| 565192 | 2007-07-02 23:58:00 | Greetings I am finding my self using ftp more and more, and i have tried a number of fp clients, and they all seem to be much of a muchness the one feature i want only appears to be working in dreamweaver What i want to be able to do is When i click on a file and tell it to upload, it uploads to the matching directory on the server, respecting my directory structure Ok you are probably baffled by what i am on about heres an example if i have this file structure on my computer | -bob dave.html jack.html erasmus.html |-bill sam.html elvira.html elvis.html |-brian heloise.php ishmael.html and i only want to put the ishmael file up on to the empty site but i want to retain the directory structure, in dreamweaver all i need do is click on the ishmael file and it will put it up and create the directory structure But there is no easy way to do this using a standard ftp client The main reason i want this is that with a standard ftp client I navigate through my local directory structure and find the file i want and click on upload and then i realise i haven't set the remote location to match where i am in the local file tree, and the file has ended uo in the wrong place, with dreamweaver i just don't have to worry about this as the file automatically goe in to the matching place on the remote file tree If this makes no sense let me know, otherwise please give me a suggestion of a client that can actually do this, thanks |

| 565194 | 2007-07-03 00:21:00 | I use FlashFXP - not sure if it does exactly what you describe, but it does have a synchronisation feature which accomplishes the same thing Synchronized browsing allows webmasters to keep local and remote directly listings in synch while browsing. |

| 565196 | 2007-10-26 04:30:00 | Ok I'm dredging this post up for ftp I am using fireftp which is excellent and it keeps the connection alive until i tell it not to which is brilliant, but I would also like a standalone ftp client I'm currently trying filezilla, and it's ok, but the connection drops after a minute or 2 of inactivity, i had the same issue with total commander even when it was sending a noop signal Does any-one have a recommendation of a stand alone ftp client that can actually maintain the connection and not drop it after a few minutes of inactivity? |

| 565198 | 2007-10-26 05:38:00 | umm well then how come the connection stays alive with fireftp on the same sites | Morgenmuffel (187) | ||
| 565199 | 2007-10-26 05:50:00 | Nigel... probably your FireFTP does an auto ping or something to tell the server that you're still busy working. To be honest that's not the best way to make friends with your server owner (wasted bandwidth and server resources). When I set up hosting for my customers my FTP connection would time out at 5 minutes. A polite request to the server manager to increase it to 15 minutes did it for me. |
