Mike,

Have you been able to try the new beta with the default download directory for SFTP?

Brian

Tried it and I like it a lot, thanks a ton. I'll be purchasing my copy asap!

Got your PM also, thanks, just wanted to make sure you were aware of that.

There are things I'd love to see in the SFTP that would be cool eventually but only wants and not needs, so if you are bored and looking for things to add ( LOL ):

List of Favorite folders for on the server that I can just drop down and goto quickly.

When you transfer things and goto overwrite them, an overwrite all option so you don't have to hit it a hundred times.

Maybe a log at the bottom showing whats happening/what happened and transfer rates, etc.

I did like these feature on the old SSH Secure Shell I used to use. But that's only on SFTP, your main prog is 100 times better!!!

Brian,

I'm running 6.28 - in my environment I use a set (five, actually) of VMWare virtual PCs because I VPN a lot. Because of some of our customer's requirements some of the VPN connections cause me to lose access to my local network resources. I normally run AbsoluteTelnet from "my" network drive (it's a share on my desktop that I publish to the VMWare machines) - when I use one of the restricted VPNs I start from a local drive. I've noticed that if I fire up the sftp client (which is way cool, by the way) there seems to be some combination where the default PC directory is unavailable (from a previous restricted session, perhaps), and if I try to navigate using the "up" icon at the top of the sftp window it'll crash AbsoluteTelnet. I can type a drive letter into the address box and it will work just fine, so there is a workaround. The crashing is unfortunate, because it takes all the tabbbed connections along as well.

I just hing my client (rather than crashing - same difference, I suppose). I have several local files to push to my server (HP/UX, if it matters). At first I tried selecting several files (Ctrl-A didn't seem to work, so I clicked one then SHIFT-Click to get a bunch) but as soon as I started to drag them the client disappeared. If I move a single file, then grab a bunch, it seems to work. During the transfer the target window went blank, and when I tried to navigate out it hung. Still, I'm not changing software - this is still most excellent!

Cecil,

I believe both of those problems are addressed in the (soon to be released) 7.14 verion. You can grab it here:

Let me know how it works for you.

Brian

So far, so good. The CTRL-A doesn't work (in case that was something you were working on) but it hasn't crashed yet, and the select multiple files works just find. I'll have to wait until the next occurrance of the unavailable drive to see if the navigation works.

Well done!
