Editing files stuck in Transfer Queue - AS/400

I am on an AS/400. When I login I do a "site namefmt 1". I used to be able right-click on a file and edit it. When I do this now it keeps retrying in the transfer queue. I think the reason for this is because SmartFTP is obtaining a new connection but it isn't using namefmt 1. The AS/400 is a little weird and has multiple file systems. The default filesystem has a 10 character limit on names. namefmt 1 lets you use another file system. This used to work. I'm looking through the settings now but nothing's jumping out at me. I updated because of other problems editing files (at times the file monitoring would stop working and I'd have to manually "Process" those files I was working on). double-clicking on the file I'm attempting to edit brings up this.

[10:39:46] Initializing. Transfer Queue v1.0.16.4.
[10:39:46] CWD home/kbeard/ftp
[10:39:46] 501 Specified object name too long, limit is 10 characters: kbeard/ftp/.
[10:39:46] Transfer failed.

The problem is that SmartFTP is using a new connection and this connection doesn't know anything about the commands you manually sent in the other connection. I'm implementing the "Commands After Login" feature now. This should correct the problem.

Ok, this used to work before in build 1021. The only reason I upgraded is because I noticed file monitoring would stop working so I thought there might be a fix. Is there a link where I can go and download the older version I was using? If I can't do what I was doing before then this version of SmartFTP is useless because that's all I do with it all day long - edit as/400 files on my pc.

Hello Kelly ..

Please install the latest version from here:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

There is a new feature which allows you to set commands to be sent to the server right after the login. Go to the FTP page in the favorite properties of your favorite.

With this feature you should be able to use the latest version with the edit feature.

Mat

The input box is a multi line edit box. You have to separate the commands with Ctrl+Enter.

Can you post the log of your FTP session from the Remote Browser?

Thank you.

Here it is. IBM makes sure they don't conform to too many standards and they sure as heck aren't up to date with what everyone else is doing so they're kinda like the 'special' kid in the family.

The problem is that many servers support MDTM but do not announce it in the FEAT reply. SmartFTP will only send 1 MDTM per directory now. I'm planning to improve this further in the future.

Can you please try it again with the latest version?

Hello Kelly ..

If you have a chance can you try the latest beta version:
https://www.smartftp.com/download

MDTM should now only be sent once per session if it fails and not once per directory listing as in the last beta.

Thank you.

Regards,
Mat

Hello Kelly ..

I'm unable to reproduce this problem. This should not be related to operating system on the server.

Can you please post the system information from the menu: Help->About "System Information" dialog.

Regards,
Mat
