Wrong cd when * is in FTP password

[MVV]

E.g. I'm trying to add hotlist item with command:

Code: Select all

cd ftp://anonymous:alpha*45@192.168.56.101/incoming/src/

Where anonymous is login, alpha*45 is password. TC treats this path not like FTP connection path but like panel filter mask so I get path in current panel like:

Code: Select all

D:\ftp://anonymous:alpha*45@192.168.56.101/incoming/src/

It is great that TC allows to change filter using cd command but in this case it is expected that TC will create FTP connection if path starts with ftp://.

Shouldn't that be:

Code: Select all

cd ftp://anonymous:alpha*45@192.168.56.101/incoming/src/

Note the @ sign.

Of course it is '@' character instead of last ':', its my misprint, corrected.

But problem exists anyway.

I see - unfortunately there is a conflict here, where * is used to find position of filter mask. Any ideas on how to solve this conflict?

Btw, it's a VERY bad idea to store clear text passwords in buttons...

I know that idea is bad, I've just reported a bug that I found accidentally. In that case FTP was on virtual machine and I connected to it from host using virtual network.

I think TC should detect blablabla:// strings in paths since such strings determine protocol used for address (http, ftp, file etc). Now AFAIK TC supports only ftp protocol (and maybe file) so for other protocols TC may show error message or just execute link.

Thanks, fixed in 7.56!

Thanks! Just make sure to append a forward slash to the URL when there is no subdir (in the root), so TC can recognize it correctly.
