WHDLoad Download Tool
So, I've been writing a tool to help manage and download Retroplay's WHDLoad archives. It is very much the same as Turran's version except it is a lot more flexible and can do some really useful stuff. Main Features
***Warning*** IMPORTANT! Before you do anything to your existing WHDLoad sets, MAKE A BACKUP!. If you delete everything, TOUGH! Post what happened and I can try to fix the problem. To leave feedback, bugs and suggestions, only use this thread. Please try to make sure that any feedback is reasonable and constructive. Posts on the Commodore Amiga Facebook group and the r/Amiga Reddit will be ignored as they are a PITA to keep on top of. v1.4 Fixes / Updates

I'm going to ask for a backup function JUST IN CASE the latest slave does not work.
It can perhaps just "move" the old slave to backup dir, or ZIP or 7zip it up into a backup file, with directory structure intact to "restore" if possible? Thank you! |

Very nice. Let me know if you want it hosted on the FTP with full access to its directory.
Noticed you called it EAB FTP in the program. Its called TURRAN FTP as we try to distance ourselves from EAB (by request). The donate button (appreciate that) goes to donate towards this forum. I do have a link there are well, but you might donate to the wrong thing if you just set a sum and click donate. The correct link is https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc....gif:NonHosted Last edited by Turran; 21 December 2021 at 17:25. |

Not sure. Only got that error when I couldn't get onto the FTP when it was down or I had another FTP connection running on the same account. Can you get onto the FTP via a program like filezilla?

I can yes. I can even use the old EAB-WHDLoad_Pack_Downloader_x64 tool. The help file says something about a "Dats" folder is that suppose to be local or on the FTP? If its the FTP there is no Dats folder.

It does not give proper error messages returned from the FTP it seems. Make sure you are not already logged in and that the username and password is correct (default ftp/amiga should work, but only for one connection per IP) Last edited by Turran; 21 December 2021 at 17:29. |

Are you using your own account or the ftp/amiga one? |

I'm not sure whether it's fixable without writing a custom FTP procedure which is a bit beyond me at the moment. |

I see. Yeah, that sounds like a pain. I was lucky with my FTP routine in my version in that it grabs the entire login text, so easy to see errors..
I edited my post a few posts up as I found some "wrong" things =) 4 anonymous users downloading from the Retr0play packs right now, so seems to work fine for others (and me). |
