Download FlashFXP 4.1.7 build 1688

IniCom Networks has released version 4.1.7 build 1688 of FlashFXP. This ftp client can upload and download files to and from an ftp server. In addition, the program can 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. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

4.1.7 maintenance release

• Improved http proxy and ftp ssl/tls handshakes.
• Improved passive mode connections through a proxy server.
• Fixed: [ftp/list/parser] trailing spaces in file/folder names were being truncated.
• Fixed: [ftp/ssl] Improved and addressed some issues related to ssl session re-use on the data connection socket.
• Fixed: [ftp/ssl] When closing the ssl session of a data connection FlashFXP wasn’t waiting for an answer from the server, technically this is acceptable but could be a security risk? This change makes FlashFXP compatible with vsftpd when the config setting strict_ssl_read_eof=Yes
• Upgraded SFTP engine to the latest version.
• Fixed: [UI/drawing/non-themed] a small area of ​​the toolbar background wasn’t being painted correctly and displayed random colors.
• Fixed: [ftp/upload] In some situations the upload would fail with a “File Read Error”.
• Fixed: [ftp/proxy/data connection] When connecting to a local proxy via the hostname if the hostname resolved to an IPv6 address in some cases the IPv6 address was treated as an IPv4 address resulting in a data connection failure.
• improved: [site configuration] Site Manager > FTP > Option “Use site IP for passive mode connections”. The previous build wasn’t using this option correctly causing a malfunction on some FTP servers.
• Fixed: [transfer/case conversion] Filename case conversion option when using ‘first character upper case’ the first character was not upper-cased.
• Fixed: [queue] When performing an en-queued delete operation if the connection to the server was lost then FlashFXP did not mark the delete operation as failed and go onto the next item in the queue.
• improved: [local browser/tree] The performance of local browser tree navigation when navigating network file locations.
• Fixed: [task scheduler/task] When using the weekly schedule and selecting Wednesday, it would report a COM error “the parameter is incorrect”.
• Fixed: [proxy] SOCKS/HTTP proxy issue when using a local LAN based proxy to connect to a remote FTP server where the FTP server PASV reply returns a local LAN IP address.
• improved: [site configuration] Site Manager > FTP > Option “Use site IP for passive mode connections”, This setting now has 3 states, unchecked (off), checked (on), and intermediate (auto-detect).
• Fixed: [key manager] Exporting public and private keys through the key manager. (BUG #619)
• Fixed: [ftp/data connection] after a passive data connection failure the retry attempt would also fail because an internal state flag wasn’t reset back to default.
• Fixed: [sftp/upload] a defect triggered by uploading a 0 byte file using the SFTP protocol, after the upload completed the next upload or directory listing would fail.
• Added: [custom commands] the ability to create symbolic links (SFTP protocol) using a custom command, the syntax is “SITE SYMLINK ”
