Last week ago, i signed up for the Microsoft OneCare Beta and was accepted as a tester. After installing onecare, i was impressed, but disappointed to find that flashfxp couldnt connect to the internet in anyway anymore. I registered it as an allowed program and even allowed the ports ffxp was using, neither did the trick. when the onecare firewall is disabled, ffxp works great.

Next, i proceeded to print a support log with detailed firewall info... here is what i found:

The following request was blocked:
Full Application Path: C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\flashfxp.exe
Version:
Local Computer: 192.168.0.5:1157
Remote Computer: 67.XXX.XX.23:1001
Protocol Name: TCP
Protocol Number: 6
Traffic Direction: Outbound

BUT... I already allowed flashfxp in the firewall as proven below:

Application:
Full Path: C:\Program Files\FlashFXP\flashfxp.exe
Application Name: FlashFXP
Product Name: FlashFXP
Version: 3.2.0.1080
Company: IniCom Networks, Inc.
Publisher:
Access Scope: Allowed (Internet)
Manually added to the policy

NOTICE... the version number stated in the above log is 3.2.0.1080, the version number in the blocked log is blank. i believe this has something to do with flashfxp being incompatible with onecare.

If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this or is experiencing a similiar problem or has this working, please reply or drop me an email. thanks.

It seems to me that this has more to do with the beta stage OneCare is in, then with FlashFXP. Not that this will help you, but i think you should ask Microsoft for support (blocking a program that's in the allow list) instead of here.

i agree, i just though someone might have a suggestion, and i wanted to let anyone who was planning on testing oncare know about this. thanks for the reply

If we can get hold of onecare, we'll look into it

[joenicorata]

you can only use it if you have a subscription, they are free while it is in beta.. go to
http://beta.windowsonecare.com

they contacted me 3 days after applying

BUMP.

Sorry for the bump, but im also having this problem.

When i try to allow FlashFXP manually i get

Windows Live OneCare cannot add the selected program file(s) to your Firewall Program List.

FlashFXP

If the problem persists, contact support.

Any news/workarounds with this?

Just to tag on, I am having the same problem with trying to transfer files to an ftp site. And sorry, I'm a new guy to these postings so I will try to give my PC info. I hope it's adequate.

However, the file transfers to the ftp site but after a few minutes and when the transfer hits around 99%, the process fails.

Cheers,

This is what I think I know.

Ive had the one care and vista together since microsoft sent me both.
You have to set flashfxp up inside the one care program.....

Mine works like a champ. No issues here

[Mikey53]

Thanx,

I will try that. I have spent 3 very frustrating ... very lonely .... weeks trying to get this thing to work ... Oh, the horror!

[Mikey53]

P.S.

Any tips on how to do that so that I don't mess up right away?

build 1080 is unsupported, so don't even bother with it.
upgrade to the latest version.
