flashfxp disconnects, then reconnects after finishing every file in queue (same ftp)

bosshoff · 10-19-2002, 10:40 PM

Upon getting into an ftp site, I proceed to queue up those files i require. After initiating the transfer, the program starts doing its thing. After the first (and every subsequent) file, it displays the time it took to download, then disconnects, only to reconnect and continue transfering the next file. The problem with this is that some ftp servers will ban you for reconnecting immediately after disconnecting. I thank you for any help you can afford me.

bigstar · 10-20-2002, 12:20 AM

which specific version/build of FlashFXP are using?

holymoly · 10-20-2002, 07:41 AM

Are you running any firewalls? If i remember correctly i had this problem with 1.4. (when i was using it) with non-PASV ftps, it'd do the same problem you described. Disabling firewall software (ZoneAlarm) seem to of fixed the problem.

bosshoff · 10-20-2002, 08:42 AM

I am running flashfxp version 2.0 build 901. I don't have any software running a firewall, but i am behind a linksys router before i get to a cable modem; i don't believe it has a traditional firewall, simply ip masking. Thanks again

to solve this go into preferences -> proxy/firewall/ident tab and click 'send noops during transfer'.

This will keep the connection alive. I had the same problem with my linksys as the router didn't keep the connection alive. The fxp continued but the router blocked the 'file complete' message from the servers.

I have the same problem.
It's a new bug in v2.0. It never happened in v1.43.
I was happy when v2.0 Build 901 released and installed it at once.
I was getting in trouble with v2.0 right away.
It sent QUIT command after PWD command and disconnected. It connected again and started downloading. It sent QUIT command everytime after finished downloading a file and disconnected and reconnect. QUIT command after PWD command didn't show up everytime, just sometimes.
So I unistalled v2.0 and reinstalled old but battle proven v1.43 Build 835.

I saw bug fixed v2.0 Build 902 released and tried it but it's same. So I went back to v1.43 again.
I checked here somtimes to see if there was any walkaround. But there was nothing except some problem reports without log file.
I saw Delerium69's post today and reinstalled v2.0 and tried it. It's getting worse, only sending useless NOOP command. I'm back to v1.43 again now. I'm running it under Windows XP Pro SP1 on ADSL connection. I'm a registered user. So I don't use a cracked version.

Here is the download log file.

I hope this QUIT command bug fixed ASAP so I can use v2.0.
Thanks.

Are you connecting to the site via the Quick Connect or Site Manager? Have you tried using the opposite and does that work?

Does this happen with every site or just some?

petrus · 10-23-2002, 09:35 PM

Thanks for the quick reply bigstar!
I use only Quick Connect. I have never used Site Manager.
It happened with every site.
Downlod Log is from connecting to a PUB and Upload Log is from connecting to my friend's FTP.
It never happened with v1.43 Build 835. So I'm using v1.43 now without any problem even running 6 FlashFXPs at the same time.
FlashFXP is a great product. I really love FlashFXP. If this problem in v2.0 is fixed, I'll be more than happy.
Thanks.

bigstar · 10-23-2002, 09:55 PM

Can you try adding the site to the Site Manager and see if that makes any difference.

This problem seems to be rather rare and the majority are not effected by it. I've went over the code atlest a dozen times. I simply don't know what the problem is at this time.

Have you tried deleting the quick.dat?

petrus · 10-24-2002, 02:07 AM

Thanks.
I can't install v2.0 right now because I'm downloading and uploading now.
I'll try Site Manager after installing v2.0 tomorrow.
When I reinstall other version, I unistall and delete the folder too.
Only thing I do is loading the old Queue(.fqf).

By any chance, is there any possibility this is related to dual processor since you said this is very rare. I have dual PIII 1 GHz on Intel OR840 MB. Alcatel Speed Touch USB modem had a connection problem with dual processor under Windows 2000. My ISP's Tech Support had no idea why it didn't work. I found a solution by using PCI USB card. I found the cause from the FAQ on Alcatel web site several months later. They pointed MS for onboard USB driver implementation. WinXP doesn't have that kind of problem. Also I'm using Alcatel Speed Touch home now. It's a NIC based modem. No more drivers. I have seen some programs had a problem with dual processor in the past. If code has been changed a lot in v2.0, you should look after that too. It's just my suggestion. I'm just curious if the original poster of this topic has a dual processor system too.
Thanks again.

bigstar · 10-24-2002, 04:43 AM

ooooh it might have something to do with the queue, v1.x and v2.x use a different queue format though it's intended for backwards compatiblity, perhaps loading a v1.x queue is what causes this problem.

petrus · 10-24-2002, 01:10 PM

Yes, you are right.
I found the cause of the problem. The curprit was loading v1.43's queue to v2.0.

I uninstalled v1.43 and deleted FlashFXP folder.
I installed v2.0. No more queue files.
I connected to the same PUB and put files in queue and started downloading.
I disconnected from the PUB. (I did it for test.)
I reconnected the PUB using queue.

It has been working flawlessly for several hours without any QUIT command since I reconnected.
No more QUIT command after completing each files nor QUIT command after PWD.
I suspected loading old queue files once but dismissed it. Because v1.43 worked flawlessly with v2.0's queue files. So why v2.0 not working with v1.4's queue files? Even v1.43 has a good forwards compatibility.

Thanks a lot bigstar!

You have the best Tech Support.
I'm a happy camper now.

Regards,

petrus

bigstar · 10-24-2002, 02:46 PM

I'm glad that sovles the problem..

A v2.x queue is much different than v1.x, I'm not quite sure how you managed to load it into v1.x.

petrus · 10-24-2002, 04:04 PM

Thanks.
There wasn't anything special.
I just copied them back to FlashFXP folder after fresh install.
Of course FlashFXP doesn't show them on startup.
I used Load Queue. It loaded them and created new queue files.
v1.43 has no problem using queue files created by v2.0.
But v2.0 has a problem using queue files created by v1.43. It keeps sending QUIT command. That's why I joked it forwards compatibility.
Thanks a lot!
