I am running Version 2.0 Build 901 (on 30 day trial) and I am trying to FXP from one site to another, the problem I am getting is that the files aren't always the correct size at the other end, they should be 14.32mb but they are only around 14.2mb and they are corrupt. (They are all RAR files). Am I doing something wrong??

Now and again the file sizes are correct but only now and again...

One of them is unknown to me but the log states

220 SUNW, UltraSPARC-IIe

the other end is Bulletproof

BTW forget to say I'm running Wind98SE

This has come up in the past and it appears to be a problem with bpftpd, it prematurely closes the data connection and the file becomes incomplete. This is beyond the scope of FlashFXP and there isn't anything that can be done.

as Bigstar writes, bulletproof (G6) has a bad bug with FXPing.

I have also had this problem with files not getting the correct size...
but not while fxp..
it´s when i download from a raiden ftpd i get this problem with *.rar files...
my guess is that it is one of the ftp servers that has bes setup wrong... because i only have this problem with 1 raiden ftp!
