FTP folders tree

[vaegas]

Hi,
My question: is possible to make ftp folder tree like is in file explorer not just browsing folder to folder.

Thanks.

No, it is not possible to change FTP folder tree view.

Hi Nikolajs ... just curious why this is?

I have a previous recent post asking about this very thing, the problem (actually a very cumbersome problem) is navigating 6, 7, + ... levels in and out of folders ... I particularly work on several copies of the same trunk (multi-tasking several tasks for the same trunk) currently it's not possible to know what folder level your in without backing completely out to a common base folder and then re-entering the folders again ... being able to see what folder I'm in and for which copy of the trunk I'm in would help greatly ... also being able to click once on a root level folder to change to it would be much faster than clicking either the elipse or up folder button 6, 7, + times to go back ...

A split pane like the local File Explorer would be extremely useful for FTP/SFTP for the reasons I state above ...

I'm editing the posting because I want to note that because of this it really makes using WeBuilder a lot more difficult without having to use something like WinSCP ...

I have the same request. This is really a deal breaker for me as due to the nature of what I do, I have to use (S)FTP extensively.

This is what I'm looking for:
Break the explorer into 2 panels, one at the top, one at the bottom (resizeable).
Top panel is directory structure, for FTP this works like winscp in that it only gets populated once you're entered that folder and other folders can now bee seen.
Bottom panel, File list with file details (not just a list) with date and time, *permissions*, owner, group, filesize, etc. also similar to winscp.

Please explain why this is

not possible to change

when obviously other programs (winscp, filezilla) and competitors (phpDesigner 8) have figured it out.

Thanks for your time and explanation.

I think what Nikolajs meant was that it's currently not possible in WeBuilder, not that it's a technical impossibility. I'll add +1 for this request.
