And so the challenges begin!

January 4th, 2010

I have run into the first big challenge.  On the server profile creation page, I need to test the FTP connection to the remote server using AJAX, without saving, without iframes, without refreshing or leaving the page. I can imagine it will be awesome if I get it working.  I have many ideas on how to achieve this feat, although at this point I wont share the details.

I have completed the draft server module, complete with add, edit and delete. Take a look at the following screenshot:

You may note the "Test Connection" button.  This is where I want to put the AJAX FTP connection test.  The result of which will be stored in the database for display in the servers view page.

The connection test maybe a testing, although educating, challenge, I will keep you posted.
