Better handling of FTP disconnect
Posted: 2009-03-13, 06:50 UTC
When a user has been idle for some time and the FTP connection has timed out and then copies a file to the remote location he is met with lots of dialogs that he has to choose OK on before being reconnected and having to tell Total Commander to copy the file once again.
A better handling of this condition would be to auto-reconnect if connection is lost (or at least offer this as an option) and do the transfer immediately without a single dialog box popping up. Optionally just design it for one dialog box asking "Connection lost. Do you want to reconnect and upload file?". Much simpler and more user friendly.
The integrated FTP client is one of Total Commanders bigger advantages.
