I just upgraded Salamander from 3.08 to 4.0 and tried out the ftp-Client. With this plugin it could replace my ftp client.
But the ftp Client lacks an important feature - when a file exists on the server it gives a warning and asks to overwrite. My 14 year old ftp client is so smart that it only asks if the file on the server is newer than the file i want to upload.
So updating changed files is unnecessary complex. Since the warning gives no hint to decide (for example: timestamp and file size of file on server and local directory) you can only abort look in the list and start new.
There should be a setting like "overwrite files with newer date without confirmation". At least the warning-Question should have a button like "overwrite older files for all".
FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files
Re: FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files
This functionality is found at copy/options/advanced where you specify which time you want to have as your border line time to recognize the same file.BerndL wrote: ↑11 Jul 2019, 21:29 I just upgraded Salamander from 3.08 to 4.0 and tried out the ftp-Client.

Re: FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files
Sorry, perhaps i'm to silly for that, but even after changing the Language to english i did not found such a menu item either in the main manu nor the ftp client config nor the common configuration.
Re: FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files
It would be in neither of those places.
It would be in the File Copy (F5) dialog: -> Options --> Overwrite older and skip other existing files without asking.

Re: FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files

Re: FTP Client - use Timestamp for overwrite files
As the dialog says, this functionality is not supported while using a Plugin. This statement is also valid for FTP.
The plugin itself has its own options for handling overwrite which are accessible during the copy process.
