#40 asc/bin "auto" choice, based on filename patterns
Filezilla does a GREAT job as a Windows Client (to a
*NIX Server), but KBear doesn't provide a similar
feature for the KDE Client connecting to a Windows
Server. Upoading to WIndoz Web Servers, which can
involve a mix of binary files (graphics, java jars,
multimedia files) and text files (html, css, php) is
very inconvenient.
KBear 2.1 documentation says that "Binary will work in
99% of transfers" and mentions only "some perl scripts"
as an exception... This is badly wrong when
uploading/downloading with Windows Servers.
As Filezilla does, KBear should offer "auto" mode for
ASCII vs. BINARY transfers. When running in "auto"
mode, KBear should transfer all files using Binary,
except for files which match the following (default)
filename patterns:
*.asp *.bat *.c *.cfm *.cgi *.conf *.cpp
*.css *.dhtml *.diz *.h *.hpp *.htm *.html
*.inc *.js *.mak *.nfo
*.pas *.patch *.php *.phtml *.pinerc *.pl
*.qmail *.sh
*.shtml *.sql *.tcl *.tpl *.txt *.vbs
The Filezilla "Edit/Options/File Transfer Settings"
menu provides a panel to choose "auto", "ASCII",
"Binary", with the list of ASCII patterns shown below.
The User can add/delete patterns to this list of files
which should be transfered in ASCII. (For example, I
have added "php3" to the default list).
I must currently use Filezilla on a separate Windows
machine to properly manage ASCII/Binary files which
must be uploaded to a Windows Server. (Download using
Filezilla's "auto" feature, then upload to the Windows
Server from the Windows Client.)
I would much prefer to use KBear, transfering directly
from my Web Development machine to the Windows Server.
I am not capable of code Development (C++ or KDE, or
??) but I would be very happy to contribute
documentation changes, UI design review, and testing
for this feature.

Forgot to mention: Filezilla is also GPL, in C++, (and
present on SourceForge), so perhaps some of their
implementation methods may be imported to KBear.
Thanks!

Actually the upcoming KBear 3 already has this implemented.
It's in CVS or you could pick one of the released alpha
versions. Not much teste3d though, so if you would like to
test it please do.

I downloaded and tried 'configure' + 'make install' of the
kbear-3.0alpha1b tar. configure seemed to run OK, but 'make'
failed. Stdout showed the following error:
kbearsynchjob.cpp: In member function `void
KBear::KBearSynchJob::makeSourceList(KURL::List&)':
kbearsynchjob.cpp:75: error: `ConnectionManager' undeclared
(first use this function)
kbearsynchjob.cpp:75: error: (Each undeclared identifier is
reported only once for each function it appears in.)
kbearsynchjob.cpp:75: error: syntax error before `::' token

make[3]: Leaving directory
`/home/rick/tmp/kbear-3/kbear-3.0alpha1b/kbear/lib/jobclasses'
and then it popped up two more directories before quitting.
I tried adding a #include "connectionmanager.h", and it
solved this problem.
But later, while compiling
'/usr/lib/qt3/include/qstringlist.h' , the compiler did a
sigsegv. I'll will look into moving up to GCC 3.3.2.

successfully compiled and installed using GCC 3.3.2, with
#include added as per previous comment. I noticed the new
"auto" window, very nice, except that it contains no
defaults. Suggestion: if we put in a couple of the most
obvious defaults, ".htm", ".txt" then people like me will
know whether to put in "*.htm" or just ".htm", or ???.
I *am* having a BAD problem, which might be caused by
running kbear-3.0alpha1b -with- KDE 3.2 beta2: I can connect
to sites already provided in sitemanager (Qt, KDE mirrors,
etc.) But I crash with SIGSEGV when I attempt to connect to
my own sites, either via quick-connect or via adding them to
sitemanager. My sites all require user and password. Here's
the stdout/stderr on the console:
