Yummy Software

It's me again. :D

1) SSH Tunnelling
Sometimes I've to connect to a server without remotely available ftp ports, so I have to open a ssh tunnel to an available server in that subnet with the terminal, redirecting a local port to the server I want to connect to and finally connect with Yummy to that local port. That works, but, well, it's the terminal. Since MacOSX already has SSH built in, an integration of some more SSH functionality into YummyFTP probably could be done easily. I'd suggest a third form in the bookmark details, possibly similar to the options the SQL client "Navicat" offers.
Maybe I'm a bit off, but as far as I can see SFTP doesn't allow a different server to proxy the SSH connection, right?

2) FXP
In theory a nice thing, but almost nobody knows it and I don't even know a single mac app that supports it. Well, at least no ftp clients (some servers do).

3) Preferences like "System Preferences"
That's just cool IMHO.

4) Folder Resume
When downloading huge folders, some servers might get stuck (or their firewalls hate me or whatever) and the connection is gone. At 90% of some hundred megabytes, I don't want to redownload everything, but I also can't just skip the already downloaded files because that might leave a partial file (which typically tends to be the most important one). So I'm proposing a "Smart Folder Resume" function that skips the complete files and resumes the partial ones. Comparison by filesize would work for me (and checking the file type, of course), as I suppose ftp servers don't provide MD5 hashes or something similar when getting a listing.

1) SSH tunnel
So, you'd like a new connection type in addition to FTP and SFTP, named FTP-SSH, correct? This is already on my 'To Do' list

2) FXP
Actually, at least two well known FTP clients do support this. I have plans to add it also, although it's not widely supported by servers due to security concerns.

3) Preferences like "System Preferences"
Sure. It's just a visual thing, and therefore low on my priority list, but it is already planned.

4) Folder Resume
The automatic reconnect/resume functionality in Yummy FTP will handle this for you. The only time it won't is if you actually quit Yummy FTP or manually cancel the transfer. In the latter two cases I can see the need for this. For now, until I can add this functionality directly, you should be able to use the Synchronize feature, with Update Mac and Compare by size options set. This will do the same thing.

Thanks a lot!
