Hello.
EDIT: False alarm! It is all my fault, and i feel really stupid, and apologize a thousands of times! Sorry!
So just ignore this bug report, except the little extra bug report at the end of this post.
SmartFTP is great, but i've found a slightly serious bug in version 2.0:
I tried to download a file which turned out to be a "virtual link", and SmartFTP was not able to read it properly. So it didnt redirect me to the real file. Instead, it tried to download the virtual link to my local folder, and expanded the target file over and over. This could fill a hard drive, and even if nothing would crash (thanks to the security system watching the free space), it would be a waste of time to create, and delete, a 80 Gigabyte file. And its not very friendly to the hard drive either.
So IMO this is slightly serious.
Here is the virtual link: (lol) ftp://anonymous:user%40host.com@ftp.image...ick-windows.zip
No password or annoyances, just a usual FTP server.

Then, i change the folder to /pub/imagemagick/windows/ manually.
I drag the virtual link to my local folder browser, and its downloading.
And until i ABOR manually, it has created a 565 KB big file... :
Though i have a slow internet connection... imagine what would happen with a 100 mbit/s connection...
I apologize i have not tried the latest version to see if this has been fixed, but i felt i could tell you about this anyway.
Good luck fixing this! (if you have nt done already)
And btw, there is one small annoyance with 2.0.1002 or whatever is the name of the latest 2.0 build: When SmartFTP asks me whether i want to replace an existing file, the information about the new file and the existing one has been swapped some way. Like, if i want to replace PROG.EXE (120 777 bytes, modified 9 april) with PROG.EXE (140 566 bytes, modified 12 april), it asks me whether i want to replace PROG.EXE (140 566 bytes, modified 12 april) with PROG.EXE (120 777 bytes, modified 9 april). LOL
