Ewen Wannop, author of Spectrum, has updated SAFE2, an FTP client for the Apple IIGS. SAFE2 is freeware, and requires GS/OS 6.0.1 and Marinetti.

New features in 2.1.2

Manual download of a file directly from a given path.

Sending and receiving hierarchical directories is now activated. If a directory is highlighted, the entire contents will be sent or received, and any further subdirectories down the chain will also be sent or received.

If you delete a directory from either the home or the away folder, any enclosed hierarchical directories, and their contents will also be deleted.

Optional AppleSingle encoding while uploading is now supported. This preserves file and auxtypes, dates, and resource forks.

Optional automatic decoding of AppleSingle, BinSCII, Binary II, BinHEX 4.0, MacBinary, UUencode, and Base64 (MIME) files is now supported.

Bug fixes in 2.1.2

The ’empty directory’ problem is now fixed. All known hosts now respond correctly.

A number of other bugs have been fixed, and some interface tweaks have been made.
