  Hi !
• That can be problems of the remote server itself.
• Please, show here parts of the FTP-log file as "code", one with a failure and another where the transfer is successful. You can hide the private infos with xxx or so...
- To get a log file: Configuration >> Options >> FTP :
tick the box Create a log-file, and fill the field beside.

Hi!
Transfer error is really frequent thing on many FTP servers. Usually occures when there is slow transfer speed (connections or server are overloaded). In case you have such problems only with TC then provide us the logs (as Clo has mentioned above)

I have a request for a new option in wcx_ftp.ini: "IgnoreFTPTransferError" or similar, where you can specify whether a "transfer failed - continue?"-box should be suppressed and have the program skip the file and continue with the next one.

If you start downloading a lot of files and leave your computer, it would be great to suppress these dialogs and instead log them to a file, so you could go back and transfer any missing files later instead of the whole transfer stopping, waiting for this user input.. When transfering on a fairly unstable connection, this would be better than to have to go back to the computer and specify 'yes' every now and then.. What do you think?

This feature is would be very helpful - automatic redownloading when transfer failed (connection is lost, idle time is too high, etc.)

You could have more options to this flag, i.e.

0 = query user (current behaviour)
1 = abort the operation and halt
2 = ignore error, skip current file and continue
3 = retry file automatically (x number of times)

Option 3 here could again trigger two new possible settings, 'FTPRetrySetting' and 'FTPRetryCount' (and possible also 'FTPRetryDelay'), where you could i.e set it to retry 5 times with 20 seconds delay, and if it still couldn't copy, it could eitther a) abort the whole operation or b) ignore and try the next file.

I do understand that TC is not a full-fledged replacement for a dedicated FTP client, but these features should hopefully not be too difficult to implement.

What do you guys think?

That is a good idea

[Jqn]

YES. it's A GOOD IDEA.

And, developing this idea, it would be very useful to have a group in wincmd.ini like this:

[Automatic options]
6=yes
7= yes
1202=2
....

(The numbers of questions are copied from Language\wcmd_xxx.lng).

Now we may move too far, some questions may sound the same but can be used in different context. We should rather stay with normal options in wincmd.ini/wcx_ftp.ini, like (mentioned above):
'FTPRetrySetting' and 'FTPRetryCount', 'FTPRetryDelay', etc.
