Is there a way to use the Folder Tree with FTP?

Help & Support

Is there a way to have the Folder Tree react in a similar way when browsing directories?

Not in the current version.

By the way, there's an option to lock folder tree so it doesn't change when changing directory in lister.
I have seen (somewhere, can't recall where) an option to lock location of two listers (e.g. one is ftp and the second is respective local dir, or one is backup folder and second is original dir) so if I go inside eg. "graphic" directory in one lister, both listers change location to ./graphic
It was very useful and I would like to see it in Directory Opus.

That's already in Opus. It's called Navigation Lock:

It's not in the default menus but you can add it from the Customize -> Commands window.

Thanks. That's what I've been looking for. :slight_smile:

I'd really like a ftp folder tree! Is there any chance this could be implemented?
That and being able to use multiple connections at a time (automatically) are the only things keeping me with FileZilla

What do you mean by that?

I would also like folder tree for FTP.

I assume IzDwku means downloading one file using two connections. i.e. One connection downloads the first half of the file while another connection downloads the other half, then the two halves are joined together. That can make downloads faster than using just a single connection because the FTP protocol wasn't designed very well for coping with high-latency connections.

(FTP can waste a lot of time doing nothing while it waits for client/server responses when it could have been sending more data. Having two data streams in parallel can help speed things up since while one connection is waiting on a response the other might be sending/receiving some data. Of course, doing this requires that the FTP server supports resume and allows you to login multiple times.)

People who want either feature should register their support for them with GPSoftware. I know that both are already on the request list, though, FWIW.

Actually I didn't mean downloading 1 file with 2 connections but using multiple connections to download a queue of files.
Example: you download a folder with 50 files. Dopus will download 1 file after another, always using 1 connection only. Other clients use a configurable number of connections (usually 1-10) to download that number of files simulaniously.

Going to send both feature requests via the support form.
