Rapid PHP: FTP (Save/Open) does not show all files

Post by pientka »

I have been using Rapid PHP for several months and I have had this issue intermittently. When I use "File->Save/Open to/from FTP" I do not see all of my files. This happens at work, most often, where I am behind a firewall but it also happens occasionally at home (no firewall). When I use another FTP client I can ALWAYS see all the files.

I usually end up using another FTP client to download the file locally then open it in Rapid PHP (File->Open) then using File->Save to FTP to save it.

I love the program but this issue is frustrating!

Rapid PHP 2006 ver 7.0.3.69

Are you sure this isn't a project specific problem? I taken to setting my projects to 'all files' instead of adding files as they come up.

1. Projects>Manage Projects
2. Select a project from the list
3. click edit
4. select everything in "files of type" and delete it
5. replace with "*.*" (no quotes)

Seems to work well for me but I rarely do a file>open/save to ftp. I usually dev locally, FTP the whole lot with filezilla and then connect to the FTP via the Webuilder explorer to open/edit/save documents.

I rarely use projects and in this case I am not. The problem is not that I am missing files of a certain type but I am seeing only some of my PHP files. The files are shown in the Browse FTP window in alphabetical order and depending on the number of files in the directory I may see only a*.php - i*.php but I will see files of other types after i*.php (e.g. s*.htm).

How many files do you have there? I have never experienced this and only one customer has reported this during last two years.

Does it happen on two different computers?

Does it happen on different FTP servers or only with one particular connection?

If you re-connect, can you see all of the files?

There is 196 files and 27 folders. I noticed yesterday that not all of the folder are shown.

I just tried to repeatedly refresh and after 3-4 I get the complete list. If I refresh again I lose it (I see the same subset). I refresh some more and it takes several refreshes before I see the complete list.

I have not experienced the issue on other FTP servers but I don't have others with that many files.

I will see if I can try it from another PC.

To reiterate I do not have this issue with other FTP clients (I tried 3) on the same PC.
