Winbox Feature suggestion.
It would be nice if it was easily possible to backup and download the configuration directly via winbox. Right now you have to ftp in and out your config, would be nice to just do it form winbox directly. And would be nice if it was possible to keep regular backup of the configuration automaticly for each router on the machine running the winbox. And not just the least config, would be nice for it to keep the last X number of backups. So that you can define how many you would like to keep.
Winbox Feature Suggestion
For the backup files I would like to see ability to do "Save As" or rename the backup files so we can store multiple configuration files in the Files folder of RouterOS. This is a way to store at least a default configuration and other configurations that can be used as needed.
Right now the drag and drop features work reliably for small files. For RouterOS upgrade packages the drag and drop feature sometimes hangs up during the file copying process for files that are large.

Winbox Feature Suggestion
Yes I saw the backup email feature on the Wike which is great. However, what I was referring to in my earlier comment was a capability in the Winbox to allow naming of the backup file when the "backup" button is pressed. I would like to see a capability for multiple backup configuration files available on the RouterOS "File" folder.
Working locally and across the net I have never had corruption issues with winbox drag and drop. I do have ghost icons left on the desktop though. I have had some problems when using mac telnet/winbox but thats expected since its not using TCP.
When you click BACKUP in the files folder it does keep more than 1 copy, each one gets named with a time/date stamp and you can keep multiple copies. I don't think we're clear on what you want different.

Winbox Feature Suggestion
Only thing I am asking for is the ability to specify a name for the backup file in Winbox. This can also be accomplished by providing a file rename capabiliy in the File Folder.

I also have problem with winbox bug. When i for instance try to move simple queue (by mouse drag) but use low speed connection, it often happens that winbox deletes simple queue on old location, creates new simple queue record on new location adn then fails to set values from old position. It results in loosing settings for simple queue rule.
It should not delete old rule until it is certain that copy on new position is created properly.

When I check DNS cache and decide to delete one record i get dialog that informs that funcion is not implemented. Not abig deal, but I have a habbit to select all record in cache and then press Del. It gives me headache each time.
Can you remove the delete option or implement it finally (this unimplemented dialog is present for a long time).

Remove certain menu items based on user rights
It would help very much if one can limit which menu items a user can see based on his user rights, i.e. I would like to give a user read-only rights but unfrutnately as part oif that he acn also see sensitive info such as radius secrets, local user name details in hotspot, etc. I want to be able to hide thse menu times from the user completely.
Re: Winbox Feature Suggestion
This could be done in terminal:Only thing I am asking for is the ability to specify a name for the backup file in Winbox. This can also be accomplished by providing a file rename capabiliy in the File Folder.
Code: Select all
/system backup save name=<File name goes here>Re: Winbox Feature Suggestion
.. but request was for WinboxThis could be done in terminal:
Another issue: passwords should not be revealed in winbox. It is very annying when i open dialog with passwords shown and someone is near me.
I am not used to an idea that passwords are readable so I have no habbit not to open such dialog with third party presence, and it is quite strange if I have to ask others to leave the room because I have to open that dialog.
Simply hide passwords behind astersks, as it is common in whole software world.

You should not open near people you don't trust... it's a server not an spreadsheet.. and if the admin can't see the passwords it's not an admin...Another issue: passwords should not be revealed in winbox. It is very annying when i open dialog with passwords shown and someone is near me.

Re: Winbox Feature Suggestion
World is full of strange people. I do nto have a need to get better opinion on mywelf by using MT but to use it to do the job, and it is quite comon that I have to access MT wrom variousplaces, which I cannot controll. That is why passwords are used for: to allow person to access something from anywhere, but keep access secured.You should not open near people you don't trust... it's a server not an spreadsheet.. and if the admin can't see the passwords it's not an admin...
i reall;y do not have aclue why possibility to see the passwords makes someone an admin. I thought posibility to change any password is what admins can do if neccessary.

Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
Any way of getting passwords hidden behind asterisk in the next release of ROS 2.9.** and 3**
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
/me is still wondering if this will happen soon.
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
although no other operating system hides the ppp secrets of users (because an admin often has to tell users their ppp passwords), we will make a button in winbox that hides the passwords when not needed.
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
As I mentioned in other post, it is possible to disable password column.
Press down arrow button after the last column , chose show columns and uncheck password.

Re:
sorry i really misunderstood that!My first reaction wasjust use radius for that , so u and none will see the users passwordbut then i realized that it must be you just misunderstood what I was talking about.
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
Thanks guys this is realy nice.although no other operating system hides the ppp secrets of users (because an admin often has to tell users their ppp passwords), we will make a button in winbox that hides the passwords when not needed.
Is there a possibility that you guys can make it that users with read access on the routerboard can only see the asterisks and no passwords.
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
It's called "read" access for a reasonThanks guys this is realy nice.although no other operating system hides the ppp secrets of users (because an admin often has to tell users their ppp passwords), we will make a button in winbox that hides the passwords when not needed.

Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
But why then be able to see passwords
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
"see" = "read"
you should make some "dumb" user if you don't want him to see anything important. "how" is another question.
actually users with read access cannot see passwords already, only ppp secrets.

Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
Okay so what is the chances that we can get a new user group called dumb that cant see any secret or password fields.
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
you could actually store your users on a radius server, then you won't have such problems. In what situations would such dumb mode be useful? Why do you allow untrusted people to access your router?
Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
We have users (= dumb) with read access to gain knowledge, but we would like to keep passwords like ppptp passwords secret with or without the Hide Password tick boxyou could actually store your users on a radius server, then you won't have such problems.

Re: Winbox Feature suggestion.
See we run a community driven wireless user group, so its kinda like a playground for wireless enthusiasts. We have readonly accounts on our rbs so the users can have a look at how routing is done and so forth. Now some of there rbs have ppptp connection that not all users should be able to see, and we would like to keep that a secret. Raduis is a nice idea but its kind to big for us atm.
