Text of the page (random words):
ions under properties permissions are used on linux machines you can read more about them here http en wikipedia org wiki permissions basically it allows you to change who has access to your file and whether they can read it modify it or execute it what is generate hashes under properties generate hashes are used when you want to verify that a file is a bit for bit match of the file at the location you originally downloaded it from although rare sometimes a file can be corrupted when downloaded or uploaded a bit can change or could be lost a hash of a file gives you a short string of characters that uniquely identifies a file if the place where you downloaded the file from has a hash list for its files you can compare its hash with the one you generated from the file and see if they match if they do splendid all is well if they don t match then your file is corrupted and you should download it again there are five currently available hashes md5 sha1 sha256 sha384 sha512 they all do basically the same thing they uniquely identify a file but they are all different unique methods of doing so and will produce different sets of characters for your file use the hash that matches what the place you download the file from uses it will usually say somewhere what hash they are using if not then it s usually md5 what does properties incl contents do what properties incl contents does differently than the normal vanilla properties is it looks at the folder s selected and also the contents of the folder s the reason that this has to be separate from just regular properties in fireftp for now is because doing something like this can be a bit time consuming and hard for the computer to do depending on if there are a lot of things that a folder contains but it is definitely useful because it lets you know how many files and folders a folder contains and what the total size of the folder ends up being when adding up all its contents options what is show welcome message when you connect to an ftp server there will be a welcoming message saying hey what s up welcome to our server look don t touch yadda yadda or something along those lines this preference just turns off the dialog that pops up when you connect i personally just turn it off because i find it annoying what is show error messages if an error occurs a dialog will pop up telling you so if you uncheck this box a dialog will not appear notifying you of the error however it will still appear in the log it s recommended to keep this checked what is remember passwords it s just what it says really if you uncheck this box passwords won t be saved you can also leave the password field blank in the account manager and fireftp will ask you for the password when connecting if any what is cache directory listings unchecking this box will refresh a directory every time you visit it on the remote side checking it will cache the list of directories so navigating the remote file list will be faster however sometimes this means that your file list could get outdated if so you should hit refresh in fireftp not firefox to update the directory listing it s recommended to keep this checked what is auto refresh having auto refresh checked means it will refresh the directory to reflect the new changes that have been made after you ve completed a file transfer if it is unchecked then you will need to manually refresh the directory to see the changes you have made it is recommended to keep this checked the advantage of turning it off sometimes is that it is faster working with fireftp if you are doing multiple transfers what is show hidden files it s just what it says really if you check this box hidden files will magically appear what is display number of bytes for file sizes it s just what it says really if you check this box in the size columns the number will be in bytes and not in kilobytes what is start fireftp in a new window tab it s just what it says really you can have fireftp open in a tab or a new window the choice is yours and is a matter of uh preference what is configure ftp links in firefox to automatically use fireftp when you click on an ftp link in firefox usually what happens is a file is downloaded using the default download manager this is fine for most cases personally even as creator of fireftp it s still how i download my ftp files i use fireftp mostly for managing website content so for most people it s just fine to stick with the default firefox behavior it really is fine and works well however sometimes people like the feel of using an ftp client when downloading ftp files so you can check this box and the next time you click on an ftp link fireftp will take over and handle the download for you the associated checkbox with this is use passive mode for these connections i talk about passive mode in this faq in a previous question and you can read my answer there an ftp link is setup like this by the way ftp username password host path to something txt examples include ftp ftp debian org ftp bob ftp debian org ftp bob mycrazypassword ftp debian org so in order to not log in anonymously when clicking a link from firefox the link would need to include your username and password information what is the double click pressing enter setting you can change here what you would like the default action to be when you double click or press enter on a file what is show log in main window you can uncheck this to hide the log the dialog between fireftp and the server from view what is show only errors in log it s just what it says really you can check this to only show text in the log when things go wrong what is show debug information you can have the log show some extra information that would be useful to me as a programmer in debugging fireftp if you think you ve found a bug in fireftp be sure to check this box so that i can assess the problem more easily what is proxy most people will not have to deal with setting this but if you are using a proxy you can configure it here fireftp does not use the firefox proxy settings because of the multiple ways one can connect to an ftp server through proxy http socks etc you can read more about proxies here http en wikipedia org wiki proxy_server what is limit ports when in active mode this is a place where you can specify a