file transfer overrite settings

#1 Post by Words » 2004-04-28 21:05

When I upload to my site I have the 'file overwrite' set to ask me what to do. It does and I click to overwrite and also tick the box saying keep using this setting. Everything then overwrites, as it should :)

When I then want to download my logs folder I want to be able to be more selective (I only need the updated files), but if I have already uploaded as just mentioned, I don't seem to get a choice. Everything downloads automatically (it keeps the overwrite setting). So I download 1MB instead of 100kb :(

Is there anyway to reset the overwrite selection between uploading and downloading?

Thanks

Look into the transfer menu under "File overwrite settings", just select ask there.

That doesn't work :( -- oh I see what you mean!

I've got 'Ask' selected as my default.

Oh I see what's happening. When I upload 20-30 files I tick the dialog box for "Overwrite" which says "use this action every time". Then when I download, the "Overwrite" command is now the new default. Really I only want to use Overwrite on uploads... I want to use "overwrite if newer" for downloads.

So I guess the immediate solution is to go back to the menu each time I start a new process and select the action from there.

So can I make a request? Would it be possible to provide a choice on the dialog box to *not* make the chosen option (overwrite all files) the default for subsequent processes? Feel cheeky asking as it's a great prog and I really enjoy using it!
