WiFi & File Transfer
Quote from PaulJonestindall on September 9, 2020, 6:08 pmDoes anybody know of a plugin or a way to detect WIFI connectivity/strength/stability? This is especially important when transferring or copying files over network drives.
Also, does anyone know of a plugin to copy or move files that can continue transfer if for some reason connection is lost?
I've got FM/FTP and haven't fully explored it except to find out that I cannot copy or move files via a drives network address.
(For instance, a drive has to be mapped such as M:\ rather than \\10.0.0.10\folder)Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

netsh wlan show interfacesIf you use
netsh wlan show interfaces> C:\output.txt result will be copied to file output.txt on drive C:\
For other problem, just download and install WGET for Windows, they have all you need (resume broken download over the network etc...)

I've got FM/FTP and haven't fully explored it except to find out that I cannot copy or move files via a drives network address.
(For instance, a drive has to be mapped such as M:\ rather than \\10.0.0.10\folder)The FMFTP plugin acts as the client side of an FTP transaction ... it can not automatically access files on any server ... the server side device needs to have an FTP program running (to receive and respond to FTP requests).
So, unless other devices on your FTP are so equipped, merely knowing their ip address will not help.
Having said that, here is a web page that might help you to obtain the ip addresses of other devices on your wifi ...
https://www.pcwdld.com/how-to-scan-network-for-ip-addresses
In order to use something like M:\ (without FTP), the devices have to be configured first ... so the M drive on your computer maps to the root/subfolder of the target device ... and your device has read/write access to folders on the other device.

It's not necesarily the FTP I'm concerned with. The main issue I have is that while I can have drives mapped on my computer and the FM works just fine but not every computer in the office has the same drive mapped with the same drive letter. For instance, I could have the Scheduling drive mapped as S:\ while someone else may have Shipping mapped as drive S:\. Then there are other areas like the copiers/scanners that are not mapped and are accessed something like \\10.0.10\copier1.
All of the native NeoBook/VisualNeo actions such as FileCopy, FileErase, FileList all work perfectly well whether I use a mapped drive (M:\file.txt) or not (\\10.0.0.10\folder\file.txt). All of the plugins I've been using work well this way also including DBPro, NeoBookPDF, zmFunction, hpw and lga plugins among many others.
I'd really like to use the file drag and drop feature of the FM\FTP plugin the same way but it doesn't quite seem to work for me.
