Show FTP file/Folder owner

[Vasilich]

Is it possible to see file/folder owner without need of rightclicking->Properties and searching that file in the text list you got (that could be very long)?
Any way of inserting custom column info with this information, like FileZilla, FAR manager and other FTP clients do?

No, sorry - it's currently not possible to use custom columns with f t p.

[Vasilich]

Thanks for fast reply, Christian.
is it planned to implement somewhen in future versions?

Maybe there is someone to add support for custom columns to the sftp plugin developed by ghisler (i.e. fields delivered by stat command). Then Vasilich could use sftp instead of ftp if his server supports sftp.

Is this answer still valid with TC11.01? Is it possible to have a column which shows where a link points to? If not through TC, then is there any plugin which can achieve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

Example: I have a simple FTP connection (from menu Net -> FTP Connect) and I can see these columns:

Code: Select all

Name      Ext Size  Date           Attr
mkdir         <LNK> 04/05/15 00:00 L777

If I Alt+Enter on mkdir then Lister opens and shows all files from current folder but with more details:

Code: Select all

lrwxrwxrwx    1 1005     1005             7 May  4  2015 mkdir -> busybox

So I would like to have a column which shows the "busybox" info...

This could be implemented in ghisler's sftp plugin quite easily I guess...

Well, it is already available for the sftp plugin
Currently just a beta version, but works like a charm.

Unfortunately I can't use the sftp plugin. The board I have, has an old distro, which has a simple ftp server to which I can connect nicely from Total Commander's menu Net -> FTP Connect.

Code: Select all

# ftpd -v
BusyBox v1.16.1 (2014-05-22 20:46:02 CST) multi-call binary.
Usage: ftpd [-wvS] [-t N] [-T N] [DIR]
Anonymous FTP server

I did try sftp but it fails to connect, probably it doesn't support simple ftp communication.

Now 'butter with the fish':
- This thread is about FTP: What does FTP have to do with SFTP?
- SFTP beta: Where and how is the link target displayed (in the long view)?

Regarding the ftp/sftp expressions:
Yes, I know that ftp and sftp are totally different.
I just to reacted on:

Regarding the link:

The link points directly to the post with the download link ...

User "CoolWater" who added the custom columns for permissions, user and group tried to also add a column for the link target. Unfortunately this only worked in "SCP everywhere" mode, where TC just uses ls -la on the server to get the directory list. It didn't work in SFTP mode, because the function libssh2_sftp_readdir_ex does not return the link target. Therefore it's unfortunately not possible to get this information.

With FTP, you may be able so see it when you press Alt+Enter (raw listing), but it depends on the server. You may also need to disable MLSD in the connection configuration.
