"FTP Show Hidden files" not changeable via menu

[burg1]

Hi,

I'm observing an odd bug here:
When I change the "FTP Show Hidden files" setting (Net menu), it stays for the session, but gets reset on exit.

However, when I manually change FtpShowHidden in wcx_ftp.ini, it works as expected.

Looks like the menu setting isn't written into the ini-file. (Setting up a new FTP connection does work, so the file IS writeable in principle)

Cheers!

Hello, Burg1.

It works as designed. But the design may be questionable...

The menu item "FTP show hidden files" is just an on/off switch which switches the setting on/off, default=off, for the current T.C. session.

In order to make FTP show hidden files by default, you have to add the parameter FtpShowHidden=1 to the [General] section of your wcx_ftp.ini file.

This is inconvenient. - Too many parameters which can be set by modifying the INI files directly only.

Kind regards,
Karl

This is intentional because some servers show nothing at all with FtpShowHidden=1 (e.g. some Windows-based servers).

Hi,

well then, please make the FtpShowHidden option configurable for each FTP connection separately - as has been suggested before somewhere in this forum....

Thanks!!

Agree. Existing one as deafult parameter value and once per connection, if specified, to override default value.
