TCC 9.02 vs 4NT 8.02 TAB completion on FTP

Jun

Hi

I noticed that on using 4NT 8.02.106, that on being connected to a FTP site, pressing Tab completes filenames and directories - great !!!

But using TCC 9.02, this does not happen, I get a beep :-(
Have I overlooked some configuration option that gets this back?
Was this feature removed? If so - doubleplusungood :-(

Cheers

It has not been removed, and it still works fine here.

What is the exact syntax you're using? And does it happen on all ftp sites?

1. I think so. What I discover is that Tab matching works if the subdirectory is off the root, it does not work if it is deeper than that (a subdirectory off a subdirectory).

For example, I type

cd ftp:D

(cursor is at the end of this, press TAB and see

cd "ftp:Data/"

which is correct

2. There is subdirectory call trptaunton off Data, and case matters
If I do

cd ftp:t
cd "ftp:t"
cd ftp:t*
cd "ftp:t*"

I just get beeps.
With 4NT 8.02, it matches any of these and I see on pressing TAB

cd "ftp:trptaunton"/

Thanks

I haven't followed this thread, but something strange happens here too.

v:\> iftp ftp://lucky.syr.edu

v:\> cd ftp:4plugins

v:\> cd ftp:
/4plugins

After that, if I

v:\> dir ftp:<Tab>

it completes filenames in /, not filenames in /4plugins (though if I just "dir
ftp:" if shows the contents of /4plugins).

Fixed for build 153 (which will be released in 2-3 days). (It turned
out to be a server-specific issue that was a combination of account
access privileges & server configuration; I couldn't reproduce it here
but was able to duplicate it on Vince's server.)

I can repro it on the jpsoft server. After

v:\> iftp jpsoft.com
v:\> cd ftp:beta
v:\> cd ftp:
/beta

v:\> ftp:<Tab> turns into

v:\> "ftp:4dos"/

It happens on an out-of-the-box Linux too. Try

iftp barnyard.syr.edu

cd ftp:pub/vefatica

cd ftp:<Tab>

It completes to "ftp:pub/" (which does not exist inside vefatica).
