RNOXfer is a graphical multipurpose file transfer client with support for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP protocols.

With the recent effort of porting AmiSSL on AROS and the new hURL plugin for Hollywood, it might be possible to make RNOXfer to work on AROS (x86) too. I've now created an AROS version to try, but I only made some minimal testing with it under emulation, so I'm hoping for feedback on your findings on native setups etc. I guess there are many incompatibilities on the GUI with Zune, and graphical buttons aren't probably working (I think Zune doesn't support images in text objects), but let me know if I'm wrong (I have a bit outdated AROS setup).

So, let me know what doesn't work and let's see if I can create any work-arounds.

Here's a beta version, but please don't upload it to any file repositories yet: Download

On Aros 68k the OS3 version works in my distribution. And I use Zune. I have f.e. attached Aminet with it and downloaded a file to test it. Without problems.

Does it work if you enable Graphical Buttons from the Settings?

jPV I tested RNOXfer on AROS One with "VMwarePlayer" and it works very well, tried connecting on at the preinstalled link and it worked fine, also tried downloading some archives, all perfect (if screenshots).

Question, how do you save links ? , can LHA, ZIP etc. archives be associated with a tool ?

Found a problem with JPG images, if I double click I have a guru, no promlems with other types images, successfully tested PNG and BMP.

To verify that the problem was on the Hollywood Plugin, I tried a Viewer that makes use of Hollywood and had no problem viewing JPG images

Yes, in the pull-down menu Settings -> Settings... -> General -> Miscellaneous -> Graphical buttons

jPV, I forgot Graphical Buttons don't work, RNOXfer requires MUI 4 or higher, and does not salil Buttons setting.

Question, how do you save links ?
In the Server List window, click the Add button to add the current server info as a new server in the list, or click the New button to create a new empty server in the list. To save the list, select "Settings -> Save" from the pull-down menu. There's a PDF manual included in the archive too.

Not currently in the program... you can only define one tool to open all files in "Settings -> General -> External programs -> Viewer". In MorphOS you can use the Open command which will then use Ambient's definitions for all file types (LhA and Zip will then be opened as defined in Ambient mimetypes), and in OS4 WBRun does the same with DefIcons. Does AROS have WBRun/DefIcons or similar solution? I just turned off my PC and can't check right now :) Anyway, the Viewer defaults to Multiview on other platforms, but if there's a suitable command in AROS, I can make it default to that.

I have a better "filetype" feature in my to-do list, but I haven't implemented that yet.. and I have such many new features in this version that I don't know if I dare to do anything more at this point before seeing how they work. But in the future I'll provide a way to create own definitions for different file types.

Double-clicking a file doesn't use Hollywood at all, it will use the external viewer defined in the Settings. By default setting in AROS, it'll try to view the image with SYS:Utilities/Multiview. Does the same image crash if you open it directly in Multiview?

I tried adding new and saving, but nothing is saved

AROS One has WBRun and all file types are associated with a Def_Icon, I have created many Datatype descriptors that do not exist on MOS and OS4, and AROS One recognizes many types of audio, video and many other file formats, and each has a custom icon with custom tool.

JPG images display them fine with Multiview, no problem

Found a serious problem, when I exit RNOXfer, even if I do not perform any operation, if I click on any Volume Icons (more frequently with Disk Ram) on Wanderer I get a GURU


For confirmation I will do some tests on a clean reference Build !

Ok now it works the links are saved correctly, but from the menu I see only one, where am I wrong ?

By WBRUN, you mean I have to run RNOXfer from a script with WBRUN? tried it doesn't change anything !

Did it create ENVARC:Hollywood/com.wmhost.jpv.rnoxfer file and do you see the server in it?

Is this only AROS One feature or does all AROS distributions and basic installations come with it? I'll have to think all options when deciding the default settings.

But in your case you can change the Viewer setting to WBRun and it should work with all file types then.

Weird... well, we need more testing.

I think that there might be some issues with AmiSSL port... when I tried it, AmiSSL crashed with some internal error with FTPS sites, but then suddenly it started working. Maybe there's some memory handling issue in it...

Those popup button servers are cached from the current session, they're not related to Server List.

No, just configure the "Settings -> General -> Viewer" to "C:WBRun" and it should open double-clicked files like clicked from the desktop then.

Does the JPEG work now with WBRun?
