Apples/oranges. I can upload what I want with WS_FTP95. I cannot do what I
want to do with Win95. Now, do you know the answer or are you only capable
of making snide comments?

The point I believe that RA was making is that Windows 95 is an old and
antiquated OS that MS doesn't even support anymore. The world of technology
has come a long way since then and people need to keep up. WS_FTP95 falls in
the same realm. Keep up with technology, or you may get left behind.
I once knew of a group that worked for a company that I worked for that had
an application that worked with a very old versions of Oracle and DOS. Many
years passed and they refused to upgrade their applications as technology
advanced. It finally came to a point that it was almost impossible to
migrate to a current version, and a large chunk of their data was lost.
Bottom line: It should probably be time to move on.

What's that got to do with WS_FTP? It works fine on my XP Pro now and worked
fine on 95, 98, 98SE, W2k and Me.
Key word: "may". Do you know???
Another key word: "probably". Do you know???
Um, the "pro" is not free. I don't see any free programs there, do you? The
one I have is. Do you know the answer to my question or can you merely post
an essay on computer technology that *doesn't* answer the question. A simple
yes or no will do.
I am not concerned about losing data as WS_FTP 95 only keeps my login and
password, no other data. The data is both on my D drive and on my host
server, and not kept by WS_FTP.

In my opinion, YES you will be left behind at some point if you continue to
hold on to antiquated technology.
Again, you insist on using only antiquated technology, and not move up from
time to time, you will be left behind!
Things in this world cost. You should not expect everything to be free!

I don't. Are you saying that freeware is a bad thing? If so, when will you
be removing your AdAware, Spybot, Spywareblaster, etc.? Do you plan to send
MS a check for SP2 so that you can feel better about your "world"?
Why couldn't you just answer the question? And, if you didn't know the
answer, why did you respond to the post, other than using the opportunity to
lamely try to put me down and expouse your thoughts on new technology and
that a lot of things in this world are not free?

The link you posted includes a download link for SP2 for installation on
multiple computers over a network. It is a huge file -- 272 MB. The link
says that users of a single computer should not install this version, but
wait for a smaller download taylored for single computers.
I have a single computer, but I also have a blazing fast broadband
connection that can download this 272 MB file in minutes. Is the problem
here merely the size of the download, or is the problem also the network
components presumably included in this version? In other words, other than
having to download a bigger file, what would be the downside for me of
installing this version of SP2 on a single computer instead of waiting until
August 16 or whatever?

Obviously since you are worried that WS_FTP95 will work or not after SP2,
you are already aware that your application is old and quickly becoming
antiquated. I only point out to you that many people who drag their feet in
moving to newer applications frequently become disappointed when suddenly
their application does not work, and then they start pointing at other
people and companies and blame them for their own problem. I have seen this
happen before, and I know it will happen again! Hopefully the next person
will not be you!

I'm not worried anymore. Someone who knew was nice enough to answer my
question rather than giving me a sermon and telling me things I already
know:
If it stops working for some reason, I'll investigate other options. Until
then, I will use it and be happy about doing so, thank you very much.

There is no downside in using this version of SP2 on a single computer,
it will not install any additional components compared to the Web
Express update that will be available later on.
An upside is that you can burn it to a CD and use it on other computers
as well

I did not mean it as a snide comment and I am sorry it appeared that way. I
should have explained. Johnny Lingo's interpretation was correct. I am
having a very difficult time with trying to get my sister up to speed so
that she can use XP well and safely. She prefers to stay with an OS that she
is familiar with and she doesn't want to deal with patches or learn about
preventing spyware or other nasties. She needs an idiot proof machine with
all the bells and whistles. I am giving her an Etch-a-Sketch for Christmas.

P.S. I still don't believe that SP2 is a vast Microsoft conspiracy to screw
up the world's computer systems. Having some programs that don't work after
a major OS update is not at all unusual, and is one of the prices we pay for
using computers. If you are worried about this, wait to install. If you have
a number of computers to maintain, certainly wait until the fixes, if any
are in place, then install. If you can afford to risk that some programs
might not work as advertised or not at all, dive in.

Got that with Google for IE and Mozilla has it integrated in the browser.
My Sygate is better.
Another thing to disable ...
Wow! Just curious, what does that do for me?
Another thing to disable ..
As well as Spybot, Search and Destroy, Spywareblaster and Spywareguard?
Another thing to disable.
What a waste of time.
Whoa, something I don't already have! What does that do for me?
Should have never been put in XP to begin with. If I want a messenger
program, I know where to get them.
Considering how expensive WI-FI is at present, so what?
That's it?
Can you tell me if all my programs and devices will work after I download

Tony,
The benefits of SP2 are as follows:
* Pop-up ads blocked
* Revamped firewall on by default
* Outlook Express, Internet Explorer and Windows Messenger warn about
attachments
* Origins of downloaded files logged
* Web graphics in e-mail no longer loaded by default
* Some spyware blocked
* Users regularly reminded about Windows Updates
* Security Centre brings together information about anti-virus, updates and
firewall
* Protection against buffer over-runs
* Windows Messenger Service turned off by default
* New WI-FI setup Wizard
* etc etc
* etc etc
Is there anything else you want to know about SP2? Incidentlly, if you want
autoupdate for your system then it is anytime today 18/08/2004.
SP2 is with us and so we should [all] make use of it.
Best regards,

Wow from SP2 to a tirade about the Taliban quite a jump! My computer was very secure before SP2 I do not need MS to do my work for me, as for future "enhancements" we will have to see if they are really worth it.
Testy
Testy,
The article you refer to says:
"Some programs seem to stop ......"
It does not say definitely that there are problems. It is the perception of sceptic like yourself. In any case, what are you going to do now that SP2 is here and future security enhancements will depend on SP2 preinstalled. Surely, it is time to accomodate SP2 if you want to progress in the 21st century. Taliban tried to live in their own small world and look what a fine mess they are in!! They don't even have electric shavers. No wonder men in Afghanistan have dirty beards growing in unusual places!! I feel pity on their women to put up with dirty men!!
I have just heard that the City of Munich will now not migrate its desktop to Linux because the TCO is higher using Linux. So Windows has won here again.
