I'm going to second the suggestion that back function in a way that's consistent with other apps. You do the right thing where back from the "Device Browser" screen goes back to the remote view. But then things get weird when you hit the button to go back to the remote view, since hitting back from there will knock you out of browse entirely instead of going "back" to the device browser. Most android apps avoid having such "UI loops" for just such a reason.

In any case, using back to go up directories is very natural for an app like this, and getting disconnected instead is very jarring. I understand that it's a bit technically challenging to do this properly, because you'd have to cache the previous directory views. (Doing a directory refresh on a back action takes too long to give the proper responsiveness to a back button press, especially when going back to a large directory.)

Back has been implemented to AndExplorer 1.3 and it works in AndFTP 1.3 now. We're going to release quickly. We need to fix to bug reported for specific FTP server first.

First, let me thank the developer(s) for this USEFUL application. :)

I would really like to be able to change file(folder's) permissions that are located in the phone beginning from ./

If it's not possible to add this feature, I'ld understand.

Thanks,
Xtrigit

- Run as Intent (login, password, host, paths).
+1 :P
i am developping an application to remotly control a pvr (french application only, sorry, this pvr is provided by a french ADSL provider) where the recorded video are available on a FTP server. So it would be very very convenient to be able to launch directly andftp from my application.

Of course it would be even better if it was possible to automate some operations (list, download, etc.) from the intent and that andftp returns operation results to the caller.

In the mean time i will just add a simple shortcut to andftp from my application. I really hope you will add this feature soon.

Thierry.

thanks for the great app. not sure if this is already included - is it possible to NOT save the password on the client for security reasons? in other words, is there an option to have to manually always enter in the password for your saved connection(s)? if not, please add.

THANKS AGAIN.

Yes, this feature is already available. Just leave username/password blank in setup.

It would be good to have one single password access into the application that removed all ftp information if it was incorrectly entered more than a certain number of times. Once you where in the application you could access your accounts by just selecting the connect button rather than having to input the password each time.

Once the correct password was entered the number of failed attempts would reset back to the original number of attempts allowed. The number of attempts could be set in the preferences.

It's too dangerous to have no security. What if you lost your phone?

To have to put in password and username each time is just too annoying.

Another option would be to empty the username and password fields if the number of failed attempts had been reached without deleting the ftp details.
