Save & Upload - Can FTP be ran in background?

[Ben Pere]

Hey Folks,

Well I code a lil ajax project with php, javascript and mysql and due to many reasons I test it all online.. so I turned CTRL+SHIFT+S to do the "Save and Upload to FTP" and I use it pretty much whenever I save.

The problem is, each time that annoying FTP window comes up, logs in, and ask me if I wanna overwrite the file.. and it's freakin' me, 'cuz it's like 5-10 seconds I can't go on working and since I use it a lot especially when debugging my javascript I spend more time waiting for the FTP thingy then coding. and the FTP is modal window so I can't go back or do anything until it finishes..

So, what I wanna know is if there's a way to throw that thing to the background.. u know either have the status in status bar or have a new pane for that.. as long as it doesn't take over webuilder i'll be happy..

The second thing I was wondering about is if there's an option to tell it I WANNA OVERRIDE MY FILES!!! in the manage projects I think such an option should be added because I know at least one person who's gonna use this option to the max

Cheers,
- Ben

(moved this to feature requests).

If you open the files from FTP and hit save, it doesn't ask you about overwrite each time. It does still have a little window up but it's pretty speedy. I'd love for it to dissappear too. I pretty sure this is 'on the list'.

I agree with the thread, the overwrite question should be optional.
It would be great to be a per project configuration, or it could be a button
that shows the first time and says "always overwrite from now on", until webuilder is closed. In any case, it is quite a pain to click the overwrite every time I upload. (I do it often since the server is not in the local machine)

I also vote for background FTP

another vote for the option (overwrite without window)

However, i would like this function to only remember these settings (like overwrite without prompt) till I exit the program. Next time I start the program (thats not a new upload, but exit -> restart weBuildeR) I would like to see the prompt again.
