Hm, this seems not to be case for me. How did you loose connection? Was it a timeout or network failure?

[lillolollo]

I use a wireless connetion and if there is a network failure i can't reconnect sftp
I can modify and save open file but if try to browse site folder i get error

FTP Error : Unable to change directory. sftp component not connected

and i can reconnect it

this is case for you..

[Karlis]

No, this does not happen for me.

and i can reconnect it

I'm confused. So can or can you not connect?

[lillolollo]

ops... I can't recconnect
I use xp professional

Ok, I think we shall wait for version 2010 and if the problem will still be there, we shall go from there. I hope it will be gone, though, because we have changed a lot

[lillolollo]

2010 not resolve the bug

I do not understand why does this bug happen to you only. If we could figure it out, it could be great. Have you tried to connect from other location (other internet connection)? Any changes? Have you tried to connect to other SFTP server?

This bug does not just happen to him ... also to me But I was a bit lazy the last months to post bugs Bug also applies in current WeBuilder version.

Karlis:
For instance try to set up a Linux VM with a SSH server. Connect to the box and shutdown or pause the box. After that it'll be impossible to use the FTP file explorer. You can not disconnect - you have to restart the IDE.

But the ftp explorer should get a whole feature and debugging session in my opinion. There is more then one thread, where other users and myself described bugs or feature requests in the past.

To sum it up:

1.
When the (S)FTP connection has been lost because of a timeout and I click in the FTP explorer (to change a dir for example) the connection should be automatically re-established, instead of showing an alert box that the connection has been lost and the connection must be re-established manually. I am not interested in connection timeouts!

2.
Follow symlinks correctly in (S)FTP explorer.
Example:

Code: Select all

/
|-- _sources/source_1.2.3
|-- html/
|---- dir1/
|---- dir2/
|---- dir3/
|---- dir4/
|---- dir_src --> symlink to ../_sources/source_1.2.3/

When I now change from html/ into dir_src/ and go one dir up in dir_src/ I am in _sources/, but I want to be back in html/

3.
Details view in (S)FTP Explorer, not only List. I want to see size, timestamp, attributes (and in addition via customizable columns - owner and group)

So what's up with those ?

SFTP code functionality (concerns 1. and 2.) is provided by a third party component (the only one for our development environment) so I guess I will have forward this to them. I suspect, though that FTP (non Secure) works almost as bad upon abnormal connection abruption (e.g. unplugged cable or standby). Connectivity components hate when you pull the plug without pretty disconnect and it is a pain to work around this (timeouts and stuff).

But why don't you intercept the alert message, that comes up when the connection is lost, and reconnect automatically in the background so that I don't have to care about disconnected or not? As I said, I am not interested in connection timeouts during work - I know that they appear, but to gain more usability you simply should reconnect to the last known folder followed by the command the user has triggered.

Thanks.

That might not be a bad idea after all. Not sure whether this is possible, but I shall take a look.
