Thanks! I would love to test the new version!

And no problem.. Sorry I didn't answer faster... You know how work goes sometimes..

I set it to Western (ISO Latin 1).. I assume that is the same thing.

I don't get any funky Japanese characters anymore, that is a good thing, and I do see the 250- message come up in Transcript View now..

But it still just sits there after that

Is anyone else having trouble with PRET? I tested some other sites that are none PRET and they all seem to work ok…. So I don’t know.

Sadly I don't run the FTPd so I can’t get you access. Wish this could get fixed to... I really like this software.

I don’t want to use windows, and captain ftp is well just ok..

Ok playing with it some more.. heh sorry for all the posts

It seems that when it errors it may not be what files are in the directory but that the directory has like a message when you enter it???

Example:

250 Directory changed to /folder/sub1/
CWD CD2

250 Directory changed to /folder/sub1/sub2

(and that is it, nothing else)

This is shown in the “FTP Transcript” log, but when you select view transcript under “view” all you get in the Japanese characters….. ?

So I am wonder if the characters used in the message, is causing it to get stuck when trying to enter that folder?

when I connect it gives an error "must use secure connection"

Soo I guess the server needs SSL/TLS. I did try another SSL server and I did get the same resultes.

After playing around with it for a little bit I noticed something

If the folder has files in the folder it seems to hang, but if it just has another folder or nothing at all, it works fine.

Example:

/folder/sub/ if sub has nothing in the folder or just a folder to sub2 it works as long as sub2 has no files in it.

/folder/sub/sub2/ if sub2 has nothing in the folder, or just has folder(s) to sub3a, sub3b, sub3c it will allow you to go to any of them as long as there are no files in them. (must be empty or have other folders, no files)

And if any of the folders have files in them, it seems to hang

This seems to be something to do with PRET since PRET puts files on different servers that are connected with the FTPd.

Not sure if it is related to the PRET setting but when I connect to an FTPd (DrFTPd)  that is running PRET some strange things happen.

When connected it lists the “/” folder just fine, and it shows all folders within the “/” folder. When you enter one of the folders within the root folder, it lists all the sub folders in that folder.
Example: /Folder/
At this point when you try to go into the next level folder
Example: /Folder/subfolder/
just hangs, and says 
"Fetching file/folder listing..."
Item :"subfolder "
Also the blue bar just sits and keeps (scrolling?)

It also gives all these crazy (Japanese’s?) charters when you select the "view transcript"
Yet it is set to Default Encoding " Unicode (UTF-8)
I can’t tell if it has an error or not, due to all the Japanese charters.

The bookmark is also setup with Secure (FTPS SSL/TLS), and use FTP PASV.

Now the ftp works fine with Captain FTP, as well as FlashFXP on windows, so I don't think its a server issue.

Any help would be great.
