Local and remote ftp view

Post by Black »

I'd like to see an option to split the folder view horizontally, so that you can view the remote folderlist and a local folderlist. This would be nice for comparing file dates/sizes etc.

If this were added, each ftp bookmark could have an option to automatically load a local path. Selecting upload should be able to then transfer the selected file/s to the remote view.

I would more than happy if this could be achieved just opening two windows, one local and one remote.

This feature should already be available however if I open two windows and try to drag and drop a file it just springs back to the starting window.

Some other times I get a ssh connection error.

Question: is this trick supposed to work and if yes, what am I doing wrong here?

I'd like to see this feature too, configure a local folder for each bookmark. Thanks!

I'd ask that this *not* be added. Finder does a much better job at this than cyberduck could.

I think it's difficult to put two windows side by side (cyberduck and finder) to drag and drop files... :roll:

Drag, cmd+tab, drop

Expose, drag, unexpose, drop

I'm not sure where this is difficult

It's what I do, I don't think it's so difficult....

And, with the finder, you can open many windows at the same time. It goes much faster. :wink:

I'd also suggest *not* adding this feature. It's inelegant and largely unnecessary.

Just to make it clear once again; there is no need for a local view and won't be added to any future version of Cyberduck.

That's the one feature that makes me buy Transmit or another FTP client. I hate not being able to see both local and remote files at once in one application.

Why? Other applications already do file management better..

Because, with 10+ windows open I hate trying to find two windows, the one with the file and the one with the ftp application. I know some people like expose or have other solutions, but personally don't see how anything is easier than having all my local files next to my remote files in one app.

I understand that the finder does file management better and all that jazz. I'm just putting in my opinion.

I second that. I also put CyberDuck and Finder windows side by side to drag drop files.

I love expose soooooo much that I find myself trying to do that even on Windows.... :razz:

As far as I am concerned, the interesting thing would be having two windows open on two different (remote) servers, and drag and drop between the two of them.

If I remember correctly, when I tried it didn't work..
