[Announce] - FTP Client

Hi community,
it is my first active post here and I hope it will be an interesting one for at least some of you.

My search for an usable FTP client wasn't of any success. So I decided to write one on my own.

Currently the following functions are implemented:

Server connection bookmarks

on Remote site

create/rename

download single files

download directories recursively

on local site

upload single files

upload directories recursively

delete / rename / new directory

future planned features are

current file transfer progress

the whole application sbould be designed for finger usage (is this the proper word?)

In case someone is interested in this app, I would appreciate any feedback.

======================
Here are some screenshots of Version 0.1.3

Re: Announcement - FTP Client

very interested in this. Not quite sure whether it's going to be available in the repos - searched for ftp, but yours didn't come up.

Re: Announcement - FTP Client

current state I would cosider to be an early pre release.
Beside that Id be thankfuĺ for some information about howto share the software via repos.

Kind of a short step by step guide would perfect.
1. setup account
2. create package
.
.

I think until tonight the recursive upload is working. Then I will upload a version on my HP. Download link will be provided here till I management to put it into repos.

Re: Announcement - FTP Client

As promised, the first version is ready to download from this link
http://dremadur.de/N900FTP.zip

Please use this version on your own risk, it is nothing more than a pre release.
Nevertheless I'm waiting for every feedback to get this software running smoothly.

After download, unzip and put somewhere in your filesystem. From commandline execute then
# python N900FTP.py

I'm not quite sure, but I think the package "PyQt4 Full install" is needed.

Open issues are:
- After downloading / uploading the local or remote view is not updated
--> workaround, select another dir and jump back
- Recursive deleting remote directories is not working
- Bookmarks are not implemented yet,
--> every time the login information has to be re-entered
- No progressbar of what is happening
--> only commandline sth. is logged
in combination with the first issue it's not so easy to realize when a transfer is finished

HowTo use the application:
1. After start click on menu -> Open Location
2. After successfull connect the left list shows the local filesystem, the right list shows the remote server
3. Any action is started, by clicking and holding on a list entry. The context menu, which opens, offers all possible functions
4. To switch from Home-Folder to Memory-Card, open the menu --> Switch Local Dir and enter /media/mmc1

@aspidites: Thanks for providing the link. It seems most of the instructions are based on using scratchbox environment. I hope I'll find another way, because I haven't set it up.
