Partial file system notification support

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:19:31 +0200

Creator: orgin
A suggestion to add partial file system notification support.

Naturally it's not possible to generate file system notification for actions generated remotely. But locally initiated actions could be used to generate file system notifications.

A few examples where notifications could be generated:

Copy a file to the remote host
Delete a file on a remote host
Add a directory at the remote host
Remove a directory at the remote host

File Permisions On The FTP Server

Sun, 21 Jun 2009 13:20:47 +0200

Creator: broadblues
Currently it's not possible to set filepermisions of the destination file when copying to a ftp host.

This requires a sepaerate session with a ftp client to enabale CGI scripts for example.

This is what I was refering too on the Filer thread. It's something you could do transparently on DOpus5, and very useful, as you could get a website working locally then copying as it to the webserver, without fiddling with CHMOD in a ftp client.

Doing somthing like

cd ftp:bluesplus/cgi-bin/

protect +e script.pl

will return a packet request type unkown or even a GRIM

a Lock() on a ftp host root should not cause a connection

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:26:46 +0200

Creator: abalaban
A Lock() operation on a ftp host root (ie: FTP:ftp.some.host) is causing a connection to the ftp host. This is not a desirable thing because in fact all we might want is only examining the object FTP:ftp.some.host itself this does not require a connection to be initiated.

FTPMount does not report file sizes over 4Gb correctly

Add new options for arbitrary sites

Sat, 16 May 2009 12:57:26 +0200

Creator: orgin
Make ftpmount remembers the username+password password for a site instead of asking for it over and over again.

When connecting to a non predefined site ask for this:

 Username: ______________________
 Password: ______________________
 Remember until:
 [o] Until Reboot
 [ ] Until disconnected
 [ ] Forever
 [Cancel]    [Connect]

The three options are part of a radio button group.

Until reboot -> FTPMount remembers the username/pwd combination for the site until the OS is rebooted. (default action)

Until disconnected -> FTPMount remembers the username/pwd combination in the same manner as now.

Forever -> FTPMount creates a new predefined site with the stated username/pwd combination.

If FTPMount fails to connect using the stored uname/pwd it shall ask again.

Remove "connection ok" requester

Remove the "connection ok" requester.

It doesn't fulfill any real purpose, either you connect or it fails (where you get a requester anyway).

multiview crash

Creator: orgin
This leads to a DSI:

cd ftp:
multiview mysite.info

Expose predefined sites as directories in ftp:

Fri, 15 May 2009 18:37:53 +0200

Creator: orgin
It would be good it the predefined sites in ftp: were exposed as directories as well as the .info files. That way you can do:

cd ftp:
list
cd thesite.com

Also since they are just visible as icons file managers like Filer just displays the info files and not directories not letting you click any directory to take you to the sites. It would be better if the ftp device returned directories as well as the icon files.

3.System:cd ftp:
3.FTPMount:list
Directory "ftp:" on Friday 15-May-09
mysite.com           Dir ----re-d Saturday  12:53:52
mysite.com.info     3254 ----re-d Saturday  12:43:25
yoursite.com         Dir ----re-d Saturday  12:13:13
yoursite.com.info   2344 ----re-d Saturday  12:53:47

2 files - 6k bytes - 4 directories - 10 blocks used
cd mysite.com
3.FTPMount:mysite.com

cd mysite.com above already works. but since the device doesn't return any directories third party programs such as diropus/filer etc don't see any directories to display in the file lists.

ftpmount mkdir crash

Thu, 14 May 2009 23:06:26 +0200

Creator: orgin
Creating a directory in ftp: leads to a crash.

It should display a warning if you try to do that and then .. not crash.
