Search for words and phrases in the contents of a file via ftp

[jojoslavi]

Hello!

Today I was looking for an alternative to Total Commander and found yours.
It is much better in appearance and has many functions.

However, I have one question.
Can I search for words and phrases in the content of a file via ftp with Multi Commander?

Thanks in advance!

No.. If MC should support search it would have to download the file first. so that would be very inefficient.

Some FTP server do support search on the server side with special "Site" commands. But they are not standard.
For example. som FTP server you can do "site find *.txt -contains "gmail.com"" and then you get the result in the FTP Log. But the exakt search command is different for all FTP Server and only few of them support it

Multi Commander To search for content you will need to enable temporary download during the search process.

Does anyone know how to enable it?

There is no option for that..  that scenario is not supported since it is very inefficient to do so..
