Version 3 "freezes" at start of upload

I have just upgraded from V2.5 which was working perfectly to V3.0 and it does not work. I read the forum and found 2.5 and 3.0 will not work togethet so uninstalled both, then reinstalled 3.0 ( I cannot find my version of 2.5). It still does not upload. This is what I get:

I have just been reading the thread by xxEIEIOxx and the problems he had last month are the same as I am having now, so, for further info which might help, I am trying to upload graphics files from an external USB hard drive (FREECOM) running as drive F. I have also tried another FTP site with the same problem. I had no problems a couple of days ago using 2.5. Hope this helps.

I am another user who happily deployed 2.5 and am having numerous problems, including this one, with 3.0.

Is there any way to stick with 2.5 forever? Even if I pay?

ardee: You can purchase a license and you will be able to use version 2.5. Only the unlicensed version expires.

GER: Post a screenshot showing the transfer queue, the remote browser and the empty transfer queue item log. See the readme on how to do so.

Hi Mat,

If I purchase a license for $36.95, will I be able to use 2.5 forever after without additional payments? I'm just a home user and normally use free software or software that costs $10 or less. This is a very expensive program for me, so I need to know that it will never cost me money hereafter.

Thank you,

-ardee.

ardee: Yes

Mat, what scares me is the "one year maintenance" part. What happens after one year? (Will the program refuse to run like the freeware version does, demanding an upgrade?)

Also, I've already installed 3.0. How do I buy and install 2.5?

Thank you again,

-ardee.

Hello ..

The maintenance includes free upgrades and technical support. After the maintenance plan expires it means that upgrades (e.g. version 3.0 to version 4.0) are no longer free. If you don't want to upgrade you don't need to purchase anything else. The licensed version will never expire.
You can purchase a license at:

Instructions on how to install version 2.5 will be sent you after purchase.

Why did you enable the Auto Dialer? Disable it in the Settings->Queue or click on the Auto Dialer icon in the Transfer Queue toolbar.

OK, I know not how or when it got enabled, but this morning I re-installed with the latest version of the program just now, it still did not upload, then I saw your reply, disabled the auto-dialer and tried again. It seems to work but the file sizes transferred do not agree with what should have been transferred and I am not yet able to verify the uploaded files for completeness. Will let you know after further checks. Thanks for help so far.

OK, I have checked the uploaded files and they appear to be correct, but the file size displayed by yr program after uploading is erroneous. Also a note for those who think they are losing files, yes, if you accidentally click the green arrows instead of the blue arrows the files will move, not copy, so they will disappear from your source.
