  • SCP
About WinOnMacs :

There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.

Tel-FTP for macOS High Sierra has been released

Wine Reviews released Telnet FTP for MacOS High Sierra today. Tel-FTP is our initial release, we now have full support for macOS High Sierra.

About FTP

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network.

FTP is built on a client-server model architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.[1] FTP users may authenticate themselves with a clear-text sign-in protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.

About Telnet

Telnet is a protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional interactive text-oriented communication facility using a virtual terminal connection. User data is interspersed in-band with Telnet control information in an 8-bit byte oriented data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP).

Supported Protocols:
  • Telnet
  • FTP
About Wine Reviews:

There is a multitude of software developed only for the Windows operating system and even when software vendors port their applications to another platform, generally it lacks features that the Windows version contains. The only solution these developers face is to have access to both systems for testing which leads to increased infrastructure demands, and wasted project resources. Our goal is to have native ports of essential Windows tools and applications made available for MacOS users.

Version 1.0.0 New Features:
  • Native FTP Support
  • Native Telnet Support
We now use FastSpring as our preferred storefront, you can pay with Credit / Debit Cards, PayPal, Amazon payments, Wire Transfer etc. etc. This store is very secure, simple and fast.

Putty brings Telnet and FTP support back to macOS High Sierra

With the release of macOS 10.13 High Sierra Apple has decided to remove basic Telnet and FTP support from their flagship operating system, mainly due to security concerns. While reading over some forum post I came across post like this one.

"Apple in all their "infinite" wisdom has decided to remove Telnet and FTP from their command line tools. Now this is so brain dead, I can't believe it! I read a few forums where people were like, "Well use SSH and SFTP instead. Telnet is not secure." Who the F**K are you to tell me what tool to use? I work with devices every day that have nothing but telnet and don't have SSH on them! Apple has basically decided to screw developers and cripple their Unix."

Well it's not the end of the world you know, their are other solutions to bring these basic tools back to your Mac. One of the easiest and simplest solutions is to spend $19.95 and purchase a PuTTY for Mac license. PuTTY has support for SSH, FTP, SFTP, Telnet, rlogin and more.

The WineHQ Wine stable release 3.0.0 is now available for Linux and Mac

The Wine team is proud to announce that the stable release Wine 3.0 is now available for Linux and macOS.

This release represents a year of development effort and over 6,000 individual changes. It contains a large number of improvements that are listed in the release notes. The main highlights are:
  • Direct3D 10 and 11 support.
  • The Direct3D command stream.
  • The Android graphics driver.
  • Improved DirectWrite and Direct2D support.
Once again, because of the annual release schedule, a number of features that are being worked on have been deferred to the next development cycle. This includes in particular Direct3D 12 and Vulkan support, as well as OpenGL ES support to enable Direct3D on Android.
The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.


What's new in Wine 3.0

*** Direct3D

- A significant number of Direct3D 10 and 11 features are implemented in
  this release, including:
  - Compute shaders.
  - Hull and domain (tessellation) shaders.
  - Stream output.
  - Format capability queries.
  - A large number of shader model 4 and 5 shader instructions.
  - Shader model 4 and 5 interpolation modifiers.
  - Shader model 4 and 5 clip and cull distances.
  - Indirect draws and indirect compute dispatch.
  - Structured buffers.
  - Byte addressable buffers.
  - Append and consume buffers.
  - Unordered access view counters.
  - Cube-map arrays.
  - Layered rendering to 3-dimensional textures and texture arrays.
  - Mip-map generation.
  - Conservative depth output.
  - Type-less (sub)resource copies.
  - Depth bias.

- The multi-threaded command stream feature serializes Direct3D rendering
  commands from different threads into a single rendering thread. Its main
  purpose in this release is rendering correctness, but the feature also
  provides opportunities for future performance improvements. This feature
  is disabled by default.

- Support for OpenGL core contexts in Direct3D is improved, to the point
  that core contexts are used by default for Direct3D 10 and 11
  applications on AMD and Intel graphics cards. As a result, users of those
  graphics cards in combination with Mesa OpenGL drivers should no longer
  need to set the "MaxVersionGL" registry key to enable Direct3D 10 and 11
  support.

- The Direct3D graphics card database recognizes more graphics cards.

- New HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry key:
  - "csmt" (REG_DWORD)
    Enable (0x1) or disable (0x0, default) the multi-threaded command
    stream feature described above.

- Deprecated HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "StrictDrawOrdering"
    This has been superseded by the multi-threaded command stream feature.
  - "OffscreenRenderingMode"
    The "fbo" setting is the only remaining supported value. The
    "backbuffer" setting, while still available, is no longer supported.

- Removed HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D registry keys:
  - "AlwaysOffscreen"
    This is always enabled in this release.
  - "MultiSampling"
    Use the "SampleCount" (REG_DWORD) setting to force a specific
    multi-sample anti-aliasing sample count for swapchain render targets
    instead.


*** Graphics

- Drawing outlines of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- Direct2D linear and radial gradient brushes are implemented.

- Direct2D compatibility with GDI is implemented.

- Bounds computation of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- Simplification of Direct2D geometry objects is implemented.

- The OpenGL extension list is updated to OpenGL version 4.6.

- The system GLU library is only needed when the Nurbs renderer is used,
  all other GLU functions are implemented internally.

- Metafile playback in GdiPlus supports most of the GdiPlus-specific
  metafile record types, in addition to the standard metafile records.

- GdiPlus graphics operations take the GDI transform into account.

- Encoding image formats with a palette is supported in WindowsCodecs.


*** Android

- Wine can be built as an APK package and behaves like a proper Android
  application.

- A full graphics driver is implemented. Because of restrictions of the
  Android window management API, only full screen desktop mode is
  supported.

- A full audio driver is implemented.

- OpenGL is supported, but it's limited to the OpenGL ES API that is
  available on Android.

- Direct3D is not supported yet, because it cannot run on top of OpenGL ES
  at this point. This will be addressed during the next development cycle.


*** Kernel

- The default Windows version is set to Windows 7.

- The full semantics of named pipes are implemented, including message-mode
  pipes.

- Position Independent Executables are supported, both for the Wine binary
  itself and also when starting external binaries.

- Serial and parallel port devices are created automatically, with the
  corresponding symlinks in the dosdevices directory. The detected ports
  can be overridden through the HKLM\Software\Wine\Ports key.

- Safe DLL search mode is implemented. It is enabled by default, and can be
