FTP / File Saving/Uploading functions sketchy at the moment!

[Crazy Serb]

I would just like to see something done to the FTP functionality of this software...

Sure, there are Project/Folder/FTP panes and whatnot, but there still is no ability to right click on a folder (or select multiple files) in the Project pane for example and choose "Upload to FTP". That would be such a time saver (for those of us who deal with hundreds of scripts/files on a regular basis), that just because of this feature I had to stop using Rapid PHP and move back to NuSphere PHPed (you might want to take some tips on that FTP integration from them!)

Also, the ability to bypass that prompt to "overwrite" or "skip" all files/none every time I want to upload a file, or at least set a default of some sorts that will apply all the time, that would be a great life saver too... but this way at the moment, not only am I unable to upload multiple files and/or folders (and I gotta select them all one by one) but I am unable to bypass the overwrite/skip prompt every single time. Can you see how annoying that can get?

Please do something about this soon...

On the Project tab is the Publish button which can do at least some of what you want; select all files, remember selection and publish with one click. I agree the FTP side is a little weird at first but i am used to it now. I have CuteFTP Pro for stuff I can't do with WeBuilder; after all, it is an editor, not an FTP client.

A 'remember my choice' option would be handy for overwrite prompts.

Yeah, I noticed that Publish button, but that doesn't help much - it publishes all the files in the project, and since most of my projects have hundreds of files/images/etc, that function is pretty useless (if not time wasting) when I want to publish just a single folder, or a select few files...

And switching over to an FTP client is the step that can be avoided (thus reducing the time needed to get the files up on a server) - Dreamweaver and NuSphere PHPed realized the importance of it and have it tightly integrated into their software...

Fair enough. Hopefully someone is listening and will take what youn suggest on-board.

Welcome to the group.

We shall see if it is possible to improve the Project pane so that you can select multiple files and upload them at once. Most likely this will not happen in nearest future. However, we will improve the window "Publish Project To FTP" under Main Menu; Projects.
For now, we can suggest you to use "Publish Project To FTP" to upload more than one file at once.

Also, the ability to bypass that prompt to "overwrite" or "skip" all files/none every time I want to upload a file, or at least set a default of some sorts that will apply all the time, that would be a great life saver too...

You can switch off the Overwrite Prompt under FTP Options; Tab "General" make sure you disable the checkbox "Display Overwrite Prompt".

Oh man, I didn't even know that option window existed.... you might wanna try and put it in the regular "Options -> Preferences" window instead? Even knowing it exists now, it took me 3 minutes to find it...
