Reconnect when invalid password?

J-J · 01-30-2003, 08:19 AM

I was thinking. Does it make sence to try to reconnect when an invalid password is detected?

--------------
331 User J-J OK. Password required
PASS (hidden)
530 Authentication failed, sorry
Connection failed
Delaying for 120 seconds before reconnect attempt #1
--------------

My password is invalid so obviously i can't login. Now why should FlashFXP try to reconnect?

Just a thought,

You make a good point, and although I do agree it could be changed at one point in the future, I do not think they should make it a priority.

True. If anything should be changed it should have low priority.

Some ftp servers will reply with this error number when the ftp server is full and your account doesn't give you permission to login.

Also if the ftp server is being restarted/loaded and is still in the process of loading it may return a number code like this, but if you keep trying eventually it will finish loading and let you in.

530 simply means not logged it, there are many possiblites not just incorrect password.

As a result FlashFXP will keep trying no matter what the error number.
