Description antoniocs 2015-05-07 10:04:28 UTC

It would be really nice to have the size of the folders when we are at the dialog stage "New PHP Application from remove server" or if this is not easy to at least have a way to stop the downloading of files.

The only way currently of stopping this process is to kill netbeans.

I need this because I am working with projects that I don't know very well and sometimes I am downloading folders that have gigs of useless data, it would be nice just to tell netbeans to stop downloading that folder.

Unfortunately, I am not sure whether (S)FTP can provide directory sizes - I guess they don't. And yes, this is a limitation of NB WIzards API, they cannot be easily cancelled.

Possible workaround could be - download just a few files (and no folders) and once project is created, download all the rest of the remote files (this process can be cancelled).

Thanks for reporting.
