How do you Browse a remote Host?
 
I can't find a write up on how to use the Browse Remote Host under the Transfer cmd. I have found u have to select a search IP to get it enabled but It gives me a error of :Failed to Launch Browser com.apple.mrj.macros.toolbox.MacOSError http://forums.gnutelliums.com/frown.giferror.-43) . What am I doing wrong?

It seems to me this is a real bug (I have the same problem) and therefore to be removed in the next version. If this is so there is hardly anything you can do about it.

Will Phex ever be able to list all files on a specific remote host, like some clients can? That's useful if you find a file you want on a site and it's giving you a very fast download speed, and you want to check out what else they may have of interest you could grab so quickly...

Well....

Browsing remote hosts with a real multi-platform-client isnīt so easy:

Phex has to try to start your browser, whatever browser this might be and whatever operating system this might be. As you can clearly see there are innumerably combinations ot browsers and OSs. To get it done anyway we implemented an external java-class that wil open the right browser on most systems, but of course it simply canīt function on all of them. And as Mac OSx is so new the class doesnīt seem to support it yet. To really support browsing on ALL platforms we would have to integrate a complete browser into Phex directly, but if I think about how complicated this would be I start to feel slightly dizzy. Perhaps we will do it anyway, but I wouldnīt expect it too soon.

how can clients browse a host?
 
is there a way specified in the gnutella protocol.

afaik you can only ask the net to find something (and the other host send back only the matching results), or you can download from a specific host, if you know the filename and it's id (which came with the response).

therefore the question: how can i get the full list of files on a host?

As far as I know, some clients support HTTP browsing. So you can use MSIE or Netscape to view the content (when running phex try this 127.0.0.1:6346 if your port is 6346), but because so many people leech a lot (search engines were allowing normal web users who dont share anything leech access) they make it option and so far, from my experience, most hosts turn it off. The only way to find out what content they have available is threw normal gnutella searchs.
