<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>This email only concerns people using FTP to transfer QGS and CFG
files.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We started an early prototype for FTP "half-automatic transfer"
over FTP for QGS and CFG files in the next version of the Lizmap
QGIS plugin.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Only QGS and QGS.CFG files are sent to the server. For other
data, a FTP client is still needed.</p>
<p>This tool is located in the "Map options" of the plugin.</p>
<p>For the "directory", it's the folder on the server where to copy
these files. We can see this folder on Filezilla, WinSCP, for
instance "/qgis/landuse".<br>
</p>
<p>You need to click the "Check" button to check your credentials
are OK.</p>
<p>Then, both checkboxes "Auto save the QGIS project" and "Transfer
automatically" must be checked. Then, the synchronization will be
done after "Apply" or "Ok".</p>
<p>We only care about QGS and CFG files, because they are the most
often edited files. And it saves a lot of time when we do not need
to drag&drop files in the FTP client.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We are aware of limitations of such implementation in the current
state of the plugin :</p>
<p>- credentials are lost when you close QGIS. This is on purpose,
until we decide where and how to store these new settings and
mainly how to make the UI better and clear. We do not want to make
the plugin a FTP client.<br>
</p>
<p>- Credentials, FTP host etc are temporarily located in this "Map
options" panel. In the final version, this will be hopefully
stored in the "Server" table. It would be nice to set up FTP
information side by side with the linked Lizmap Web Client server

(by the way, the URL, login and password will be soon required, so
you better fill login and password now ;-) )</p>
<p>- Port 21 only for now<br>
</p>
<p>We are keen to have feedback about this feature. You can download
the ZIP on our package server. It has been tested with our hosting
infrastructure lizmap.com. So maybe there are some errors on other
FTP servers. Please write to me (off this mailing list) about
possible Python error otherwise, share your feedback here ;-)<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Direct ZIP link :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://packages.3liz.org/pub/lizmap-qgis-plugin/unstable/lizmap.3.9.2-alpha.zip">https://packages.3liz.org/pub/lizmap-qgis-plugin/unstable/lizmap.3.9.2-alpha.zip</a></p>
<p>Then in the QGIS plugin manager, choose "install from ZIP"</p>
<p>Or
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://packages.3liz.org/pub/lizmap-qgis-plugin/unstable/plugins.xml">https://packages.3liz.org/pub/lizmap-qgis-plugin/unstable/plugins.xml</a>
if you want to add a new "Repository" to follow our development.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,<br>
