I love dopus ftp, but can't use it on sites which hide dirs and filenames for security reasons. EG in cuteftp I can right click in the secure folder and do a Manual Get or Manual Change Dir etc. How can I do this in dopus please?
Doesn't editing the path field work?
Thanks - yes path edit does work to enable a manual directory change.
But we still need a manual GET method - any ideas here please?
What do you want to do exactly?
Press a button and enter a relative filepath to download that file from the current site?
Or:
Press a button, when not on an FTP site, and enter a full FTP URL to get that file?
Or something else?
Once I have logged in and found the require directory, I need to perform a MANUAL GET or RETRIEVE command somehow.
So a button, or a right click on the blank file listing to enable a dialog to enter the required filename.
I've created a button before, but don't know how to add a dialog to it to prompt for the filename, and I don't know the ftp command to issue.
No need for full pathnames etc with this method thanks.
So you need to get a named file from the current directory? (Like a file that's in the current directory but not listed by the server because it's hidden in some way.)
yes that is correct thanks
This seems to work, although I haven't tried it with a file that's hidden by the FTP server as I don't have anything to test with. It works with files that aren't hidden by the server, at least:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button backcol="none" display="both" textcol="none">
<label>File Copy Prompt</label>
<tip>Asks you for the name of a file to copy from the current directory.</tip>
<icon1>#copy</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>Copy FILE "{dlgstring|Enter name of file to copy}"</instruction>
</function>
</button>
See here if you don't know what to do with the above code block.
works perfectly - many thanks Nudel!
(I now just have to learn how to program buttons for myself)
