+[TC850] FTPOPEN parameter also added to Folder history

[white]

(2ghisler: same as reported by email)

(you need a license file for the FTPOPEN parameter to be fully functional)

* create a ftp connection with name "ftptest"
* create a button with command "%COMMANDER_EXE% FTPOPEN:ftptest"
* click the button
* folder history contains en entry "FTPOPEN:ftptest\" which tries to go to drive F: ?

I don't have a drive F:
I get a drive not found error when ftp connection is shown in panel and I select "FTPOPEN:ftptest\" in folder history.
When a local drive is shown in panel and I select "FTPOPEN:ftptest\" in folder history, then nothing happens.

Does the path to TC contain spaces?

In a button you have to use simply:

Code: Select all

FTPOPEN ftptest

------

I pulled myself together and changed drive F: on one of my Labtops an testet the command line feature.

%COMMANDER_PATH% FTPOPEN:ftptest

works fine from TC' command line.


C:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe FTPOPEN:ftptest
and
C:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe FTPOPEN:ftptest

works fine from Windows' Run dialog, whether or not any TC instances are running.


When I open TC's History (Alt+down) I see the ftp://... site in the list as expected.

But when I run C:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe FTPOPEN:ftptest and no TC instance is open I ALSO get a FTPOPEN:ftptest\ entry in the History list.

If I click on FTPOPEN:ftptest\ in the history list while I am still connected to ftptest I get an error: "Drive not found" with the option to select another drive.

If I click FTPOPEN:ftptest\ after the connection to ftptest is closed then nothing happens.

This also applies to running C:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe FTPOPEN:ftptest in stead of C:\totalcmd\totalcmd64.exe FTPOPEN:ftptest.

This FTPOPEN:ftptest\ entry in the History list it obviously not supposed to be there and I consider it a bug.

folder history contains en entry "FTPOPEN:ftptest\" which tries to go to drive F: ?

How do you know that it tries to go to drive F?

Here it doesn't try that whether or not I have a drive F - it just opens the "Drive not found" dialog.

In a button you have to use simply:

Code: Select all

FTPOPEN ftptest

The test case is about the command line parameter, not about the button command. I used a button for easy testing.

%COMMANDER_PATH% FTPOPEN:ftptest

works fine from TC' command line.

No, it does not. If the path contains spaces you will have to use:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_PATH%" FTPOPEN:ftptest

The button command feature is more forgiving and also works when you leave out the quotes.

It was a question/assumption. Apparently it isn't the case.

Sorry

[petermad]

No, it does not. If the path contains spaces you will have to use:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_PATH%" FTPOPEN:ftptest

Actually it would be:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_EXE%" FTPOPEN:ftptest[

But I also wrote PATH in my previous posting by mistake.

Are you sure you didn't try to use

"%COMMANDER_PATH% FTPOPEN:ftptest"

I did that at first - more or less as a typo.

Sorry my name is not petermad and i am able to c&p what white wrote and today my button

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% FTPOPEN:ftptest

%COMMANDER_EXE%



-1

just opens a new tc instance but still doesnt care sh** about the ftpopen-cmd...

and it doesnt matter wich name I use ftpopen is ALLWAYS totally ignored....

ps: but im still using b12 ;/

[petermad]

2Sir_SiLvA

Hmm, your button:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE% FTPOPEN:ftptest

%COMMANDER_EXE%



-1

works perfectly all right here.

ps: but im still using b12

It was introduced in b3 - but improved later in b6 and final - maybe it is the fix in the final version you need to make it work?

It was introduced in TC7.55 in 2010 and never worked for systems without drive F: (see my report here)
It was fixed in TC8.50rc3e (private version).

My bad - yes it was introduced in 2010 actually in TC 7.51 b3 (7.51 was later changed to 7.55 as from b9)

2Sir_SiLvA: "%COMMANDER_PATH%" FTPOPEN:ftptest is working here too.
By chance you have ftptest put into a folder at your ftp connection list.
In this case the notation uses a pipe like:

Code: Select all

"%COMMANDER_PATH%" FTPOPEN:folder|ftptest

[petermad]

Confirmed fixed in TC 8.51b1
