1) Maybe also add a startup first time tip for how to connect to an FTP server. Isn't very clear as it is in 1.9.24.

2) If I'm trying to connect to an FTP server it gives me no waring that it can't connect (Credentials aren't correct or server is not available/offline), Just loads constantly. Then changing the address wont cancel the previous connection and doesn't bring up the credential popup.

3) Should also allow saving FTP addresses to the network drives section and pin folders with in the FTP server to the favorites section.

4) Better icons support like folder icons should be windows equivalent rather than the monochrome one and know file types should use the associated program (e.g. .txt uses visuals studio from me so it show that icon) and the white blank file windows uses for unknown ones.

Thanks for the feedback.

saving FTP addresses to the network drives

You should be already able to do that from the "map Network drive" dialog

pin folders with in the FTP server to the favorites section

~You should be already able to do that, don't you have the option in the context menu?~ you're right, there's only the pin to start option

Better icons support like folder icons

It should be already showing the windows icons, do you only see the monochrome icons? Sounds like a bug. Does the ftp server you're using require credentials?

1.Didn't think it supported them since its the windows dialog. ~ill give it ago~ Works

3.No it's in anonymous mode.. It only seem to happen when entering the address from the search bar. Using the windows dialog and saving it work fine.

When adding, removing or renaming an FTP connection the side bar doesn't update until files reloaded.

Path bar doesn't recognize ftps://

hez2010 commented 3 years ago

Some FTP servers are providing different contents depending on credentials, we should add the ability to login not using anonymous even if it can be logged in with anonymous.

hez2010 commented 3 years ago

Also, we should make it possible to login to the same server but with different credentials in different tabs. The current credential saving logic is not in good fit IMO. (we should cache credentials for per-tab, not per server host)

@gave92 is this list up to date?

gave92 commented 1 year ago

Yeah should be

lukeblevins commented 1 year ago

@yaira2 Is this a bug or feature issue?

yaira2 commented 1 year ago

@lukeblevins it's a feature but we should probably split it into several issues.
