Some customers would like to have SecureFT start up the same way the Century FTP Client did, with a dialog that shows the different connections available. Some customers prefer the older interface in general to the newer.

This is something Century Software, Inc., has taken under advisement. It would require a substantial rewrite of the user interface for SecureFT. We can’t simply port the old interface over, as we’ve added SCP and SFTP to the available protocols.

Also, SecureFT writes each connection configuration to a separate file. The Century FTP Client wrote them all as sections of one large file, which became unwieldy and hard to read if enough connections were created. Nevertheless, it’s not an idea we’ve discarded.

TinyTERM Plus 4.53 has been adjusted so that SecureFT automatically opens the last connection used, provided you attempt to connect immediately after opening it. If you use any of the menus first, that saved configuration is lost.

CR 453, more “user-friendly” interface
CR 679, restore Century FTP interface
CR 700, alter behavior to be more like Century FTP
CR 717, default startup configuration
CR 746, on-the-fly file renaming
