[Secure FTP] force text comparition of many files

[Nux]

Hi. Is it possible to somehow force Total Commander to compare files by content?

I know it would have to download all files but I would like to have the possibility to compare more then one file at once. Maybe an option in a context menu to compare all selected?

If that is not clear - I mean directory synchronization dialog. Total Commander always show question marks for comparison of the files (even though I have chosen to compare by content). This is fine as a default behavior, but I still need to force it to make text comparison for at least some folders.

Since the Total Commander does not call the plugins FsGetFileW method the content is not fetched and thus not compared.

You'd have to modify (fix?) the Total Commander for this.

Code: Select all

  get remote file -> temp file
  compare content with temp file
  delete temp file

Found a workaround. Comparing works if you will map a drive using this sftp net drive (free version works fine):

It works MUCH slower then Secure FTP, but seems to allow any operation that is valid on a normally mapped drive.

There is also an open source project for Windows SFTP integration:
