Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] anonymous access for FTP
|
The checkbox fills the user ID
and password fields, as possibly the user wants to provide its own email
address as password, but doesn't perform the login action.
It allows a quicker way to access services
allowing an "anonymous" user, rather than having to type it every
time.
Answering DavidD questins:
(1) What other services use FTP's style of anonymous
login? That is, is
this a change just for FTP?
I expect systems having a "guest"
account could provide it as anonymous user..
(2) I don't want this showing up on dstore or other
services that don't
support anonymous login, is this tailorable?
It is only shown by services
requiring user id and password (using the SystemPasswordPromptDialog class);
if it helps to avoid user confussion a supportsAnonymousLogin() on ConnectorService
could be added, as suggested.
(3) should this really be a checkbox? Since its causing
fields to be filled
maybe it should be a button - kind of like "restore defaults"
is on
preferences.
A checkbox has a concept of
do <-> undo, so if unchecked it cleans up the anonymous user id and
password and writes the default id (as initially)

I haven't tried this, but it sounds like a great idea
for FTP. However I
have some questions
(1) What other services use FTP's style of anonymous login? That is, is
this a change just for FTP?
(2) I don't want this showing up on dstore or other services that don't
support anonymous login, is this tailorable?
(3) should this really be a checkbox? Since its causing fields to be filled
maybe it should be a button - kind of like "restore defaults"
is on
preferences.
Perhaps one way to make this available only for FTP is to have a new method
on ConnectorService -- supportsAnonymousLogin()?

[dsdp-tm-dev] anonymous access for
AM
FTP
Please respond to

Hi,
The solution of bug #161212: [ftp] "The username dialog should have
a
checkbox for anonymous access" (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=161212) will add a checkbox
for anonymous access. The patch for the bug can be found in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=52676
Checking it would set the user id field as anonymous and a dummy email-like
password (at the moment rse@xxxxxxxxxxx); unchecking it would clear the
password field and set the default user id.
This option would be available when the user id / password dialog appears,
at the moment for FTP and also SSH.
Does anybody have any objection to adding the anonymous checkbox (since
it'll be visible on other subsystems a part of FTP) ?

Javier Montalvo Orús
