Download FlashFXP 4.2.3 build 1771

IniCom Networks has released version 4.2.3 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 by no means used by all ftp programs supported. 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:

Security updates

• Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1c. see OpenSSL Security Advisory

New and Improved features

• Improved file upload routine to keep the file open throughout the entire upload process, this should eliminate issues where FlashFXP attempts to upload the file only to have it fail with an open/access error.
• Added the ability to store x509 certificates/ssh keys with a passphrase, you will be prompted to enter a password any time the certificate or ssh key is loaded.
• Improved logical/natural sorting. The hybrid method we were using didn’t always match the operating system.
• Improved FTP directory list handling and parsing. Typically each entry should end in a CR/LF, but this isn’t always the case and some FTP servers use LF or CR.
• Improved the behavior of Transfer (via queue list > right-click ), if the connection attempt is delaying for retry it will now trigger a reconnect, rather than waiting the duration of the retry delay.
• Improved drawing of the file list, in some cases moving the mouse over the file list would cause some items to randomly erase and not draw correctly.

Bug fixes

• Fixed a bug in the UNIX style list parser when parsing certain timestamps and as a result the entry displayed the wrong timestamp.
• Fixed [interface/keyboard] issue that prevented item selection/unselection when using control+space key combination.
• Addressed an issue with the natural sorting algorithm that resulted in an incorrect sort order.
