Show him WHO'S the boss to that quicksort algorithm...

Sorting now works.

I've prepared an early prealpha version of FileZilla 3 for you to play around with.
Please DO NOT report bugs or request any feature, wait with that until I release official beta version on project page.
Here's the link: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/test/fz3.zip
(I'm sorry, Win32 only. If you're using Linux feel free to compile it yourself, shame of you if you can't)

Excellent!

But I can't connect via SFTP, remote dir is not working, no settings... NAH! I'm just kidding BotG

Did you start getting angry there? Damn I'm just _so_ funny...

Anyways, prealpha/alpha/beta versions is exciting, look forward to more of them in the future.

Time for some fun: Port the path and directory listing parsers

Well, actually it's all but fun reading my old code, time to create some improvements.

I'll create a new tokenizer for the new listing parser, it should be a lot more flexible.

I'd love to, but for some reason I can't retrieve the source from the CVS repository... used both commandline, and Mandrake's "Cervisia" client.
Is that command correct for the FZ3 files?
cd /home/myself/cvs/filezilla && cvs -f -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:2401/cvsroot/filezilla/FileZilla 3
It replies "Unknown command: `3'" and quits, I have also used underscore (Filezilla_3), no luck either.

I use :pserver:anonymous@cvs.filezilla.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/filezilla and then specify module "Filezilla 3"...

cvs server: cannot find module `3' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
[Exited with status 1]
EDIT: Adding the quotes it works... weird. Thanks for the tip.

Why is it weird? The module name contains a space, so it's obvious that it has to be quoted.

I've finished the CServerPath class, now it's time for the dirlisting parser, this may take some days...

#55 Post by **botg** » 2004-04-28 19:06

The directory listing parser is coming along nicely, despite the date/time, it can already parse standard listings.

#56 Post by **botg** » 2004-05-04 15:48

The new parser now understands all known unix style listings. Now I've to add support for DOS, VMS and EPLF style listings.

Hi there,

I was so happy to see that finaly somebody take on the job to create a full featured gui ftp client for linux that i wanted to try it out already but with no luck.

This is the error i recieved when building:

Code: Select all

directorylistingparser.cpp: In member function `bool
   CDirectoryListingParser::ParseAsUnix(CLine*, CDirentry&)':
directorylistingparser.cpp:679: error: name lookup of `i' changed for new ISO

Can't wait to try it out

.

The error should be fixed in CVS.

About the progress, the parsed test directory listing is already passed to the remote file list, I'm currently writing the code that will display the listings. Expect a screenshot tomorrow.

Today I want to show you how FileZilla looks under Linux:

As you can easily see, there's still very much to do.

I've improved the build system for the gettext catalogs. It's now works together with the rest of the FZ3 build system.

Update: My multiline wxTextCtrl subindentation patch for wxWidgets got accepted today. I've already ideas for the next patch