certain range of ports to use it is recommended to keep this disabled except for advanced users what is max simultaneous transfers you can have up to 10 separate simultaneous connections to an ftp server if the server and your bandwidth allow it you can increase the value of this to make downloading files significantly faster as a common courtesy however you should avoid bogging down the server you are connecting to by overloading it too much with just your requests hence the maximum of 10 show your server some love what is network timeout when fireftp sends a command for a server to do something and the server doesn t respond fireftp will wait this many seconds before try reconnecting to the server and trying again what is keep connection alive while idle if you re busy doing other things while using fireftp servers have a tendency to boot you off after three minutes or so due to inactivity you can check this box to keep you active on the server even if you re not doing anything with fireftp this doesn t guarantee that you won t be booted off but it usually increases the time to about 30 minutes before you are booted by the way if you are booted fireftp will automatically try to reconnect for you depending if you have the preference enabled what is if disconnect try to reconnect retry delay retry attempts if something happens to your ftp connection fireftp will try to get it back for you it will wait the amount of seconds in retry delay before trying again and it will try the number of times that is in retry attempts before giving up what is automatic mode binary mode ascii mode ascii file types when transferring text files there are differences between windows and linux machines in the way the files are formatted read about it here so you can use ascii mode to transfer a file safely and ask the ftp server to convert it the proper format alternatively you can turn on automatic mode and using the ascii file types list specify which file extensions would trigger a safe ascii mode transfer for most purposes binary mode is just fine binary mode must be used when dealing files like images applications zip files doc files and just about everything that it isn t purely text about the only time you ever need to turn on ascii mode is for cgi scripts what is disable timer in overwrite dialog it s just what it says really if you check this box there will be no timer that automatically chooses for you when asking to overwrite the timer is useful to keep because if you are transferring many files and you leave your computer for a while while it s transferring then it will automatically pick resume for a partially downloaded uploaded file and it will pick skip for files that already exist however some people like the timer feature some don t what is don t display overwrite dialog simply overwrite this is useful let s say for web developers i know my local copy of my file is going to be newer than the copy that s on the server so i don t want to be bothered being asked do i want to overwrite the file every time just freakin do it but then again i live dangerously so for most users it is recommended to leave this unchecked what is use compression if enabled fireftp will use compression mode z to make transfers and retrieval of directory listings faster this can make for a substantial speed up in file transfers if you re on a slow network especially text files the ftp server must be configured to allow the mode z command for this option to work what is keep timestamps in sync if enabled fireftp will attempt to keep the dates and times on the files you upload and download the same the ftp server must be configured to allow the mdtm command for this option to work what is check integrity of file transfers xmd5 xsha1 if enabled fireftp will do a hash check after a file transfer this is used to verify that every bit of the file has transfered correctly although rare sometimes a file can be corrupted when downloaded or uploaded and a bit can change or could be lost a hash of a file gives you a short string of characters that uniquely identifies a file if the ftp server s hash of the file and fireftp s hash match then splendid all is well if they don t match then your file is corrupted and you should transfer it again the ftp server must be configured to allow the xmd5 or xsha1 command for this option to work tools how does the search filter feature work fireftp s search function will allow you to search and filter through your local or remote files to find the files that you need select local or remote first to pick which side to search through you can set look in subdirectories to make the search go through the subdirectories match case will make the search case sensitive regular expression is an advanced method of searching you can read the wikipedia article to find out more specify dates will let you do just that you can search for multiple terms by separating them by a space e g jpg png gif you can exclude items by adding the minus sign in front of the term e g jpg cats you can require items by adding the plus sign in front of the term e g jpg cats you can put items in quotes so that they aren t treated like separate terms e g cha said the kitty jpg to exit search mode click the x on the far left of the search bar or either refresh the directory or visit another directory note when look in subdirectories is enabled some features are disabled e g cut copy paste if a search with look in subdirectories is performed on the local side firefox may seem to become unresponsive this is because you may have a large number of files that fireftp has to look through this apparent freezing issue should hopefully be resolved in future versions of fireftp another note nuance excluded terms those with a minus sign in front also means fireftp won t look at the contents of directories that match the excluded term however required terms those with a plus sign in front means fireftp will look at the contents of directories regardless of whether that directory matches the required term the idea is that if you wanted to require a directory you would just start the search from that directory on the other hand there are times that you want to exclude a certain directory perhaps with a very deep structure and for that you would use the minus sign what does sync directories do
