Tux commander is fine but I find it unusable for ftp connection. The client (0.5.70) does not recognize the symlinks in ftp server structure and tries to open the symlink as a regular file. This is very annoying because you can't enter any symlinked directories.
You can try on ftp://debian.sh.cvut.cz/
Also any 'disconnect' button would be handy. The only way to disconnect i found is to close the TC :-/
And finally, krusader-like tabbed browsing would be fine :)

This is really funny. I was JUST playing with TuxCommander's FTP abilities today for the first time, and I really like it, EXCEPT that there's no way to disconnect that I can find either. And here it is, the most recent post.
Anyway, just another question about how to disconnect...

So, disconnect feature should be implemented since version 0.6.36
Tux Commander uses global GVFS subsystem for networking connections, which are shared across whole desktop session. That means when you connect to a FTP or other service via Tux Commander, other GIO-aware applications (almost whole Gnome desktop) can use these connections. These so-called GIO mounts are global in your desktop session and Nautilus (the thing managing your desktop) show icons for each active mount. Once you manually unmount these mounts, they will go away. By default, Tux Commander leave GIO mounts open, it's designed behaviour to encourage sharing mounts. There's no way to force unmount active mounts, will be implemented probably in 0.7 series, menu Network -> Connections.
Putting gio mount icons on your desktop can be disabled in GConf, key /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible.

Well, the tabs seem to be working with Ctl+T :)

Does someone experienced tuxcommander making links for ftp connections on the desktop?
I'm using version 0.6.50 and its quite annoying.

Regarding symlinks - it's backend dependent, please consult with Gnome bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=gvfs
Thanks for the advice. That's all i need to know.
First i was afraid this forum is deaf, because the previous entries were so old, but fortunately that proved to be wrong.
