custom command on inactive ftp window

Hi guys,

is it possible with custom commands to get something done in the inactive side of the window?

For example: im connected to two sites and i want by selecting folders on one site those to be created by the mkdir cmd on the other site.

any ideas?

thanks

[edit] ..ok i know its possible, so i'm currently fiddeling it out ;-)

Give this a try, I tested it using FlashFXP 5.4.0.3939 and it appears to work as expected.

Code:

# DESCRIPTION: Create folders on opposite side from the current item selection on the active side.
#
# Display a simple [yes/No] confirmation prompt
/confirm "Create new folders on opposite side using the current selection?\n\n%f"
#This operation could take awhile so display a busy box until the operation has finished.
/busybox Creating folders
# loop for-each name that is selected in the active browser pane.
{
    # save %f into variable @f@
    /set @f@ %f
    # switch active browser pane to opposite side
    /switch-activate
    # make directory named @f@
    # if we had used %f then it would of taken the name from current active side which is wrong.
    /mkd @f@
    # switch back to the original side before grabbing the next name from %f
    /switch-activate
}
# switch back to opposite side so we can update the listing.
/switch-activate
# now update the stale directory listing.
/list
# one last switch to restore active focus back to the original browser pane.
/switch-activate
