I can't edit files directly on the FTP server

[m1000]

Hi,

When I edit any file on the FTP it's saving edited file on my PC. I did't change anything in settings.

FTP wasn't built for online editing and programs that emulate online ftp editing have to piggyback the protocol, which causes all sorts of problems, mostly unsuccessful session reconnections. My advice would be to download the file(s), edit it locally and re-upload it. Old school FTP.

Actually this is supported now in TC 8.5 beta! If you save a file, TC will automatically re-upload it to the server when it detects the change. You will be asked the first time you edit a file whether you want to enable this or not.

When I edit .htaccess file on the FTP server it's saving file inside AppData\Local\Temp ... instead on FTP server.

I'm working with Total Comander for 10 years and it always saved edited files on FTP but since yesteday it's saving all files inside AppData\Local\Temp on my PC. Why?

I don't think so.

TC versions previous to the current beta re-upload the file when it is changed and you close the editor.

So why it's not working? Filezilla works so it's not a server issue.

Maybe your editor never really closes (continues to run in the background in hidden form)?

When I'm closing editor, the Windows is asking:

Would you save changes in the file
c:\Users\MM\AppData\Local\Temp...\.htaccess

so I click on SAVE, and nothing happens, the following folder is empty:

C:\Users\MM\AppData\Local\Temp\_tc

I use 64-bit total commander.

In the logs I see:

Code: Select all

Copied (2013-10-25 12:17:26) ftp://ftp.....htaccess -> C:\Users\MM\AppData\Local\Temp\_tc\.htaccess 296 bytes

TC automatically (8.5 by choice) saves the edited file on the server and deletes the temporary file on the local drive.

[m1000]

It's working when I run TC as an administrator.

[petermad]

Is it only .htaccess that this applies to, or can you edit other files whithout a leading dot without running TC as Admin?

[m1000]

It doesn't work with all files like .php, .html. Filezilla is working without any problems.

Try this: Install the latest TC 8.5 beta, then go to menu
Configuration - Options - Viewer/Editor and check the option "Automatically re-upload...".

Now it's working. Thanks.
