Title: Remote Shell Commands Post by: spacific on January 23, 2009, 10:33:12 PM The "Remote Shell Commands" menu items should really not be active for FTP, right? As they cannot be issued under FTP, Yummy just hangs waiting for a response.
Title: Re: Remote Shell Commands Post by: JD on January 24, 2009, 04:52:59 AM I left it active because it can be that you have an SSH account under the same login details - for example, the FTP and SFTP server built into OS X will behave that way. So, you could log in via FTP but still issue remote shell commands.
Title: Re: Remote Shell Commands Post by: spacific on January 24, 2009, 05:36:40 AM Really? That's interesting!
OK then, thanks. (Would there be some way of detecting whether such commands are available to avoid the hanging situation when one forgets which protocol is being used?) Title: Re: Remote Shell Commands Post by: JD on January 25, 2009, 03:16:17 AM Not really. The only way is to actually try the connection, login, etc. By that time you may as well have tried the shell command.
I'm interested why yours hangs though... when I originally implemented this, in my tests with various servers the attempt just fails if it is unsupported. I'll re-test this, though.

When I select a folder and choose Remote Sheel Command => Create ZIP archive there is nothing shown in the transcript; just "Performing remote server command..." in the status area, and no response until I click on the cancel button. |
