SmartFTP Client 2.0 Beta - Bugs

SmartFTP 2.0.992.7 does have an bug with Info: URL and Login & Password promt. If there haven't been wroted username and/or password in favourites lists favourite item's settings it sends empty username and/or password to ftp server and ftp server says incorrect or wrong username and/or password. It doesn't open the "Info: URL and Login & Password promt" -window to ask favourite item's username and/or password.

if add new ftp in favorites, smartftp promt error and get down
missing "parent folder" to jump back

bodo

If choose "Restore Workspace on Start", It always access Floppy Drive when Start (LocalBrowser opened)

Graphical glitch: Open the Settings Dialog, click on the "Interface" tree item and change to another tree item before closing the dialog. The edit boxes for password, port, threads and kbps/thread use the wrong font (I guess its Arial).

Installer: Does not seem to create Start Menu items (at least it didn't on my PC). Well ... ok I do understand the reasoning, I would have preferred having a Start Menu icon though (like "SmartFTP 2.0 BETA").

There seems to be a bug with the Settings Dialog, too, - it forgot all my Settings once. Can't reproduce it though.

UPNP: The UPNP implementation is not as robust as in 1.5. After playing with 2.0 for a few minutes, it is no longer able to get port mappings. Restarting the client doesn't fix it, and changing the port range doesn't either. After that I started 1.5 to see if it is a problem with the system, but in 1.5 it still works.

The installer thing is not bug, it also don't adds SmartFTP to add and remove programs, but that's because it's beta.

The 'Queue Finish' seems to not work.
I set 'Asterisk' and checked 'Show Popup'.
When the Global Queue finished, no sound and no sort of popup.

Settings/Transfer/Speed Limits/Global Download Limit has no effect. Connection d/l limit works but changing it has no effect on the already running task (is it intentional or is it a bug?). (Setting the kbps/thread limit on the Transfer Pane works.)

In addition, the font type of the password and port fields on the login toolbar looks different from that of the login field, and somewhat too big or too thick.

File Exist not save when changed in the Transfer Settings after restart program

Version: 2.0.992.15

+ Global setting for d/l speed limit works, thanks for fixing it.

- This is just an annoyance since it has no harmful effects: after a q task fails it schedules a retry - so far it's normal, but if the q is stopped manually now then the retries are converted into scheduled downloads, at least this is what appears in the status column on the transfer queue pane: 'Waiting for retry' changes into 'Scheduled for xx:xx:xx'. This scheduling is, however, not executed because the q itself is stopped, and even if started the d/l commences normally and the 'Scheduled for...' text is replaced by the normal downloading status.

Unsolved in 2.0.992.16

This is very promising, I love the new look and feel!

Wasn't SmartFTP 2.0 supposed to be much easier when it comes to queing? I see that the Session Queue is removed, but what about adding a checkbox to the interface where you can select if the default operation (direct transfor or using the global queue) when draggin files from the left to the right explorer view (or the other way). I want to be able to use the global queue as default. At least when you drag files holding the right mouse button this should be a option in the context meny to use the global queue (not just copy / move).

Happy christmas to the whole developement team!

Such an option has been included a long time ago, even in SmartFTP 1.x. You need to go to Tools -> Settings, General -> Navigation. There you can select the "Default Drag & Drop Operation".

as I posted here: https://www.smartftp.com/forums/20-Probl ... 10192.html

I didn't realize the bugs board had a 2.0 section so i'll re-post it here.

While connecting I find it bad that the username is automaticly uppercased with the first letter. My server only accepts lowercase and causes me to fail login. Is there a way to keep the first letter lowercased, other then putting a space in front of it?

Also the xxx.com - xxx where the end is the persons username... It is a good idea and destinguishes users but when connecting more then once quickly it tells me the URL is incomplete. Just some things i'm having problems with, thought I'd let you know.

minor bugs I would say just useability bugs.

2.0.992.16

File Exist > Compare using a hash function for file exist action not save when changed in the Transfer Settings after close Settings

Hi,
I'm having these issues (2.0.992.18):
- Settings->Connection: if I uncheck "Enable UPnp (Universal Plug&Play)" and press ok the next time I open the Settings the option is still checked.
- Settings->Connection: no matter the value I set for Retry Delay SmartFTP always tries to reconnect after 60 seconds (try for example a FTP site that doesn't exist).
- if I connect to a site and close the remote window while it's still connecting I can see an empty tab (with the name of the site I was connecting to); if I change window and come back to SmartFTP this tab is removed and the window is normal again (seems like a window repainting issue). EDIT: seems to happen only if the prompt "Close Remote Window?" is enabled, otherwise it works fine.

