FlashFXP 4.1 build 1548 stable

[ecksteinn]

I experience problems since a very few latest releases in combination with actual raidenftpd and implicit and explicit SSL/TLS and binary file uploads

FFXP hangs and freezes

[mats_k]

Two issues
1. Is it possible to change the order of how to present the data in the program-header?
Now the presentation seem to be (I have attached a picture)
speed queue % filename

2. When the flashfxp is not maximized I have a very irritaded flickering behaviour of the presentation.
If flashfxp is maximized then the flickering is not available.

FYI:
Win7 x64 sp1
flashfxp 1648

Attached picture for issue 1 and issue 2

Yes you can customize the taskbar caption during file transfers, this setting can be configured via the Preferences dialog > Transfer > Taskbar Caption

Do you have visual themes turned off for FlashFXP in Windows 7? Based on your screenshot it appears you do. This can create unnecessary flickering, the only solution would be to turn visual themes back on for FlashFXP.

Enabling any unnecessary compatibility settings for FlashFXP under Windows Vista or Windows 7 can cause unexpected and unpredictable results.

If the flicker is limited to a specific part of the FlashFXP window can you please explain where the flicker occurs and what you're doing at the time.

Ok thanks for the quick reply.
I just downloaded the 4.1 stable version and upgraded from the earlier stable 4.0.
Then the Interface/Toolbar for both the
- Main buttons and
- Navigation Buttons
changed from old classic to new tango.
I just changed back to the classic style .
Even if I try to import my old 4.0 settings I get tango for the "Main buttons and Navigation buttons"

After some other tweaks the flickering has disappeared.
And I am back to the way I had it before the upgrade....

That is correct, in 4.1 we promoted the tango theme as default, since this has become default, when importing or upgrading from 4.0 it will always use tango, the only way to override/change this is to manually select the classic buttons.

The only thing I can think of that may of caused this is when we updated the OpenSSL dlls to the latest release. We haven't touched the FTP SSL/TLS code for many builds now, that code was finalized awhile back.

I used to have a license key for raidenftpd but it appears I've misplaced it, I've contacted the raiden team but I'm not sure how long it might take before I have a replacement key. As soon as I am able to test raidenftpd I will do so.

If you could provide me with a test account on a raidenftpd server that would be a huge help, if this is possible please send me a private message.

I finally had a chance to test with RaidenFTPD v2.4 build 3903 (2011/9/19) and I was not able to reproduce the issue. What version of Windows are you using?

Hello,
i am having issues transfering files from SSL or not FTP servers.
This started after build 1625 (Which works if installed)
if i install build 1640 or any version after that one i can not transfer (UL or DL) any files.

When the transfer is started, a few ko do come through and thet ffxp just throws that broken pipe error and tries to resume.

if i reinstall the build 1625 then all is back to normal.

Can you please give me the values for the following settings in the Preference dialog

In the section Transfer > Options Stalled transfers

[ ] Restart transfer if no data is transferred for [ ] seconds

In the section Connection

TCP/IP Buffer Size

Send [ ]

Receive [ ]

Since the stall detection is disabled I highly suspect the large tcp/ip buffer to be the issue, I would recommend trying (default) and then see if things improve.

I set the TCPIP buffer back to "Default" but that does not change anything.
Then i enabled the stall detection and things were back to normal.

It really seem that as soon i disable the stall detection i have download timeout problems.

I also tried different combinations for the TCPIP Buffers with no success while having the stall detection disabled.

Between every change of settings i restarted FFxp to be sure to apply the new configuration

Couple of things that I've noticed in 4.1 (they may have also been present in previous builds)

1) I get loads of MLST errors on every upload (fxp in)

[L] 200 Command okay
[L] MLST [filename removed]
[L] 250- Begin
[L] type=file;size=5778968;modify=20110921223647.696;u nix.owner=[removed];unix.group=[removed];x.slaves=[removed];x.xfertime=-[filename removed]
[L] 250 End.
[R] TYPE I
[R] 200 Command okay
[R] MLST [filename removed]
[R] 550 Requested action not taken. File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)

2) Live update appears in the status window every day even though i've got it not to check for any kind of update

Any idea of what I can do to deal with these 2 issues?

Many thanks

1. This is the normal behavior, FlashFXP will use the SIZE or MLST command to determine if the file exists before uploading. You can disable this feature by unchecking the option "Request file size/date prior to transfer" in the File Transfer Rules dialog, however by doing this you will reduce accuracy of the file transfer rules and increase the likelihood of the wrong rule being used.

2. At the moment the update check cannot be turned off, we will be allowing users to disable it in a future release.

Thank you very much for your helpful reply
