Caching dir structure & offline/during_transfer browsing

DaveBG · 04-20-2005, 06:46 AM

Can you add an option to cache during the manual browsing and/or an automated solution to automatically cash entire structure from "/" or from the current folder. Then it will be faster to browse the FTP site from the cache while off line or transferring - this does not open another connection to the FTP server.
For example you can see this app (http://www.bpftp.com) wich does this, but i prefer FlashFXP more so i need this features here!

10x in advance!

Can someone answer me please?

Will we soon see offline browsing?; In the 4.x versions?; Never?!

It`s cool to browse faster offline, and refresh only when the contents is changed ... don`t you think so? Most of us don`t have 2Mbit+ internet connection, and is essential to save time reloading same, and same folder listings avery day...

Well AFAIK this feature is reserved for the rewrite of FlashFXP. And that won't happen anytime soon...

you don't need 2mbit+ connection to browse ftp sites with good speed. even 56k is sufficient.
also flashfxp does have dir caching. if you take a look at status log when you CD to a cached dirs, you'll see something like

Quote:

[L] CDUP
[L] 250 CWD command successful.
[L] PWD
[L] 257 "/" is current directory.
[L] List (cached)

as for offline browsing, i think it's planned for the next version of flashfxp
