Feature Request: Right-Down-Load
« on: July 18, 2008, 08:38:10 PM »
This is a great tool for putting files up on a server, but what about getting files down?

If you could add a feature to download files from ftp that'd be really cool.

What I mean is, allow registering a "root" local folder with RightLoad and assign ftp credentials and a remote root directory to it, then whenever you're in that directory, in your RightLoad menu for a file/folder it assumes the file structure is the same and if it finds the file you're looking for, you now have the option of Download(overwrite, maybe make this configurable so you can make it not show up, reduce mistakes), and Download Copy (renamed).

Now it's a two way street, so you can have synchronized folders on your local machine, and easily sync specific files, weather the new version is local or remote.

That sounds like you are looking for a sync app rather than a normal FTP client. I don't think this will ever become part of Rightload, since it would require a lot of changes to the code, but I'm pretty sure there are other programs that can do that kind of thing. Have you tried googling for "ftp sync" or something like that yet?
