- @FTPConnect
- $ #Connecting to FTP host#
- You may connect to a server either from the FAR command line
- or from ~hosts panel~@FTPNames@.
-
- FAR supports the following host name format:
-
- #ftp://user:password@@hostname:port/folder#
-
- where "hostname" is always required, "ftp://" prefix also is required
- to connect from the command line and optional, when connecting from
- hosts panel. All other name parts are optional. If the user name is absent,
- "anonymous" will be used. If the password is omitted, default password,
- defined in ~FTP client configuration~@Config@, will be sent to the server.
-
- To connect from the command line enter host name, beginning from
- "ftp://" prefix, in FAR command line.
-
- To connect from the host panel, activate FTP plugin, select desired
- server and press Enter.
-
- To edit server parameters directly before connecting, press F4
- on the server name, make all necessary changes and press the
- "Connect" button.
-
- @FTPNames
- $ #Managing host names#
- Host names are organized in the form of a file panel. You may
- enter a new host record using Shift-F4. Each record consists of
- host name, user password field, optional description, options
- "Ask password directly before connecting", "ASCII mode" and
- "Passive mode".
-
- FAR supports the following host name format:
-
- #ftp://user:password@@hostname:port/folder#
-
- All components, except "hostname", are optional.
-
- The user password may be entered either in the host name or in a
- separate password field. In the second case it will not be shown in
- the panel. Also you may leave it empty to use the default password,
- defined in ~FTP client configuration~@Config@.
-
- Additionally it is possible to set "Ask password directly before
- connecting" host option to enter password (and user name, if necessary)
- manually before connecting to the server.
-
- "ASCII mode" option allows to use ASCII mode file transfers by default.
-
- "Passive mode" and "Use firewall" options can be required to work with
- some types of firewall. They override similar options from
- ~FTP client configuration~@Config@.
-
- Use "Select table" button to override default character table
- for this server.
-
- To edit parameters of an existing host press F4 on its name.
-
- Using F7, it is possible to create folders for host names.
-
- You may copy and move host records to and from folders and local disks
- using the F5 and F6 commands.
-
- F8 deletes information about selected hosts.
-
- Press Alt-F6 to save information about a currently connected host.
-
- @FTPCmd
- $ #FTP client commands#
- The FTP client allows operation with an FTP server files just
- as if the files were located on local disks. It supports file and
- folder copying, moving, deletion, folders creation, files viewing
- and editing. Also it is possible to resume a broken transfer using
- the "Resume" button in the overwrite file dialog, but this function
- must be supported by the FTP server. You may use the "Find file"
- command to search for files on the FTP server. Ctrl-A changes the
- file access mode, if this operation is supported by the server.
-
- Press #Shift-F7# to change the character table, used for file names
- and descriptions. Also you may specify character table in server parameters
- independently for each server.
-
- Some FTP operations may be interrupted with Esc. If Esc does not help,
- Ctrl-Break may be used, but unlike Esc it breaks a current connection.
-
- @Config
- $ #FTP client configuration#
- In this dialog you may change the following options:
-
- #Add to disks menu# Enables adding "FTP" item to the disks menu.
-
- #Disks menu hotkey# Hotkey for the FTP client item in disks menu.
- May be set from 1 to 9 or leave this field
- empty to autoassign.
-
- #Add to plugins menu# Enables adding "FTP" item to the plugins menu.
-
- #Description list# Names of files with FTP files descriptions.
- #names delimited#
- #with commas#
-
- #Read descriptions# Read descriptions of FTP files when entering
- an FTP folder. This enables viewing of file
- descriptions but slows down folder reading.
-
- #Update descriptions# Update descriptions of FTP files after
- uploading or deleting.
-
- #Upload uppercase# If this option is on and the name of the
- #files in lowercase# uploaded file consists only of uppercase
- characters, it will be transferred to the
- server in lowercase.
-
- #Show upload# If you do not need to manually change
- #options dialog# the destination path and ASCII/binary mode
- when uploading files, you may clear this
- option to skip second upload dialog.
-
- #Default password# Password, which will be used as the default
- when entering new server parameters. It will
- also be used when connecting, if a password
- is not entered and the user name is empty or
- "anonymous".
-
- #Firewall# Name of the firewall server. Leave empty
- if you do not use a firewall. Only one type
- of firewall is supported:
- remote_userid@@remote_host is sent to
- the firewall as user name when connecting
- to a remote_host.
-
- #Passive mode# This mode can be required to work with
- some types of firewall. Because each host
- record has its own "Passive mode" option,
- the configuration option value is used when
- entering a new host or when connecting from
- the command line.
-
-
- @FTPPanel
- $ #FTP client panel modes#
- FTP client uses panel modes 8 and 9 to display some additional
- information about FTP files.
-
- Mode 8 (file owners) contains file owner and group information.
-
- Mode 9 (file links) contains file access mode information in Unix
- format.
-
- This information can be correctly displayed only if it is provided
- by FTP server in the standard Unix format.
