smartfp going into an endless loop

When files are added to the global queue and during the download these files are being removed from the server then smartftp will try to endlessly download these files although they are no longer available.

Of course it does. It might be that the file only temporarily disappeared from the server, so SmartFTP keeps on trying to download it. Setting Tools -> Settings -> Queue, Transfer -> Max Retries to any larger value than 0 should stop this behavior.

But isn't it a big difference if smartftp retries to download a file that is actually on the server and smartfp trying to download a file that no longer exists at all?

Stefan

There is no guaranteed way to figure out if the file is temporary missing or permanently.

Understood. Seems to be a more or less unsolvable problem. For the time being I will use the retry setting to make this work for me.
