Re: "Duplicate" remote file to multiple sessions -- Distribute

Thanks for your suggestion.
We will see, if more people ask for this.

I would think something like "record actions", and tie it to hot key or menu, could do something like that and also be better use as could then record disconnect/connects to various servers, duplicate, send/receive, file paths, etc, and then just use it to repeat. Instead of one random really specific thing, it could be useful to everyone in many situations.

It would be easy to do this on one specific file or all files at a certain path. Could also have an action that allows for manual file selection override I suppose by adding anything currently selected.

I could see this being quite involved even though most of it should be fairly simple to code.

But, I don't know either. Someone may think of other ideas of how to do it. Like a script could do it anyway, if you could write one.

"Duplicate" remote file to multiple sessions -- Distribute

I find that I need to transfer a file from our development system to our test, train, and production systems fairly often. Currently, I go to the session connected to the dev system, right-click on the file and select "Duplicate" (or hit Shift+F5), select the first system to copy it to, and then, when the transfer is complete, switch back to the dev system and do it all again for the next server.

It would be handy to have an option to duplicate a file to several systems at once, perhaps "Distribute" or "Multi-Duplicate" if you want a separate hotkey. Keystroke could be Shift+Ctrl+F5. That would pop-up something like this:


It would list the active sessions with suggested targets, much as the duplicate command does now. It would default to the local copy thing (because that's what makes sense).

Anyway, just an idea.

Thanks,
Roger
