Usage:

There is only one thing for you to use as such, the configuration window.



This window can be accessed in 2 ways:

This window allows you to change the following settings:

• Language: The language to use for the configuration window
  
• Server window:
  • Server: FTP hostname (e.g. ftp.example.com)
    
  • Port: FTP server port number (default is 21)
    
  • Directory: Remote directory to store the files in (defaults to /public_html/)
    
  • "Server requires login": Check this if your FTP server requires a a username/password combination.
    
  • Username + Password: Username and password to be used for logging in to the FTP server
    
  • File Settings: Select which files to upload and what to call them.
• Events: Allows you to choose when and when not to upload the files
  
• Timer: Allows you to upload the files every x minutes
  
• Toast: Allows you to enable/disable the toast that shows when you upload the files

If you want to manually force an update go to Status2FTP -> Upload Now in the Plus! Toolbar menu, or type /ftpupload in a conversation window.

Changelog:

Version 2.0.3

• New Language: Spanish

Version 2.0.2

• New Language: German
  
• New Language: Dutch

Version 2.0.1

• Fixed: LastUpdate wasnt updated at all when you uploaded, only on signin (d'oh )
  
• New Language: French
  
• Now uses MP!L's personalized status as <Status> in the uploaded xml file

Version 2.0.0

• Everything made from scratch
  
• New config window layout.. again.
  
• Everything can now be translated by creating a copy of Languages\Lang_English.ini and translating all the variables in it (NOTE: do not change the variable names as this will break the script). I will add the translations to the download as people start translating (use the contact page on the website to send me translation files)
  
• Timer mode and event mode can now both be used simultaneously.
  
• Commands have changed to make them easier to remember:
  
  • /s2ftpconfig is now /ftpconfig
    
  • /s2ftpforceupload is now /ftpupload

Version 1.5

• All internet connections used for uploading are now closed when theyre no longer needed.

Version 1.4

• Added <LastUpdate> to details.xml (contains unix timestamp of upload time)
  
• Added ability to choose which files to upload, and to rename them.
  
• Added "Timer Mode". This allows you to set the files to upload every x minutes instead of on events.
  
• Fixed error when user doesnt have a DP set.

Version 1.3:

• All information stored in details.xml is now stored as CDATA for proper unicode support.

Version 1.2:

• New event setting added: "Show a toast popup when uploading files" (note: this will still make Messenger freeze while its uploading, this is unavoidable without using an external dll for the uploading because JScript doesnt support multithreading)
  
• Added <CleanUsername> and <CleanPSM> for people who want the names without formatting codes.

Version 1.1:

• New config window layout
  
• Color scheme now adapts better to the WLM color scheme.

Enjoy!

Mm. I saw it before - seems a bit boring

is it only supposed to upload an xml file & a png? If so, how could I turn this into a sig for a forum or something?

Kool. I like it

I'll look into adding this for MSIG... should be a simple matter of asking the user for the address of their xml file...

I like this extension... however, it could do with an option to turn off the Toast popup as I have a script to update my "Personal Message" from my music played, and every 4mins or so a toast message pops up

Yeah, I found the toasts excessive, easy to disable in the code, but an option would be welcome.

Yep, a simple case of adding // to the code - but I'm sure an option would be better.

maybe adapt it a little more too cause atm mcafee dosnt like letting it load lol

i have run it without mcafee on and i like what it does. i have also made it into a sig for my status.

just annoying that mcaffee dosnt like it cause it detects it as malicuous scriptware or something like that,

I had to allow Norton Internet Security to run the script because it makes use of the File System Object, but other than that it works great
