An intermediary software to quickly connect to ftp by an authorizer or reminder application tool
Download the application. Run the application you downloaded and click the Install button in the upper right corner. My application will be opened as an administrator again. Install the application by pressing the Install button again.
When the application is installed, it will take over the ftplinker:https:// protocol and the ftplinker command.
There are several editable information fields in the interface of the application.
These are for specifying a manual directory. If we talk over WinSCP: the application will try to find WinSCP by itself. If it cannot find it (WinSCP may be installed in a different directory or disk), you can specify a directory manually.
The fields you can see there:
WinSCP Path: The path to the directory where WinSCP is installed.
FileZilla Path: The path to the directory where FileZilla is installed.
VSCode Path: The path to the directory where VSCode is installed.
VSCode Workspace Path: The path to the directory where the workspace is stored.
