TOPIC: SFTP default directory

Re: SFTP default directory 3 Years, 1 Month ago  
You're right. Ctrl-A does nothing. Never did. It is something I can think of adding, though.

As for the crash, time will tell... I feel pretty confident, though, that those two issues were completely addressed in the 7.14 release.

To simulate the 'missing directory', you could try the following to recreate the issue:

1. Create a temporary folder, navigate to it in the SFTP dialog
2. Exit SFTP
3. Using windows explorer, remove the folder
4. Start SFTP

Prior to version 7, this would recreate the problem you had. The local directory would be blank, and attempts at navigation would bomb. In 7.14 and above, this is handled more gracefully.

That's because on some platforms a zip file looks like a folder. And I don't show sizes for folders. For example, if you double-click a regular file, it will start the SFTP transfer to the remote side. However, if you double-click a zip file, it will navigate into it as if it were a folder.

The same behavior can be seen in a windeows explorer folder. With a zip file, you have two options: 'Open' and 'Explore'. 'Open' will open it as a file. 'Explore' will open it as a folder.

Most of these display and navigation behaviours are defined by and inherited from the Windows shell interface. I'll have to look a bit close to see how best to display these items.
