Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

hi just installed, and subsequent update gave me the port addon. Looks very promising. Here's what I have found:
1. no unicode support
2. I have same problem as above regarding no back (..) option in remote server
3. username field always caps the first letter
4. unable to edit a created bookmark. Only option is to delete and redo
5. would be nice with option to sort folders on top
6. local side . folders does not show fx. .sounds, .documents, etc.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

well just find out for the cap on the login and the edit book mark
plus if you creat a new bookmark with the same IP it looks like it's not created

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

When I save a bbookmark, the portnumber wont save

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

yup so it's confirmed :D

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Thanks for testing so thoroughly.


Will work on this. Just don't know how to fix in Python. Does else can give me a hint?

Which server do you connect to?
Maybe I insert a ".." by default, and filter out the one sent from the server (if sent)

It seems, that I don't have influence on the behaviour of the keyboard stuff. The capitalization can be turned of in N900 settings.
Does someone know knows better?

Will be available in next version

It's on the todo list

Already fixed. Available in new version

New version will be rolled out tomorrow latest.


Again thanx for the interest in this project :)

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Will be fixed in new version, which appears tomorrow at the latest

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Yup Go to parameters --> text Input --> Uncheck "Automatic capitals" or something like that

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Sorry for not being clear. Above problem for me is there even though auto cap is turned off at system level.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Hey buddy can you UPnP host by the N900 as a build in for N900 FTP? This would make it a killer app for N900 and a must use :)

UPnP is usefull when sharing media files to PS3 or PC

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

pfuh ... we are talkin' about ftp with another level regardin UPNP stuff ...
hard to code i guess ...

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Have you tried to push SHIFT + the first char? It works for me in printing a lowercase letter.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

New Version is available in the repos.

Changelog:

• Unicode support --> Can someone test please, for me german "umlaute" are working so I think unicode is working

• .. (parent dir) on remote site for all servers --> Can someone test this please, since it was working for me before already

• edit bookmark

• local hidden folders beginning with . are shown

• Non-Standard Ports are saved now in Bookmarks

• Remote Directories and Files are sorted

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

To be honest, I have no clue about UPnP.
Is there someone else with knowledge in this topic and some developing skills, who wants to help?

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Cheers jojop2!

Nice and useful program. Thanks for this.
The new version works like a charm for me including bookmarks and Unicode.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Thank you for the quick fix, but now I have another problem.
I need to be able to switch between active and passive mode, depending on where I connect to my FTP server from.
Is there any chance such a function could be implemented?

Thanks.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

really nice update thanks !
still not working for ssh sftp :(
a must have I think for a linux distributoin ftp client :o

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Starts to looking good. But I suggest the you should be able to chose between advance folder view and basic. Where advance shows all the .folders and basic shows you MyDocs with the folders as shown in Maemo "File Manager".
I think people th5 like to use Ftp but not familiar with .folders find it much more easy to navigate.
Also the most common folders I use are .sound, tmp, .documents and .downloads so all the other .folders is just in the way for easy and usable navigating in local files.
Also a meny with your favorites thet connects you right away with one click would be nice.
A connecting and downloading progressbar would be nice.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Another thing I thougth about.
Instead of being able to scroll sideways, I suggest that if you mark a folder or a file that are wider then the column should start scroll the name to the left and by that show you the full name. most of the time you know your folders and files even thou you cant see the whole name. But as it is now I find it a little clumsy to scroll.

I hope my sugesstions can help you bring the maemo users around the world an nice looking ftp client.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Really nice update
1: Still auto Cap. first letter in username (am I the only one?).
2: unicode not working for me (danish characters oslash, ae and aring)

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

for auto cap disable it in the "text input" section in "parameters"
and when typing the 1st character use CAP button also
:D

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Clovis, I don't quite follow:

As stated previously, I have Auto-capitalisation disabled at system level (text-input).
Don't follow your second suggestion.

Am I really the only one where the first letter is in caps when writing in the username and server fields when creating a location?