Another non-SmartFTP issue: the link for SmartFTP 2.0 ( https://www.smartftp.com/download ) offers build 18, though build 19 should have come out (correct me if I'm wrong).

Minor request: a better looking icon for local browser if possible

Thanks

Dark Side:
>UPnP option not saved.
Fixed in .19

>Retry Delay.
Unable to reproduce. Change the retry delay in the favorite item settings. You can use the "Favorite Item Settings" button in the toolbar in the Remote Browser.

>Build 18/19
The changelog is not always up-to-date with the beta version available.

>Minor request: a better looking icon for local browser if possible
Will be considered.

Thanks for reporting.

@ mb:
First of all thanks for the quick answers
I'm posting this issue again because you answered while I was editing my message

- if I connect to a site and close the remote window while it's still connecting I can see an empty tab (with the name of the site I was connecting to); if I change window and come back to SmartFTP this tab is removed and the window is normal again (seems like a window repainting issue). EDIT: seems to happen only if the prompt "Close Remote Window?" is enabled, otherwise it works fine. Just verified for build 19 too.

Thanks again

EDIT: About the retry delay: I changed the delay to another value, pressed ok, changed it again to 30 seconds and now it works correctly. Don't know what happened but now it's ok

2.0.992.20

Passwords in Favorites is always hidden. "Interface > Show Password" not working.

2.0.992.20

Can't use the chinese username to re-login any time and the first time was OK.

The same

using 2.0.992
in the config on the 'File Exists' page under 'Transfers'
none of the 9 dropdown boxes for the queue save their selected values when the program is closed
each time i restart the program i have to reset these values

very annoying

You must update to the last build (2.0.992.20), it fixes your trouble.

When connecting to a remote location get this error after every program execution.

AppName: smartftp.exe appVer: 2.0.992.14 ModName: sfftplib.dll
ModVer: 1.5.7.5 Offset: 000a6ffb


2.0.992.15
view >> arrange icons >> by date >> does not work

I cannot reproduce the problem. Please send detailed step by step instructions how to reproduce. Without them the problem cannot be fixed.
The bug is present in version 2.0.992.22

to connect a ftp >> Click on the menu >> view >> Arrange icons by date (Not effect)

I have change the icons using iconpacker, such as the icon for folder, my computer. When display using large icon in smartFtp, there is no problem, it will display my icons correctly . But, when use the title model, it will disply the default system icons instead of my custom icons.

Would you please fix this problem in future version?

Thanks.

I find you software on web and like it very much, I use it every day when I switch on my laptop. It really is a perfect software.

hi,

installation does work on my 64bit system, but when i try to connect the app freezes and looks like the connect to ftp server does not work properly (the last i see is that it shall be connected but while otherwise the ftpserver 220 message comes up at this point here the app freezes). version 1.5 the stable one can connect with exactly the same environment without problems.

anybody got an idea?

regards peet

Hi what build are you ussing? for me run's fine the last build.

Edit Favourites Problem

The problem is as follows

1. Start Edit favourites
2. Make a new folder
3. drag the default favorites into the new folder
4. create a new folder
5. add a new favourite to the new folder
6. close the edit window
7. close SmartFTP
8. at this point all favourites are lost and the SmartFTP crashes

I have been able to reproduce this on my system and have a screen video if required.

Also I dont think SmartHook.dll is installed in the beta version, I had to install the old version to get the file.


regards,

tombr...

Workspace cannot be restore on SmartFTP start.

2.0.992.40

Selection Groups (Ctrl+0-9) not working in Local Browser if used shortkey.
Working from menu.

2.0.993.3

Selection Groups (Ctrl+0-9) still not working in Local Browser.
And not working from menu now.
Always add to current selections, not select only one group.

Sorry my fault:-( Would be fixed with the next release!!!

Not sure if this is a bug or a "feature" but when drag-and-dropping from a local browser to a remote host in 2.0.993, if the mouse is hovering the text of a filename in the directory, the round cursor with the bar through it shows and the file isn't tranferred if you drop it. This doesn't happen if you just miss the text, or over any of the other parameters so I presume it's a bug, perhaps connected to renaming.

Definitely not a bug, but the quick transfer toolbar isn't very pretty. Maybe it should have the same gradient at the very top as the background behind the tabs so that gradient is continuous.

Keep the great work up SmartFTP 2 is just too unbelievably amazing for words!

Since the two (or three) latests builds, I have sometime an error window at startup (I have a saved workspace) :

Title : Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files\SmartFTP Client 2.0\SmartFTP.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an usual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

When I click OK, it closes SmartFTP, and when I restart, it works fine.
