Same file on the same machine - error "501 Invalid number of arguments" in the 4.2.1 listing and the time taken to complete the listing and transfer.

Transferred 1 file totaling 3.61 MB in 0.42 seconds (10.52 MB/s) -> version 3.6

Transferred 1 File (3.61 MB) in 5 seconds (683.0 KB/s) -> version 4.2.1

I have had the revert back to version 3.6 as tranferring lots of small files is taking forever with 4.2.1


thanks

Starting with 4.x by default FlashFXP will request the file size/date prior to transfer.

[R] MLST 2010 - Accelerated C# 2010 (Apress).pdf
[R] 501 Invalid number of arguments

This can be turned off via Options > File Transfer Rules
then uncheck the setting
[ ] Request file size/date prior to transfer

Starting with 4.x by default FlashFXP will set the date/time of the file on transfer.

[R] MFMT 20110724191302 2010 - Accelerated C# 2010 (Apress).pdf
[R] 213 Modify=20110724191302; 2010 - Accelerated C# 2010 (Apress).pdf

This can be turned off via Options > File Transfer Rules.
Click the "Preserve File Date" tab and then uncheck the desired settings.
[ ] Upload
[ ] Download
[ ] Site to Site

Also if you upgrade from 3.x to 4.x a few customers have experienced slow file transfers when importing their old settings, we recommend making sure that the TCP/IP buffer settings are set to default.
Options > Preferences > Connection > TCP/IP Buffer size.

If default doesn't solve the problem sometimes 128 KB is the magic number.

For best results make sure you're not connected to a site within FlashFXP when making these changes, as the changes do not apply until a new connection is made.

Brilliant - all sorted thank you

nemo1966, but it is appear to be a problem with your server, the fact that it chokes on a filename with # in it.

ah no - that was a bad example when I think of it. It does it with EVERY file. (did it)

thanks
