How do I see the progress of the FTP transfer again, as it used to?

Question

Not sure if this is an update cdhange, but I can no longer see how my FTP uploads are going.

It used to show a bar, with the names etc, but now merely shows the name & number of bytes uploaded, along with the total bytes of the file. I know that shoiuld be enough but I liked the old syatem where a bar showed the progress. Is it possible to get that back somehow?

DW is convenient for quick page updates but for large data transfers or multi-GB media files, I prefer to use a dedicated S/FTP client like free FileZilla or Transmit FTP by Panic. You can do more with a dedicated client.

like Nancy you must have a super fast connection, because here the DW FTP client use and feel has remained the same since Macromedia... except for the connection mode, it has not evolved in ergonomics, in usability and in stability...

requests for improvement over the years have always been ignored... :

Impossibility to open multiple sessions at the same time
impossibility to switch to a different site project during a transfer
no action possible on the queue order
no information about the global time still needed
no synchronization of navigation between folders
no management of the recovery of files that triggered a transfer error
...

and it's not now that DW is in minimal maintenance, that there is a chance that the FTP client will evolve, one way or the other... if you don't have time to see a transfer bar... see it as luck... please, enjoy it 😉
