try to show file size "correctly"

despite files being identical,

the server file size is always different from the local one -- size-wise and date-wise.

Is it possible to achieve identical copies or more exact "reports"?


hmmm, there was sth else...

date wise:
tools -> settings -> transfers -> files -> post transfer actions -> keep file time

size wise:

it should only happen with ascii files. maybe the server is a unix box. ftp does line endings conversion in this case. unix boxes uses Linefeed (n, LF) as line endings. windows uses Carriage Return and Linefeed ( rn. CRLF ). ( mac uses carriage return only (CR, r) ) so transfering the files to your box adds 1 byte per line. this maybe explains the differences of the file size. if you want to avoid this transfer all files with binary. this requires a text editor which can handle all different line ending types. notepad e.g. doesnt. http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html e.g. does.

hope this helps.

p.s.: wrong forum. :)

thanks!

and the else thing was and is:


enable the disconnect icon as long as there is only 1 ftp browser window open, so one can click it even if the focus is on a local browser window for example.



(or is this supefluous because one can just close smartFTP and disconnection ocurs automatically?)
