Context-sensitive link for FTP files

Hi everybody,

How to customize list of FTP files display by enabling to display and/or copy the URL for the selected file to the Clipboard?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers.

Patrick

I'm having trouble understanding, sorry.

Maybe a screenshot will help?

I think I'm having the same problem/question as the original poster @pg111

When you're in Opus browsing FTP or SFTP mode, there's no way to copy the URL of the selected file(s).

In the other remote file browser utilities I've used, there's almost always some form of "Copy URL to Clipboard". In Opus, there are context menus for cut/copy/paste, etc, but that works on the entire file and it's contents, and doesn't give you a way to say, paste a link to the file into an message, a script, or a terminal.

Looks like I hadn't done enough searching... Seems this might be taken care of by:

Clipboard COPYNAMES=url

Yes, confirmation. That absolutely fixed my problem for FTP.

There is a minor bug in that SFTP connections via SSH also show an "ftp://" URL instead of n "sftp://" URL, but not even the OpenSSH default "sftp" app seems to be compatible with the "sftp://" URL scheme so it's not a big deal...

Opus uses ftp:// for both (have a look at the address bar) as it really just means the FTP module is handling the path.
