FTP upload from list

[undcon]

1st - welcome me to the forum
Im new here but im not new to Total Commander(Windows Commander)

Here is my subject...

One thing i miss is the option to FTP upload from list
(like the FTP download from list, but reversed traffic)

here is an example of the ftplist.txt as it is today

ftp://user@ftpserver.net/Games/HL2/tunnels.avi -> C:\games\HL2\tunnels.avi


the upload file should look like this

C:\games\HL2\tunnels.avi -> ftp://user@ftpserver.net/Games/HL2/tunnels.avi




I havent seen it in earlier versions and i havent seen it in the latest either so

Is it possible or havent anybody thought of it ?

I did a search in the forum here but no hits came up related to this

The correct syntax is:

put:C:\games\HL2\tunnels.avi -> ftp://user@ftpserver.net/Games/HL2/tunnels.avi

Yes it is Ghisler, thx for correcting that

my question is still hot, is it possible with FTP upload from file ?

[sqa_wizard]

is it possible with FTP upload from file ?

Yes, if you create a file with entries according to the correct syntax:

The correct syntax is:

put:C:\games\HL2\tunnels.avi -> ftp://user@ftpserver.net/Games/HL2/tunnels.avi

Thx sga_wizard

so if i add PUT in front of everything in ftplist.txt it will upload the files OK



then i only need the Upload from file in the Net menu...

in totalcmd.inc i find:

cm_ftpdownloadlist=558;Download files in download list


566 is next free number and i added

cm_ftpuploadlist=566;Upload files in upload list



I added this line to WCMD_ENG.MNU
(under POPUP "&Net")

MENUITEM "FTP Upload From List", 566

But i get "Function not implemented" when i try to use my new Upload from list in Net menu

IF i use a "Put-modified" ftp_upload_list and the "Download from list" command in Net menu i get the error:

"Error Downloading File"



So i guess i didnt do everything i should and the "Put-modification" didnt work either

need more help plz

(a walkthru might do the trick, and/or a new cmd for future releases)

[sqa_wizard]

566 is next free number and i added

cm_ftpuploadlist=566;Upload files in upload list

You are kidding, right ?

You cannot add a new internal command to TC (that up to Christian)

All you can do is to use existing commands like:
MENUITEM "FTP Upload From List", 568

... with a "Put-modified" list.

cm_ftpdownloadlist will not only download files, it will also upload files if you use the above syntax. It will even copy and move files, when you use prefix copy: and move: !

i cannot get the Put: command to work properly here...

the put file looks like this:

Put: C:\Temp\test.txt -> ftp://username@ftp.server.com/temp/test.txt



if i reverse this line like this it works to DownLoad (standard ftplist)

ftp://username@ftp.server.com/temp/test.txt -> C:\Temp\test.txt


what can be wrong ? i have tried lots of things here...

ill keep on trying tomorrow, need 2 sleep now

Heh, it reminds me one anecdote...

Have you tried NOT to put the space between "put:" and path?[/face]

[undcon]

Now this was funny

i was blinded by my own attempts and forgot to delete a space

now it works but with a minor glitch

all uploaded files gets the file-ending _

the used example above looks like this:

Put:C:\Temp\test.txt -> ftp://username@ftp.server.com/temp/test.txt

and the file that ends up on the server is named
test.txt_

a underscore is added to each file uploaded with this "Put" thingy



strange but it works...

Hi, new to this, but have the same problem. Ok I made the list file according to your guidelines above, and click the FTP Download From List menu, enter the list file's name for the first question, BUT then it asks for "Target path" (as if I were downloading), but since I have already included the target path in the upload list file (...->ftp://user@...), what to enter here? Should I repeat it again?

Tried to delete this field (making it empty) and also tried to enter the ftp server path again, it did not work either. Receive an "Error downloading file (nx)" message. How to handle this, please?

[karlchen]

Cannot confirm this behaviour.

Created this FTP upload list:

Code: Select all

put:C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\datei1.txt -> ftp://opera@hpux/tmp/datei1.txt
put:C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\datei2.txt -> ftp://opera@hpux/tmp/datei2.txt
put:C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp\datei3.txt -> ftp://opera@hpux/tmp/datei3.txt

Named it ftpupload.lst.

Selected Network => Download ftp files from list
In the upcoming dialogbox I entered the name of the list file, i.e. ftpupload.lst.
The only thing which I had to enter in another dialog box was the password for user "opera" on the ftp server.
No dialog box asking for a target path came up.

Tested this with several ftpuload.lst files.

So I assume something is wrong in your ftp upload list. Compare your syntax to the examples given above.

Don't hesitate to come back and ask if you keep on experiencing problems.

Hi Karl,

Oh, those Space-es again....

Ok, now it works, indeed, and thanks for your help, however let me have one more question. (maybe 2) It is a huge directory on the server with more than 200000 files already (!) where I need to upload even more. I can't even open this directory directly (from Windows at least) due to the number of files cousing timeout problem, that's why I wanted to copy the files this way, by an upload list, directly into the directory.

First I made a small upload list with only 3 files for testing, but after uploading the first file, the second does not start uploading, it seems TC waits for some "confirmation" or directory list or whatever before starting the second one. Can I turn it off somewhere in TC, so that it won't wait for anything just uploading all the files?

TC only waits for the "upload OK" from the server - which apparently never comes.
Try this: Upload the file to some other dir, then rename it and pass a relative directory to the right location (with forward slashes).

Hi,

Sorry, not quite understand what u mean... you mean upload the "upload list" file itself to a TEMP directory of the server? Then rename what? The Temp directory? Ok, I rename TEMP (directory) to WHATEVER, but it could've been it's original name already, what do I gain from it?

Sure I'm not on the right track... )
