FluentFTP github page could use a discussion tab? #1660

Open markat1 opened 4 weeks ago

markat1 commented 4 weeks ago

I really could use a discussion tab on fluentFTP's github page.

Would that be something you guys could add to your github site?

Why do I ask?

I would like to ask wether it's possible to subscribe on ftp command events via FluentFTP, because I would like to se wether it's possible to make a solution where I don't have to pull a ftp every 5 seconds.

I think that's more a discussion point than an issue.

I find that useful sometimes, also.

We typically keep this kind of thing on a lower key basis, though.

Discussions, in some cases, are simply a disguised feature request popularity poll.

I think that:

  1. Anyone can open an issue and title it a "[Discussion] ......". Nobody here will ignore that and it will be responded to.

  2. Often, especially on technical issues, some kind of discussion will "erupt" before things are decided.

I would like to ask wether it's possible to subscribe on ftp command events via FluentFTP, because I would like to se wether it's possible to make a solution where I don't have to pull a ftp every 5 seconds.

You might want to expand on that a little bit.

One thing: Having "events" has been requested before. By one, maybe two or three users. There were more important things for us to work on.

wether it's possible to make a solution (sic)

You can ask that here in this issue. Clarify your problem, please.

@FanDjango basically what I want is ability to "subscribe" to events on a certain ftp folders.

So when files are being added to a particular folder I would be notified.

That way I don't have to pull and check ftp for new files every 5 seconds (not super great for ftp) - I will only pull, when I get notified.

If there is more support for this, it can be added. My only reason for keeping it off was to reduce the number of places people post things. As in, there are some who will invariably post bugs on the discussions tab, and some who will post QnA on the issues tab. It's bound to happen.

We typically keep this kind of thing on a lower key basis, though.

Also agreed. As we are just 2 main maintainers of this library, we try to close issues as they come up, and focus on problems.

We let users figure out use cases on their own. All QnA are tagged appropriately. See:

  1. faq
  2. question

Split this into a new issue for the feature request : https://github.com/robinrodricks/FluentFTP/issues/1661

Please continue all discussion about the FTP monitor in that new issue.
