Yoda Client v1.0.0 Author: Ben Stephens License: GPL

Yoda Client is a simplified FTP for checking whether files exist on a hardcoded FTP host. It provides read access only and does not currently allow files to be downloaded. It's intended only for those users who need to see whether a file exists or not.

Requirements:

• Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0
• edtFTPnet/Free - Enterprise Distributed Technologies - Licensed under LGPL

Installation Instructions: Simply copy the executable and edtFTPnet.dll to any Directory and run the executable.

Possible Improvements:

• Handle server side disconnections better by automatically reconnecting upon user input or providing the user with a connect/disconnect option.
• Change the path display label to a textbox to allow path changes via keyboard input.

Known Bugs:

• Once the FTP connection has been lost the program must be restarted to reconnect.

Credits:

• Big thanks to Enterprise Data Technologies for providing eftFTP/Free under the LGPL. This project would have been much more than a bit of fun on the weekend had there not been such a good API available with a suitable license. It simply wouldn't have happened at all.
• Also thanks to Paul Ingles for posting IconListManager on codeproject.com. His example made implementing icons so much easier even though the code did require a few changes and optimisation, but with no licensing at all I don't think we can complain.
• And finally the good people at http://dryicons.com for hosting a great range of icons. The up arrow icon used in this program came from the Aesthetica package using the free license.

Notes:

• Full copies of each of the licenses can be found in the Legal directory.
