Connecting to FTP-account using commanline parameters ?

[Corkie]

Hello,

Is it possible to start TotalCommander using commandline parameters and make a FTP-connection at startup ? What I want to do is invoke TC from a filtering rule in my mailprogram (i.e. Pegasus 4.02).
So it should be something like c:/wincmd/totalcmd.exe d:\data ?
And on the questionmark the thing that activates the ftp-account I want to start......

Guess not ?

It is. This command line opens Commander with FTP address specified in the left panel:

totalcmd.exe /L=ftp://username:password@servername:portnumber/path

Or you can set it as default application for FTP links.[/face]

Hello
I want to run ftp connection in total commander from my c# app. I tried this parametr: "L=ftp://username:password@192.168.133.11:21/" and it just run TCMD in default. Etc. parameter "P=R" is working. Any ideas?

It should have a slash at the start:
c:\path\totalcmd.exe "/L=ftp://username:password@192.168.133.11:21/"

The following works too, but only for the left panel:
c:\path\totalcmd.exe FTPOPEN:Connection_name

I found in history that there are stored my ftp connection. It will not connect to ftp in shareware version. In full its working. It is bug or not? Or is it possible in shareware version? Thanks for respond.

I can confirm the issue. I discovered it quite some time ago, and in my optinion it's a (small) bug. However, if you really need to connect to FTP with command line parameters you're most probably using TC regularly, so it's not a big deal. On the other hand, it may irritate users, since this feature is mentioned in the help file ...

In the end it's up to Ghisler whether it's fixed or not.

Indeed it's not possible to connect in the Shareware version this way because the 1-2-3 confirmation screen interferes with the FTP login, sorry.

I think it would be a good idea to mention this shareware "restriction" in the help file.
