FlashFXP 2.2.966 is the current beta release and 2.1.924 is the latest non registered users build.

I cant find a update file, I am a bit tired of reinstalling all the time.

Question If build 922 don't work i'm afraid you're out of luck, the problem must be with the ftp server. However if you still have doubts and want to send me the site details privately I'd be happy to confirm this.

Question · 02-02-2004, 01:51 PM

Ok, do you think it will be solved if I update to 924?
Is there a update file?
The server software is 2.21 bulletproof, i think it is the latest. (Edit: Have checked and it is the latest version)
Edit 2: I have updated to 2.1.924, I dont know if it works as it should yet.

v2.1 was a major release, there isn't an upgrade.

builds 922 and 924 are virtually identical the changes that were made only effect how FlashFXP behaves during the trial period. They do not effect how FlashFXP works or fix any bugs.

Well, I use Flashfxp 2.1 build 924 and have noticed the resume error on two different ftp server's so far.

It happens everytime when you resume a large file (+4gb). The servers used were ProFTPD 1.2.8 Server (ProFTPD Default Installation) on linux and Bulletproof 2.2.1 Build 11 in windows.

I've triplechecked my rules and seen it ask for a resume everytime its supposed to and everytime the result has been that the file on my hd is bigger than the one I'm dloading, flashfxp showing ??:??:?? as remaining time.

If I dload the file nonstop it works fine.

I'm gonna try some other client if the resume works better on them but I wouldn't wanna ditch flashfxp..

Fix it!

Code:

* FlashFXP v[2 ].[1 ], build [924], [x]unregistered, 
* OS [x ] WinXP
* Running behind NAT/router  [ x] No
* Running firewall [x ] Yes, Name [Sygate 5.5]
* Running Antivirus [ x] Yes, Name [AVG 7 pro]
* Network [x ] xDSL

On the ftp server issue this raw command "SIZE <filename>" where filename is the name of a large file. More than likely SIZE is reporting the wrong size. This is where many FTP servers fall short when supporting large files. FlashFXP requires a valid result from SIZE in order to properly resume the file.

Inqu · 02-09-2004, 09:32 AM

The size matches excatly if I do a "size filename" on ftp or look it up on windows explorer.

It's something else.

For clairification are you uploading, downloading or fxping?

I have been unable to reproduce this problem on several other ftp servers, I will be testing proftpd shortly.

Inqu · 02-09-2004, 06:54 PM

Downloading.
I did the size test to bpftp, I'll do that to proftpd once I get ahold of the owner so he can verify the filesize.

You sure about bpftp? According to the changelog at http://www.bpftpserver.com/?page=fil...n=view&lang=en the SIZE command didn't support 4+gb files until v2.21

Question · 02-10-2004, 02:46 AM

I hade still got the same problem, and as someone said, I cant remember downloading a file without resuming that has fail but the latest 4gig+ that i resumed have all gone wrong. Im going to test with cute ftp och see the results.

Yes I'm sure about bpftp, like I said earlier the version is that 2.2.1.

I just got the results from ProFTPD 1.2.8, flashfxp says:
size xxxxx.img
213 4311377920

..and from linux itself the size is identical: 4.0gb (4,311,377,920)

So that can't be the source of resume probs, both seem to handle the size cmd.
