FTP Support

Hi,

Can you add support for FTP locations? I am trying to drag files from an ftp location and it's not working. I can also see that Windows FTP allows you to rename the files so it's not like FTP doesn't allow you to rename the file name.

Re: FTP Support

FTP is a different protocol, it differs from native file system functions. Ability to work directly with FTP protocol would require significant amount of work and it is not really needed because you can already work with FTP and even HTTP locations in ReNamer by mapping them as a netwrok drive.

Open Explorer and find "Map Network Drive" option. Then choose "Connect to a web site..." option. Enter your FTP location, e.g. ftp://example.com. This will create a virtual drive for your FTP location and all applications can now access it using standard file system functions.

Detailed tutorial for mapping a network drive:
