Editing annoyance

steen · 02-06-2004, 11:51 PM

Hello,

I have this problem with FXP when editing php and html.

When I edit it while in FXP (without downloading) sometimes it like "formats" the html/php.

It is a super annoyance!

What it does is turns this:

<html>
<head>

<title>MY Homepage</title>
</head>

<Body>

BlahBlah

<br><br>

Blaaa

</body>
</html>

Into:

<html><head><title>MY Homepage</title></head><Body>BlahBlah<br><br>Blaaa</body></html>

Ie. everything gets puched together.

This makes hell for future editing of HTML and worse, it messes up any php

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your time,
Steen.

Can you paste the log, so we can work it out then..

If you're seeing this problem with notepad then mostly the file is being downloaded in binary mode. You might have better results using the internal editor. ultimately you really need to transfer text files in ascii mode, most often if they're sent in binary mode php, cgi, etc have trouble reading the files and you get unexpected results from your web server.

Thank you.

One quick Q.

How do I set them all to the internal editor?

I like that one better, but I cannot find the program in my computer. The only .exe program in the FXP directory is flashfxp itself

Thank you.

in FlashFXP > Options > File Associations

Add the file masks and select "Internal Editor" as the editor.

Did you ever verify if the files were being uploaded in ascii or binary mode? it's very important that you find out.

How do I check which mode files are being Xfered in?

Are you talking about uploads or downloads?

Thx.

The transfer mode is displayed in the status window, if you're unsure then paste your status log and we can tell you.

I forgot to note a few things, sorry.

First off, when I make file association changes now and before, it uses the windows settings not the FXP settings

That is why all my html and php opens in Notepad

Secondly, I dont think its the Xfer mode myself.

What is happeing (it only happens maybe every 6th time and more often when I change the window size

) is it gets all squished together excactly when I click "save"

I finish editing in notepad, click the X and it asks me to save, I click save and at that moment, I see it all get squished together.

Thanks again!

I still think the files are being sent in the wrong transfer mode. Perhaps by doing that the file format is slightly corrupted and that's what you get this unsual behavior with notepad.

Check the file association pattern, they should be *.php and *.html

Does this look right?

bigstar · 02-09-2004, 10:16 PM

Nope i'm afraid not, you need to add *. in front of each file extension.

*.html
*.htm
*.php
