.To remove JFTP simply delete the
installation folder. JFTP will not work properly with earlier versions of MRJ.
| Important MacOS Note: After installing
on the Mac, you will find a file named jconfig.sit in your <jftp root>/bin
folder. You must UnStuff this file in place to extract the Mac native fragment JConfig.shlb
that JFTP uses to view files using default Mac applications. JFTP determines which application to use for specific file types from the
Mac's Internet Configuration. If the Internet Configuration is disabled, JFTP uses some
typical defaults. |
UNIX/Linux- Make sure that your java
executable (1.1.7 or later) is in the current PATH. You will have to change the
permission of the download to executable (chmod +x jftp_1_0_unix.bin) in order to run it.
Open a console window on your graphical desktop and run the downloaded bin file to
launch the installer. The installer will run at first within the console and then launch
an installation wizard. Follow the instructions that appear. To remove JFTP, simply delete
the installation folder. Remember, Intel Solaris installations require Java 2
to run JFTP. Others require Java 1.1.7 or later.
| Important UNIX Note: In order to view
files on UNIX systems, be sure to provide the name of your editor application in JFTP's
Preferences dialog. The link to KC Multimedia will only launch a program
"netscape" that must be in the default PATH. We suggest installing JFTP to /usr/local/jftp. Following installation,
create a link in /usr/local/bin to the JFTP executable:
cd /usr/local/bin
ln -s /usr/local/jftp/bin/JFTP jftp
You will find an icon image, jftp.xpm, in your jftp
installation directory. Place this in your desktop's icon folder and use it with a JFTP
desktop shortcut if desired. |
Generic - for OS/2 and UNIX-like
platforms, please see detailed instructions.
| The generic installer should not be used with
Windows or MacOS. We strongly recommend that Unix/Linux users use the UNIX/Linux
installer. JFTP has not been tested on other platforms, and we can only provide some
general guidance on installation . Important
Generic Note: In order to view files on generic systems, be sure to provide the
name of your editor application in JFTP's Preferences dialog.
Since the generic installer does not create a script or
shortcut, you will have to create your own to run JFTP. To do this, place jftp.jar and
swingall.jar (located in <jftp>/lib) in your Java CLASSPATH. Then run JFTP's main
class with your Java executable:
java com.kcmultimedia.filepanel.JFTP
Create a script to perform this and save it in
<jftp>/bin
Create a symbolic link or shortcut to this script in a
folder that is in the PATH. |
