I think support for FTP, especially in the initial downlaod client menu for TCP-based nodes should be fully implemented. I have requested this feature when TCP-IP support was implemented into TeleFinder, and still see the need for it now.

I recently had this request made also. Some of our clients want to be able to use a ftp client to access the bbs to send and receive files.

A more urgent need is to change the password feature in User Manager slightly. We want to convert all of our Internet email to Telefinder, but our director of Information Services has a problem with it because it is easy to view passwords in usermanager. Eventhough mailboxes would still be accessible via the harddrive, blocking out passwords from even the sysop would be helpful.

I do not want access to how my clients set up their passwords. Many people use the same password on multiple servers. I want to keep the ability to change the password though.

I'm pleased that our adminstration agrees it is worthwhile to upgrade Telefinder to an unlimited node license. We are also going to purchase the Mail Plugin for Highlander.
