[Suggestion] FTP Client

Post by *Milenco »

Hello,

First of all, I love Total Commander! It's the best peace of software for Windows I have ever seen! Keep up the good work. :)

However, there are a few things missing, in my opinion that is. Especially on the FTP client 'thing'. I'm using TT for about everything to replace Windows Explorer. I'm using TT for about everything to replace Windows Explorer. Except the FTP Client, i'm using FlashFXP for FTP transfer, because (unfortunately)I miss the thing FlashFXP can do in TT:
  • Stats of your FTP traffic (this could also be a great extra to TT in the whole: I'm a statsfreak, and I would love it if I could see how data I move, how long I've worked with TT, etc.).
  • A remember of your queue's (when you shutdown TT while downloading, and you want to continue your queue, you'll have to select everything all over again.).
It would also be cool if I could just minimaze my FTP transfer and continue my work, instead of opening a new TT client.

I surely hope you can consider my suggestions, and you will keep up doing just a great job like this!

Greetings,

Milenco

Edit: I just found out that maybe I didn't search very well :oops: :

Q: Why can't I put a download in the background as when copying?
A:
Because an FTP server only supports a single file transfer through one connection, Total Commander needs to create a new connection for every background transfer. Therefore you need to check the option to download in background in the dialog box which appears before the download starts.

Another thing what just got into my mind: a one-key shortcut (for example F9) to minimaze TT to the tray.

You can force the background transfer by default using some INI entries:
For local file copy :
WINCMD.INI [Configuration] AlwaysCopyInBackground=1

For FTP copy:
WCX_FTP.INI [General] FtpInBackground=1

Yep, agree with you. Actually there are some other things I want to see in BTM.
BTW, why "TT"? AFAIK it is "TC" :).[/face]

Thanks! Is there a references page for all these commands?