I'm not saying it's a major issue, just curious.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

It's not cap for password but it still is for server name and username
so if you already disabled the parameters option
ONLY for login and server name :
use the maj button when typing the first letter it will print it not in MAJ ( ie KEEP the maj button while typing your letter )
working here for me :D
if it is still not working try upgrade maybe you missed the last upgrade ?
I think Jojop2 made the change only for the password field

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Hi there,

I didn't change the behaviour of the password field. It seems to be the normal treatment for password enabled fields, that there is no capitalization.

But somehow there seems to be a possibility to have influence on the behaviour of normal textfieds, because the normal input fields of the build in browser are working without capitalization.

Can someone with more programing knowledge shed some light on this?

FYI: I'm working with QT Designer, if' thats important.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

I'll add this to my TO-DO list. Shouldn't be a big issue to implement.
In next version it will be available.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Thanks for good tips and hints.
I like the idea of switching between an advanced and an basic view.
For the topic regarding the direct connection from Bookmarklist I would appreciate some more opinions.
My intention was to see the server URL before connecting in order to verify that it is the right server, because once you are connected you don't have an inidication to which server the connection has been made.

What do you mean by connecting progressbar? Do you mean a forth and back running progressbar during the time where the aplication trys to connect until connection is established?

Regarding the downloading/uploading progressbar:
My plan was to implement this feature. That's why I use the QFtp module for File Transfers.

If the SSH feature is requested I have to switch to ftplib module, which doesn't seem to give me the file size of remote files. So a progressbar is not possible anymore with SSH I think.

What do you think?

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

personnaly, i would rather prefer a ssh connection thant a graphical transfer progress bar :D
thanks again for your job it's getting every time nicer and nicer ^^

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Bookmarks and connecting progress:
Maybe something like this, when you start the application you got an empty column to the right, instead of it being empty you could list the bookmarks as buttoms with the bookmarkname you have added before.
And when you click on one of the buttoms it brings up a overlay window that slides from below that says connecting to <server adress> and some circaling animation that give the the feedback that the application are connecting, and when you are connected the overlaywindows slides back down and the folders are present in the right window.

About the downloading progressbar, I thought you must be having that in mind :).

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

For some weard reason I'm not able to download or upload files from/to my server... I'm only able to browse directories with this app... (I'm using filezilla as server)

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

I'm currently busy with implementing SFTP/SCP.
I think next version will be available beginning of next week.
After that I'll check your up/download issue with filezilla.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Splendid, Thank you for Your fantastic effort.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

Thank you. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

I'm clicking download on a file i want from my own ftp, and it's not transferring. the other commands seem to work just fine.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

New Version is in repos.
Changelog:

• SFTP/SCP support based on Paramiko (http://www.lag.net/paramiko/)
• Progressbar for nearly every remote action
• Added Active/Passive Mode capabilities (only for FTP)
• Advanced/Basic Mode based on suggestion from toxaris
• Changed from QFTP to ftplib and ftputil (http://ftputil.sschwarzer.net/trac)
• solved some download and upload bugs

Known Issues:

• Progressbars "Cancel-Button" not working
• In SFTP/SCP mode no UNICODE support

Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Especially Active/Passive mode and non-standard ports I couldn't test myself.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

same problem. can't download. impossible to tell what it's doing without logs or progress bars. i didn't try the new version yet.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

please try with latest version. when it's still not working I'm going to implement a logging window next.

thanks for feedback

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

raidenftpd

here, made you a useless account with a text file you can try downloading:

ftp://maemo:test@creamy.no-ip.com:8888/

you can try implicit ssl on port 7777
explicit ssl (auth ssl/tls) on port 21

router has that box set to DMZ so it should just work.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

I edited my previous post, because I didnt get that you are are still using the old version.

You were too fast :-)

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

yeah i'm trying to update it, just takes forever over 2G :(
you can play with that account if you want meanwhile.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

cool, okay i think the new version works. the ssl modes don't, if you feel like troubleshooting that stuff some time let me know, i can make another test account. that one above will suicide in 3 days.

Re: [Announce] - FTP Client
 

thanks. Will try tomorrow, it's already past midnight here.
good night
