RIght clicking a file, in local pane, and clicking on VIEW flashes something on the screen that 'looks like' it is a DOS box and nothing happens. The file I am trying to 'view',not execute, is a BATCH file with a BAT extension.
RIght clicking a file, in the remote pane, brings up the OVERWRITE box. This is also a Batch file with a BAT extension. I am trying toview the file not transfer it to the local drive.
Using Core FTP lite build 1367
"VIEW" command

Had to add it to file associations...CP wrote:By default, the VIEW command will execute a batch file. If you need to view it, use the 'edit' option instead.
If that doesn't work,
Add the .bat extension to the 'File Associations' dialog.
Manage - file associations, then
extension: .bat
executabel: notepad.exe or your favorite editor.
We may add an option here to load an optional set of extensions to be used with notepad but it's not installed as a default option so default microsoft extensions are used first.
Whe right -clicking on a file on the remote side (that also exists on the local side!) the program flashes several times and then does bring notepad... the same on the local side does not cause flashing, etc... ie:MUCH smoother
When right-clicking on a file on the remote side and clicking EDIT, that does NOT exist on the local side it brings up the OVERWRITE screen..... obviously not the right behaviour for EDIT...
