Download FlashFXP 4.1.2 build 1654

IniCom Networks has released version 4.1.2 of FlashFXP. This ftp client can upload and download files to and from an ftp server. In addition, it can also exchange files directly between two servers, without the information passing through the client first. This so-called File eXchange Protocol is something that not all ftp programs do support. The software can be used in 17 languages ​​and a license is available for 30 dollars. Downloads are available for Windows, U3 and a ‘regular’ USB drive. Since version 4.1, the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes in FlashFXP version 4.1.2 build 1654

• Fixed file name character case conversion during a file upload, the conversion was not always being applied to the file name in some situations. (bug #565)
• The installer update used for the previous update included an unexpected change that resulted in all command line parameters being quoted. This this change was unexpected and broke part of the uninstall process where FlashFXP prompts to remove the program data files.
• Fixed PASV mode when using a FTP proxy. FlashFXP was forcing the server IP when the FTP proxy was located on a local network.
• Fixed the behavior of select-all (ctrl+A) in the file list pane, performing a select-all will now un-select the parent directory. (Bug #571)
• Fixed local file browser slow performance issue navigating to “My computer” if it contained a disconnected or ejected disk.
• Fixed an issue where custom commands weren’t being imported when upgrading from FlashFXP v3.x.
• Changed the list socket data timeout so that its not bound by the connection timeout value, a low connection timeout could result in a lost of connection on a large directory or slow ftp server.
• Improved the file transfer action rule for “rename” to try again on rename failure then if it fails mark the file as failed.
• Fixed the sub-search feature on the server file search dialog where in some cases it would become non-functional.
• Improved the Live-Update feature, future versions will no longer prompt for a download location, the update will download to your temp folder and be deleted after updating.
• Improved performance speed and the efficiency of FTP uploads on high-speed networks.
• Fixed memory leak in key / certificate manager.
• Fixed memory leak in DNS resolver.
• Fixed a defect that prevents logging of scheduled tasks when global logging is turned off and “store logs in unique session folders” is checked.
• Fixed a defect in the path drop-down box requiring a double click to trigger the drop-down.
• Fixed a defect in the logging setting of scheduled tasks that resulted in no logging from occurring.

Changes in FlashFXP version 4.1.2 build 1651:

• Fixed an issue where certain raw command groups contained invalid keyboard shortcuts that would be bound to standard AZ characters without a (alt, ctrl, shift) modifier, in most cases binding to the “e” key, this prevented the “e” character from being entered.
• Fixed an issue with plain text FTP downloads being incomplete (missing the last few bytes) under heavy disk i/o.
• Updated the installer script engine to resolve an issue with FlashFXP failing to install on large hard drives (the previous fix was a crude patch), this is an official update from the developer.
• Fixed ‘compare folder’ and ‘transfer mode’ tool-bar button defective, after clicking the drop-down arrow the button arrow disappeared.
• Fixed defect in the behavior of the “Stalled transfers > Restart transfer if no data transferred” option, when the option was unchecked the feature did not disable as intended and the stall detection timeout was to 0 seconds triggering a timeout.
• Added status-bar status icon indicator to reflect when FTP MODE Z or SFTP compression is enabled.
• Fixed an issue where the “parent folder” item in the server file list was unclickable after performing a remote folder delete.
• Fixed an issue where local browser would revert back to the default local path after a file transfer if the connection is lost or if you’re not connected to the server when the transfer is executed.
• Fixed an issue when importing sites from total commander, the password field wasn’t decrypted correctly.
• Changed the way the navigation tree monitors for folder changes, in previous builds FlashFXP monitored all drives, now only the drive of the selected folder is monitored for changes. This change was needed to resolve an issue that prevented the user from removing removable hard drives while FlashFXP was running.
