 Does anyone out there use gFTP?

Yes.


 If so, is there a way to customize the windows so that you can see the whole
 file name?

Yes.

 I like to get the latest packages from cooker and it's easiest to just browse
 the site with the 'explorer' type window; my problem is that the window isn't
 wide enough to give me the whole file name, but it does give me useless info
 (to me anyway) like 'user', 'group' and 'attribs'.  The stuff I'm really
 interested in would be 'filename', 'size' and 'date'.

Use you mouse cursor, move to the header line of the column, where it lists the
files' names.  At the right edge of  the file header is a line.  Position mouse
cursor over that, hold down  Left-Click, and drag to to right.  Voila!  Larger
area available for your files' names.

 If there's no way to do this, could someone point me to a graphic ftp client
 that would?

 Thanks so much, Mike

Howdies.

Got a small problem since installing Mandrake 6.1 - my PPP sessions freeze me
out of launching *ANY* new programs!  (D'Oh!)  I can continue to run one, or
several:  already opened programs - BUT !  Can't run anything in addition.  Just
stops.  No error messages, just no action.  Close the ppp, and all programs are
available for launch.

It's GOTTA  be something simple, and stupid ... that I've done, or maybe:  Not
done.

Netscape works fine, both for Web and e-mail.  So does KVirc.I run over a
56K dial-up, on an old Pentium 166, 32 M of ram.

Another annoyance:  somehow, I've got Netscape wanting, trying, DEMANDING to
open rpm downloads (UNLESS I can shift-click to save), as if it were a text file
for display.  (Not very useful, really.)  How to fix?

I'd welcome enlightenment.  :)  Please! :) :)

TIA
