It should work if entered correctly. But you need to know what port the target wants.  21 is default for FTP 22 default for SSH.  totally different services..
But since it fails to even connect. something is either wrong with host or port.. Or something is blocking it

Port is correct ?
Firewall allows it

is that all logging ?
If you still get "Connecting failed (GetAddrInfo) : 11001" then hostname is still wrong

You do not need to specify protocol like ftps:// 
Just enter host name in hostname field

Also you have ftps:// 
that are normally for FTP with SSL/TLS.  Then you need to use the FTP device in MC
sftp:// is used for FileTransfer over SSH. Then you connect to a SSH connection and do filetransfer using that.

GetAddrInfo fails with 11001 . and that is HOST_NOT_FOUND.
It fails to resolve IP address
So check your host address.

Hi
is there any special setting to do? I've put host,user and password,but it is not working,got:

Code: [Select]

Failed to connect
Failed to initialize socket - Cannot connect to server
Connection... Failed!
it works fine in total commander

thanks

Let me know any issue you have with the SFTP/SCP extension.
Normal UserName/Password login should work

I Use SFTP(SSH) daily without issue.

Sure IP and port are correct ?  Maybe FW issue. maybe have outbound block on. and MC need to be allowed allowed to connect out ?
Try enable higher loglevel in Core settings.  might output something more.

Thanks for the new RC Mathias!

Audio-tool merge mp3 files is only available via MC menu/extra/auto tools - not via context menu?

I did not think about adding it there. Will see if that is possible.

Script / Re: Trying to make MC open automatically with single panel

« on: September 13, 2025, 08:42:39 »

No You are saying that MC should run the MultiCommander Script "SinglePanel" when it starts..  Are you sure that you have that script in MC ? that is not a default script.
That is a script you must have created

Support and Feedback / Re: New user: Folder size uses "size" and not "size on disk"

« on: September 12, 2025, 16:21:44 »

Currently I don't think so.

I think that image is a "sparse" file

A sparse file is a file that efficiently uses disk space by not allocating space for regions of zero-valued bytes. Instead, the file system keeps a record of these "holes," returning zeros on read operations without consuming physical disk space. This allows for the creation of very large files that take up minimal space.

Problem is that the normal way to scan the filesystem. it returns the reserved filesized. To get the actual size require a lot more work and is currently not supported.

The Log in MC..

And you script is named "SinglePanel" ?

(Also so you know, it is not recommended to always run in SinglePanel setup.. You do at own risk. . Program designed around two panel layout. )

For me it updates automatically. I can't replicate that it is not updated.

If you look in fileoperation or filesystem log (Ctrl+L) you might see some error there for that.

Strange. I can't replicate that

And you should not run multiple CustomCommands in a MultiScript, specially file operations commands since they are run in the backgrund, so they return directly so then the refresh is probably done before the delete has happend.

Also it is "NEWQUEUE" not "NOQUEUE" as optional parameters. but I don't think thats matters,

Does a Refresh (F2/F4 or press on Refresh icon) work ? will it refresh it to the correct state ?

Thank you very much for your help!
I just started using your program and I really like it. I have a few questions, but most of them have been answered.
How can I increase the font size in these areas?

Menu is actually drawn by Windows. This is drawn larger / smaller depending on your monitor scaling or windows settings for that.

Support and Feedback / Re: SFTP connection without SSH key password fails

I was able to test this.. I do not get a password dialog when having a keyfile that is not protected with password

Support and Feedback / Re: SFTP connection without SSH key password fails

« on: September 02, 2025, 08:21:06 »

I dont know what 3rd party ssh library they are using..

But sure you press OK in the ask password  dialog. because "Ask for password for keyfile failed - Aborting..." should only be outputted when canceling it.
I can't really test my self at the moment since I do not have access to any key login.

Support and Feedback / Re: SFTP connection without SSH key password fails

« on: September 01, 2025, 22:19:26 »

I added a password to the private key file via:

Code: [Select]

ssh-keygen -p -f
But that leads to the following error:

> Failed to authenticate using keyfile : -19

Then I deleted the PW again via the same ssh-keygen command and now MC accepts the empty PW (no popup appears), but this still ends in the same failed authenticate error message.

-19 = ERROR_PUBLICKEY_UNVERIFIED - The username/public key combination was invalid.

It should send a blank pw to SSH if you just press ok in password dialog. You sure there is not any other error.. Any error in the Log ?
Sure you press OK in the password dialog. the error "Ask for password for keyfile failed - Aborting..." is only outputted to the log if the Ask Password dialog is cancelled

Drives are one toolbar... FreeSpace info area are one. they are separate in MC.  They can't be merged into one.
But instead of have a drive bar inside the explorer panel. you can have a global one instead on top. to save some space..
