[TC8.50b14]FTP Download From List:Skip upload marked OK-

[white]

* Use FTP Download From List feature to upload a file to a server

Code: Select all

put:c:\file.txt -> ftp://user:password@ftp.server.nl/file.txt

* Upload the same file again using the same method
* Choose Skip or Skip all when the overwrite dialog appears

The upload line in the "download list" is marked with the "OK-" stamp.

Skip is treated as a success (because the user actively skipped the file), so it's marked as OK so the user doesn't re-download it when trying to re-do the failed transfers.

I think you mean re-upload, not re-download. There are no skip buttons when downloading.

What if the user skipped files because a different file with the same name existed. The user may want to upload the skipped files later.

Also, I doubt that it is obvious to the user that the OK mark does NOT mean the upload was successful.

Yes, I meant re-upload. And I prefer to keep it this way.

Actually, there are. It depends on the number of commands in the download list. When there is only 1 file (not a folder) to download and nothing else in the "download list", the skip buttons are left out.
When the "download list" consists of only the upload of 1 file, the skip buttons are not left out

When a download is skipped the line is not marked with OK
