Going to sub-folder of FTP site

Help & Support
1

Hi,

Since the 9.5.1 release, i've noticed a change that broke my usual workflow...

i use text files parsed by autohotkey to connect to ftp sites
firt line is to connect to the ftp server, then the second line is to go to the correct folder.

until the 9.5 release, i've always used something like this in autohotkey :

RunWait, %dopus% /cmd "Go FTPSITE="ovh adnpix.fr" NEWTAB OPENINRIGHT"
RunWait, %dopus% /cmd "Go FTP://ftp.mediaPlan.ovh.net//www/someproject OPENINRIGHT"

and i worked perfectly, but since i updated to the latest release, this does not work anymore, it works as a button :
Go FTPSITE="ovh adnpix.fr" NEWTAB OPENINRIGHT
Go FTP://ftp.mediaPlan.ovh.net//www/someproject OPENINRIGHT

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance for giving me some clues
Nicolas

i noticed that if i have add a pause between commands, it works...
that is :

RunWait, %dopus% /cmd Go FTPSITE="ftp" NEWTAB OPENINRIGHT
Sleep, 1000
RunWait, %dopus% /cmd Go FTP://someserver//www/someproject OPENINRIGHT

before 9.5.1 release there was no need for this pause, maybe dopusrt does not send the same information when it ends ? making the autohotkey command RunWait not working ?

There's no need to use two commands; you can do it in a single line. If "ovh adnpix.fr" is the name of the FTP address book entry then:

Go "@ovh adnpix.fr//www/someproject" OPENINRIGHT

thanks for your answer Leo,
i works like a charm. (i had to change 200+ text files... :open_mouth: )

however i restate that 9.5.1 changed something
dopusrt does not behave like it did, and i'm pretty sure it has some side effects for many users.

The fact that one cannot use autohotkey or other scripting/macro langage to chain dopus actions seems a bit strange to me.

:question:

If there's a general problem with dopusrt then it's worth looking into but if it only affects pairs of FTP commands like in this example, where it's better to use a single command anyway, then I don't think it is.

Have you run into any other problems with dopusrt since updating?

you are perfectly right, however since this behavior appeared between 9.5.0 and 9.5.1 (maybe only for pairs of FTP command i admit), i think it's worth investigating :wink:

in any case, thanks to you my workflow is back to normal :smiley:

oups i forgot...

Hi,
since upgrading to dopus 10 the command suggested by leo does not work as expected :

Go "@entry_of_ftp_address_book//www/someproject" OPENINRIGHT

it does connect but the problem is it does not connect using a secure connection ... it should since "entry_of_ftp_address_book" is set as a secure connection

Go "@entry_of_ftp_address_book" does work, that is, it does connect using a secure connection

i guess this is a bug... is there any workaround while waiting for a fix... if not i'll have to downgrade to dopus 9... :cry:

Thanks for your help

Confirmed, that looks like a bug.

I can't think of a workaround (other than creating a bookmark for every possible folder you might want to go to, which seems unworkable).

I've put in a bug report for it.
