FlashFXP Forums - View Single Post - Resuming download of files of unknown size

I thought that FlashFXP only needed to issue a REST command with the starting byte number to resume the file. Is the remote file size really necessary ?
I think the remote file size is only necessary to decide what file exists rule you're going to apply for your download.
If you create a new rule for remote file of unknown size and set it to "always resume" this should work.

At least, FlashFXP doesn't need to know the file size to download the file in one shot. This works very well on the same FTP site.
