Delphi Special Purpose FTP Client
Bid Request Id: 33063

Description:
I need an FTP client in Delphi 5 that will actually used by NEWBIE'S to install our script products on web sites - does not have to be a full blown FTP program.
It has to be able to (given the ftp password and domain name by the user):
>> convert the domain to an IP (if the domain address doesn't work).
>> login
>> transfer files (from a list) to or from
>> determine if the host is NT or some flavor of Unix
>> chmod the files (on Unix server)
>> be able to search the directories on the web site server and locate specific files and directories - i.e., locate the path to the cgi-bin, the index.htm files, the _private directory, etc.
>> locate the system path to Perl (if perl is there on the system),
>> locate the system path to certain Perl directories
>> locate the system path the system Path to PHP,
etc.
[same kind of stuff you can do manually with programs like WSftp]
It must create an INI file on the local PC and on the host with that information in it (for use the next time).
I have a php script (not ours, someone else's) that does all this, but newbie's don't know enough to install the script that checks the system and tells them how to install scripts. Need the Delphi program to check the same things the script does.
Also would like the Delphi program to be able to upload to the web site, and run (in a browser window, I would assume), a script file (perl or php or javascript) or html file. (primarily for testing)
The script is attached.
The interface will be single screen form, SDI, buttons on left, no system menu, no caption bar. The form background will be some image. Use notebook pages or page control to display different things to the right(i.e., no popup forms).
It must look normal in 800x600 and 1024x768 screen formats, both normal and Large fonts.
Any third party controls you would like to use is fine - we own most of them. (use trial versions for testing).
Permissable to use <a href="HTTP">HTTP</a> to accomplish some of this.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done, all images, etc.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:
All versions of windows (TESTED!)
scrip running ability must be compaible with both Netscape and IE browsers (4.x and above).
work with both NT and Unix/Linux servers running ftp.
Must be 100% finished and received by buyer on:
Nov 14, 2002 EDT
Deadline legal notes: All times are expressed in the time zone of the site EDT (UT - 5). If the buyer omitted a time, then the deadline is 11:59:59 PM EDT on the indicated date.
Special Conditions / Other:

Hello.
The application you require can be written without any problem in Delphi. Having extensive experience with both Delphi and NT/Linux network protocols (including FTP and HTTP) I can implement all the required functionality. Please look at my resume for background information.
If required, I can create and send you a sample draft of the interface.
Estimated time frame shall be less than three weeks, but if time is an issue it can be coded in just a few days. You shall receive full commented Delphi source and complete installation kit for your application.
If you have any questions and/or comments at this point please don&'t hesitate to ask. The bid amount can also be negotiated, but at present, based on how you created the auction, $500 is the only allowed value.
Looking forward to your comments,
Catalin IONESCU

Hello.
Attached you will find the sample draft of the interface I was mentioning in my previous post. It was built using your general guidelines, but is not complete. It is only meant as a sample. The actual program will be built to exactly match your specifications.
Looking forward to your comments,

Hello Joe.
Did you have the chance to look over the interface I sent you? Did you like it?
I looked at your notice and find no problem in implementing file upload/download/chmod based on a local database. I also downloaded SciSoft's Topaz trial and found no problem using it to access dBase files.
Please also note that my bid amount is around $200 to reflect what I believe to be a fair cost for your project.
Looking forward to your comments,

Hello.
I changed by bid to reflect what I believe to be a fair cost for implementing your project.
As already mentioned, I will create the client in Delphi and use Topaz for file and directory settings.
