README - DRftp Version 1.2.0
WHAT IS DRftp?
DRftp is small library that allows asynchronous communication with ftp-server. There is implemented XS-interface, so you can use this library in Perl-scripts. One script is distributed with this library, it allows more ftp-connections at same time, supports fully automated recursive get/put, automatic restart etc. It may be configured while running with any perl-command or script. The character "D" means "distributed" - you can run simple ftp-clients on other computers, but they are controlled with the main drftp-server. Simple security supported.
LICENSING
DRftp comes with complete free source code. DRftp-library is available under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License, perl-scripts are completely free See COPYING file for details.

BUILDING AND INSTALLING DRftp
In most cases you can just type "make". This will run configure with the default (no) options and then compile everything.
If you haven't gcc as your default C++ compiler, you should change EXTRA_{C,LD}FLAGS in the Makefile.
Since version 1.2.0 you needn't asprintf function (GNU libc), so you can compile it on every system with POSIX and ANSI functions. Also you must have perl installed (5.004m4 works).
INTERNET RESOURCES
Rftp is available on the 'net in a bunch of locations:
