XTEXT now supports an alternate method of returning updated text to the server, which does not require FTP. This new method works via the keyboard channel and currently only works when the destination is a string buffer (i.e. TXFF_FILE flag is NOT set in the txc'docfmt'dst field).
The primary motivation for this non-FTP mechanism is to deal with servers that do not have FTP support configured, or have it configured in a mode that prevents access to the directories where A-Shell lives on the server. (This is quite common with Windows servers.) It is also somewhat more efficient when editing small files (which would be consistent with the use of string buffer mode rather than file mode.)
Note that this requires an update of ASHW32 on both sides.
This mode is now automatic with Windows servers (ATS), but you can also force it for UNIX servers by setting the new flag TXFF_RAWBUF (&h0400) in the txc'docfmt'dst field.
