Intelligent FTP Version1.5b  README and Release notes

 The "I.F." is an automation tool that helps you transferring files on i'net 
by FTP or HTTP. Its main features are:

Transfer files at your desired time:
You can let "IF" transfer several files that located at different hosts at 
desired time and needn't  monitor the transfer process. This "timed transfer" 
function can free you from tedious waiting and retrying, also saves your 
money and time ! (if you choose transferring at "half-price" time or when
network is not busy.)

"Intelligent" adaptation to your system and error recovery.
With the advanced "Intelligent recording and play back" technique, "I.F." can 
fit in many kinds of TCP/IP environments, including direct connection and 
dial-up connection. As a fully automated solution, "I.F."  has strong error 
recovery functions that are able to handle most common connection problems , 
even some "unexpected" errors.

Working together and easy link-up with your browser
By using the "URL shortcut" floating button, you can easily send net resource 
names (location+filename) from your browser to "I.F.", and add them to "timer 
download list" or get them immediately.

Facilitate using for both new users of Internet and experienced users.
New users can display, change dir, download or upload files very easily with 
command button. Experienced user can take advantage of session window, 
"restart" and "ftp command line" functions to interact with remote server and 
perform advanced operations.
