The FTP-Client

Open FTP-Client by LeftClick on right PanelScrew in ToolPanel, or by Menu: Tools > Inquisitor Mode > FTP-Client

Selections were made by RightClick on the desired File. Another RightClick deselects the file. If a File is an Image (such as "JPG", "BMP", "GIF", or something like that), FIQ will show a miniature PreviewImage (Thumbnail) of that Image; otherwise it will only show a little Icon of each FileType (If PreviewImages are turned on, by menu: Options > Images > Preview in FTPmode).

Like any other FTP-Client you can: copy, move, rename, delete, or even create a new Directory with mkdir (if you have such permissions on remote Server, or local Directory).

LeftClick on a File/Image will open this File/Image in HTML-Window (if the FileType ist supported by FIQ). In the same way you can play Sounds and Videos, such as WAV, MP3, MPG, AVI, and so on.

You can open a FTP-Session by entering the Adress/IP of the desired FTP-Server. UserName and Password can entered in the ToolPanel, but will filled with User/Pwd from FTP-Setup. See below).

In this Example (on the left) you will see that the left Window points to a local Directory called:
"D:/pictures/test/" (Windows). By LeftClick on the "remote" Field in the right Window you can open another "local" Session, which means that you can also copy files between local directorys, like "NortonCommander" (or even "MidnightCommander" on Linux Systems). See Example earlier.

Even in FTP-Mode a "Filter" could set by entering one (or more) Values (seperated by: space, comma, or semicolon) to URL, if "STOP"-Button is pressed by RightClick. Files which contains one of the Filter-Values will NOT displayed. Filter-Reset by entering an Empty URL, and RightClick on "STOP-Button.

But You can also connect to 2 FTP-Servers at the same time, by LeftClicking on the "local"-Button on top of the left Window. In this case it's possible to transfer files between 2 FTP-Servers, were FIQ is in between. You can also copy a local File, while copying files between 2 FTP-Servers. Simply RightClick on the DirectionArrow (indicated above by the green Arrow in ToolPanel that points to the right) shown below:

As you can see, there is an arrow that points to the right AND down (to local), so you can make a copy of all selected files to your local HardDisk while transfering the files to the 2nd FTP-Server (in right Window). LeftClick on the DirectionArrow changes active or passive Mode (indicated by green Background). Activating (clicking) the left or right FTP-Window will change the direction (indicated by the DirectionArrow) for copying files:
a.e. from left to right, or from right to left FTP-Window. The "Sniff"-Button let's you search ("sniff") for a specified File on the remote FTP-Server. FIQ will enter all (allowed) Subdirectories (from the point of the actual directory) on the FTP-Server an search for that File. Wildcards like: "*:jpg" are allowed !
"Convert" let's you convert ImageFiles while copying from one to another location (regardless if local or remote Directory).
With the "Edit"-Button, you can Edit Text, or any ASCII Files like "NotePad", or "kEdit", and "Close" will close the FTP-Session.

Even on Directorys with very much (and very BIG) Images, it might be that FIQ will take some Minutes to create the PreviewImages (Thumbs); but you can speed up time, by activating "Create Previews while Download" from menu: Options > Images. In this case FIQ will store the Preview (Thumbnail) Image from the actual HTML-Page while download the Images (Links) behind that thumbs.
"Volumes" (such as Drive "C:", "D:" and so on) like the example above may only appear on MS-Windows Systems !

FTP-Setup

FTP-Options:
-FTPuser1/2 = FTP Username for FTP Window1/2
-FTPpass1/2 = FTP Password Window 1/2

FTP Proxy-Server:
-Proxy = Adress of FTP-ProxyServer
-Port = Port No. of FTP-ProxyServer
(Not really tested yet; so may not work !)

In Normal (HTML) Mode, Inquisitor indicates each Image by one of the following Icons:

1. File Download OK
2. File is defect, and was not downloaded
3. Selected File
4. Opened Link
5. Image defect

Preview-Options:
-Divide Orig. Size = how much smaller should a FTP-Preview Image (Thumbnail) be. If you have a big Image with a resolution of 800x600 Pixel the Thumbnail-PreviewImage will be 8 times smaller (in this example).
-Divide Thumbs = if you have "Create Preview while Download" turned on in menu: Options > Images, then FIQ will use the Thumbnail Image from the HTML-Page to display as a Thumb in FTP-Mode. This Value indicates how much smaller the Thumbs should displayed in FTP-Mode. In this Example FIQ uses the origninal ThumbnailSize of 1. Example: A Thumb of a HTML-page has a size of 100x80 Pixels. FIQ will use this Value to reduce the size of the Thumbnail by Value (like "Divide Orig Size" but only used for Images that ARE Thumbnails).
-Sorting Order Extension = if turned on, FTP-Window 1/2 will sort each file by its extension, otherwise by Filename.
-Realtime Previews = create FTP-Previews while downloading HTML-Thumbnails. Speed up the FTP-preview creation, while downloading images; but will only work, if the destination directory is not changed manualy; otherwise FIQ will still create the previews, when entering a directory.

So, that's all for now. I hope you understand my (maybe bad) english, and enjoy Frenzy's (great) Inquisitor.
