WS Archie -- Although many Gopher sites and some
World Wide Web sites now include Archie services, WS Archie remains the
quickest and easiest way to search for files located on anonymous
FTP sites. This client comes pre-configured with a large list of
common archie servers located throughout the world. Users can
use these servers to search for any file available in the archie
servers' index. Successful results will list the file's path, date, and
size. Also, WS Archie can be configured with WS-FTP to
automatically retrieve located files on command. WS Archie is now
available in both 16- and 32-bit versions; however, the 32-bit
version is still in alpha release and does not contain all the features
found in the 16-bit release...yet.
Pros: Built-in list of archie servers; quick and easy; can work with
WS-FTP to retrieve files
Cons: Many anonymous FTP sites are not included in most Archie
servers' indexes
New: Filter using path and matches and retrieve using web browser
options added, more
Version Reviewed: 3.x - 1.1. 95 - Alpha 96.04.29
