I'm trying to get into site, my mygearilla.com to upload a changed file. Yesterday, this DOpus worked beautifully. I was just about to throw out Filezilla.
Today, nothing but frustration. I thought earlier that it was because I was logged into my site (sharing problem?) for checking stats but I've since logged off.
Yesterday, I used the Quick connect option but today found where you can set up username and password. Thinking that would be far more convenient, I set that up.
Perhaps I have a string problem? I think I used simply "mygearilla.com" yesterday. Is that okay?
I took a break, turned off my machine, did my workout, had dinner, then returned.
Upon retrying, I was able to log on using DOpus to both of my FTP sites.
One inkling of a problem. My firewall (Sygate) asked for permission at my first try. I answered yes, for permission granted.
I'm guessing that was my problem all along but don't know why it chose to raise its ugly today.
I apologize for the false alarm.
While I began evaluating DOpus for its FTP capability I can't help but notice its overall file handling abilities. I've been a Ztree Win user for more than a decade and have done a bit of lobbying to get it into the GUI world. That won't happen and I now realize I may have found Ztree's match and perhaps more, but in a far more intuitive setting.
I too am a long-term Ztree user. Xtree since the 1980's, in fact. I came across Dopus completely by accident whilst searching for an image directory to html list with thumbnails program. Dopus doesn't do that, as far as I can see, but it does an awful lot of other stuff which is just wonderful.
I'm on day one of using this. I'm guessing my enthusiasm will not abate.
Turns out Dopus does indeed do what I need as far as image listing is concerned. I still can't get it to produced perfectly browned toast, but everything else is just great!
Xtree, Ztree, PowerDesk Pro, Directory Opus. No point in looking any further.
Along the way I tried and relatively quickly discarded just about every file manager out there, but those four were the ones that stayed around on my systems over the years.
As brough implies, if Opus cannot do it, it is probably not something a file manager should be doing.
