Ghost Commander 1.60

May, 2020

• • When possible, a file being copied between heterogeneous locations is written to the destination directly, rather than first stored to a temp folder. For an example, when the app copies from FTP to SAF, it reads the bytes from the FTP data socket and directly pushes them to the SAF file descriptor.

  •  All modes now support (or will support) the file search feature. Previously, only the native file system mode did support the search. In the root mode the app uses the find and grep commands to do the search.
