There are 2+ features in builtin FTP client that are not implemented and I am about them almost daily.
Copy files from one FTP server to another ... I know it is implemented using remote transfer but those servers has to support it. My servers doesn't . So I have alway do a copy of files from one server to local host and then copy them to another server. Is it problem to implement it directly into TC? File by file using temp directory. I know, someone can tell it can be problem on slow lines, but a lot of peoples is using FTP on fast local networks. Even if not, until you can cancel transfer, it is still ok.
Compare by contents between file on FTP panel and local file/FTP file ... it is similar, I have to make copy/rename of file from FTP to local drive then I can compare them. (I am comparing the same startup scripts on different servers).
Handle compressed files on FTP as on local...sure, I know it will require to copy those files to local in background, but I have to do it anyway, if I need to know what is inside
...and I even affraid to mention that it could be fine to have implemented File Serch in FTP panel
Crazy ideas? Hm... than at least thank you for readig
you mean TC should keep trying to connect in backgroud? ...like you receive back error message like "too many users", but you want to connect there, so TC should try to connect let's say each 1 min. until connection is established?
anyway there is almost no reaction to my original post...hm, there is probably not as many peoples using FTP in a way as I do (keeping production and test servers in sync)
