[BUG]: FTP and multiple tabs

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[BUG]: FTP and multiple tabs

Post by *wanderer »

Connect to an FTP server. When the connection process finishes, create a new tab on the FTP connection panel. Then press disconnect. You now have two tabs, one (the active) probably pointing to C: and the other is still pointing to the connection you had opened. If you activate it, TC displays the "connect" window, freezes for half-a-minute and then it shows a "host not found" error.

I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do here but the current behavior does not feel very good. Perhaps it would be better to display a "connection lost, reconnect" message or automatically close all tabs associated to this connection or ask the user what to do.

Normally using latest TC on:
x32: WinXPx32 SP3
x64: Clients/Servers from Win7 to Win11 and Win2K12Srv to Win2K22Srv, mainly Win10 though.

TC stores only the URL of the connection, not any specific connection settings like firewall or so. Therefore you will only be able to reconnect this way when you can connect directly without any firewall or other special settings. Currently there is no way to change this behaviour, sorry.

Well, IMHO this behavior is not very "professional" (it might be better if TC could perhaps automatically close all tabs associated with this connection) but this thing is not that serious anyway...
