Wappler FTP not an improvement over FileZilla

Wappler General
#10

A FEATURE perhaps down the road in development for Wappler –

User can Assign just the files in the Project Folder that contain the Application so far, or the Completed Application as ASSOCIATED with Each other.

So that the User wants to open up a Wappler Project folder created last week or so …
the User could specify JUST OPEN ALL THE APPLICATION ONLY Files.

the file navigator will highlight the files now open while, also, those Application files are open in the Editor.

In other words – not all Project files are equal
At some point the User wants to just SEE The Application files distinctly .

If the user enters multiple projects It would be helpful to have the Complete Application ONLY files opened.

Nothing is that complicated if you built it and understood the reason for your own logic in the first place

#12

Thank you, Teodor!

I appreciate your time in reading and responding! :+1: :+1:

#13

I am not sure I understand the complicated logic behind your multiple apps/projects explanation but:
You should create a separate project per application. There is no such thing as multiple apps in a same Wappler project definition/folder.

Each separate app must be in separate folder and in separate Wappler project.

#14

Have you tried excluding the files of your choice as in

I don’t think it’s that simple either - I wish it were. As I describe here, saving a file can upload other files which you have not chosen to upload - with potentially disastrous consequenes.

#16

Tom, you are referring to a totally different thing - uploading the latest versions of the Bootstrap 4 files.

#17

I have quoted the relevant part above. I would have thought the issue is controlling what files are uploaded to the server (which might or might not include Bootstrap 4 files).

#18

This happened to us several times (at first we thought it was us but definitely not the case, multiple Projects have had files uploaded without our intervention) and we did not select to synchronize anything. We believe it happened when Wappler opened the Project and without notification uploaded everything. Some notifications of what is being updated would be great, I think I remember the older DMX extensions providing a notification of updated files that require uploading? This is far more sensible then uploading blindly.

#19

We have never uploaded the ‘_pgbackup’ directory to any of our Projects knowingly, ever (one of our designers uses Pinegrow). Yet it has been uploaded. I’m sure Wappler doesn’t need to update this? :wink:

#20

Hi Dave,
Please check George’s reply. Wappler does not upload “everything” it most probably uploaded the Bootstrap 4 or App Connect files:

Also, the message you mention were not related to the DW extensions we offer, but this is how DW sync works.

This year we will introduce a whole new publishing workflow, which will let you control everything so such thing won’t happen.

#21

Well, if you click the Publish button this folder will be uploaded. In no other circumstances a random folder is auto uploaded.

#22

Never clicked that button Teodor!! Have been around bit… Quite aware of what files are on my server and what should not be there.

#23

We do not auto upload random folders Dave. Our scripts auto upload our own frameworks.
You either clicked upload or publish button - no other ways for this to happen.

#24

I can assure you it is not me manually uploading these files (I am responsible for server uploads). No other program has automatic ftp access aside from Wappler. We use another ftp client outside of Wappler most of the time and we do not upload folders like the Pinegrow example so something is happening that maybe is not known about? Am not having a pop just letting you know Wappler IS uploading these items.

#25

I’m going to blame Quantum Pollution. :smiley:

#26

Dave, i already explained you what and when we check, update and upload and what are the two possible reasons for such a folder to be uploaded on your server.

Turning this topic into a chat room isn’t really helpful.

#28

In what context? It’s a serious issue that we are being told we are imagining to some regard. Not the case Teodor. I tried to make light of a serious situation that is not being acknowledged. In what way is this turning it in to a chat room? What is a forum? Come on Teodor don’t get mad at me it’s really unfair mate. This is not a wind-up it is incredibly serious.

#29

The only issue, if it can be called like that is that when a new version of app connect OR bootsrap 4 is added to Wappler, as soon as you save your page - we check the files timestamps and auto upload them to the server. These are the only files which will ever get auto uploaded.

In no circumstance, different than clicking publish or upload buttons Wappler will or is able to auto upload a random folder to your server.

This:

I really don’t have anything else to say on this topic.
