[gftp] RFE: auto-reconnect *on action* after time-out

[Anthony <orders@nodivisions.com>]

Hello,

I use SmartFTP on Windows, and one feature that I think is really 
obvious (and indispensable after you've used it for a while) is the 
ability to automatically reconnect to a server.

I don't mean that as soon as the connection times-out, gFTP should 
reconnect; of course that would be bad.  But if you've been disconnected 
from a server, and then you try to transfer a file / get a dir listing / 
whatever, I think gFTP should automatically reconnect and perform the 
action.  The result is that (aside from the slight delay, and aside from 
 watching the log pane) the whole timeout/reconnection process becomes 
transparent to the user.

What do you think?

PS - I filed a "bug report" here about a month ago regarding the 
ASCII/BIN setting not working, and it was fixed in the CVS version 
within just a couple days, and the new release-version is already out 
and has it rolled in.  Thanks for being so speedy with that one.
