Mass-Connection Option

slash · 05-03-2003, 10:59 PM

I've been using FlashFXP for a while now, and it gets really annoying when I'm trying to get into 5 different servers, and need three instances of FlashFXP open in order to do it. I would love to see an option where the user can enter a bunch of addresses, with username and password, and FlashFXP automatically tries to get in at the interval the user has set. Then if the connection is successful, a new FlashFXP instance could be popped open.

I know that this would save me a lot of effort!

Thanks for taking the time to read this... and did my ramblings make sense?

I understand what your asking, well I think I do..

However, I dont really see the difference between this & just opening a new instance.. I personally do not see the benefit in this, considering the work that would be involved.

My opinion anyway.

sounds like a complete redesign of the user interface *g*..

one "big" program window w/ many windows w/in 4 each connection...

and the capabilities to drag'n'drop files from each of'em to each other....multiple queue handling... much more to think of.........

that's not only a "simply" redesign of the user interface.
i'm sure it can be done in the upcoming release of FlashFXP v8.xx

maybe that make things easier to handle. but what if flashFXP hangs up? u loose every connection and/or transfers. with multiple instances of flashFXP u only loose one of'em...

but imho it sounds nice to me

I see what you guys are saying, but what I was thinking of really isn't that complex. (I hope...) I was just thinking of a little semi-independant app, like the scheduler. You could just add a bunch of sites, and if it gets in, it opens up a new copy of flashfxp with that connection. (Which I assume is the difficult part.)

And Shark, you're quite right about the ability to open up multiple copies of FlashFXP, I just find it kind of annoying when I'm trying to get into a lot of servers.

I understand your point & understand what you mean... once upon a time I also wanted to open many sites. But, I just had to open many copies... due to the current design, your suggestion is not possible.

Maybe with a re-write.. but as said many times, this is not a option in the near future.

Thank you for your suggestion, it is noted.
