Hi,
Based on TheQwerty's idea of creating an html page for a second panel, I played a bit to create a -useless- ftp client.

"FTP : ftp"
input $address, "Server Address:";
open "cmd" /c echo ^<html^> ^<script language="javascript"^>document.location="ftp://$address"^</script^> ^</html^> ><curpath>\ftp.html;
msg "Press Enter to access the requested FTP location";
goto "<curpath>\ftp.html";
#174;

Some notes:

- Instead of using the clipboard to create a new file, which always stops to rename it, I use the command line "echo" statement.

- The msg "Press Enter..." is necessary, otherwise the goto statement is executed before echo has a chance to create the html file, and an error message is displayed (any way to generate a pause?)

- The format for Address would be "username:password@serveraddress"

- The only way to make it a little useful, is to copy the files to upload to the clipboard before executing the query. Then, when the ftp is show, right-click -> paste.
Same for downloading. It's a one time operation, since the preview panel will display another file when click on the main panel.

If there was a setting to "lock" the preview panel, it could probably help. Just an experiment anyway.

Nice experiment! Clever use of cmd echo...

Yes, if the Preview could be locked you could even -- clumsily -- work with it.

Hi, is there an scripting commando like pause, wait or sleep?
Just now i use
while $a <100000 {incr $a};
to wait till my share is mapped before i can goto.

TIA

Yes, a non-documented one: wait msecs

example:
wait 1000; //wait 1 second

Fine Thank you.
