Happy with FlashFXP

[epp_b]

I just downloaded and installed FlashFXP, and am very impressed :)

It's got lots of options, FXP transfer capabilities (hence the name FlashFXP ;) ), it's quite flexible, and it seems to have very view bugs, comparatively to other FTP applications.

One very minor bug I noticed, though: when using FlashFXP at a resolution higher than 800x600, the local file area seems to resize itself to an unusable height upon startup of FlashFXP. For now, I'll just deal with resizing it everytime I start FlashFXP.

If you need a screenshot, I can post one (or two) soon.

Other than that, I have no complaints. Great job guys!

a screen shot would bevery handy, I run higher than 800x600 and I dont see the problem you are referrring to.

This is how I orginally have the size of the local file area:

This is how it looks when I close and re-open FlashFXP (or begin a new session):

Which build of FlashFXP are you running ?

And your OS ? (It looks like 98ish)

[epp_b]

FlashFXP: FlashFXP Version 2.0 Build 906.

OS: Actually, you're right, and wrong ;)

The screenshots show FlashFXP v2.0 b906 running on Windows 2000.

I use it primarily on Windows 98SE. It does this for both Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Oh, one more thing...there's minor bug with the CHMOD. Steps to reproduce:

1. Right click a folder in the remote directory tree.
2. Click "Attributes (CHMOD)"
3. You'll see that the permissions are reported as 000 (when, really there are something else, like 755)

I have resolved this problem with FlashFXP resizing properly in horizontal layout mode. If your a registered user you can download 909 beta 2 from the public beta area.

However I am unable to reproduce this problem wth chmod.

Sorry, it's not "000", everything is just blank when I try to change permissions this way. If I select "Attributes (CHMOD)" using the remote file view, it works fine.

No, I'm not a registered user (yet). I'm going to get a "feel" for FlashFXP first to make sure I know what it has and what it's limitations are first.

[bigstar]

Oops my bad you said "remote directory tree" FlashFXP doesn't know/keep track the chmod value when accessing chmod via the tree. So when you select chmod no default value is shown.

[epp_b]

That's OK. I'm used to it -- my previous FTP client couldn't do that either.
