Version history for FlashFXP Portable Edition
<<Back to software description
Changes for v5.4.0 build 3966 - v5.4.0 build 3970
- Added a new Character Encoding setting "Strict character encoding" in the Site Manager / Options tab. When checked, FlashFXP will not attempt to detect UTF-8 mixed with non-UTF-8 text. On servers that do not use UTF-8 certain character encodings may incorrectly detect as UTF-8 and as a result garble the text, checking this setting can avoid the issue. We have seen this issue on Xlight FTP server software when using the character encoding Chinese Simplified (GBK/GB2312)
- Fixed: A slow performance startup issue under a remote terminal session when the window state was maximized.
- Change: When running under a remote terminal session we've reduced the amount of memory allowed to be allocated for remote directory caching. The original memory allocation limit was calculated based on a desktop PC and now we a different method for server environments to make FlashFXP more server resource friendly.
- The crash report dialog is now dpi-aware.
- Updated SecureBlackBox library.
- Fixed: In a site profile if the login type was previously set to "Key based" and then changed to "Normal" the previously saved key was still used during authentication and before the password authentication. Now the key authentication is not attempted.
Changes for v5.4.0 build 3956 - v5.4.0 build 3966
- Added a compatibility fix to workaround a MKD issue with Xlight FTP server.
- Fixed: Some users reported a crash in build 3965 when closing FlashFXP, This should now be fixed.
- FlashFXP v5.4.0.3965 @ 03/14/2017
- Change: CLI switches -localpath= and -remotepath= now update the file browser panes switching between local/remote views to reflect the defined mode.
- Fixed: After re-connecting to a site that has idle timed out the local browser changes the path to the one stored in the site profile and then back to the current directory, an unnecessary step and as a side effect cleared the item selection.
- Change: I have refactored the way we use input dialog prompts within FlashFXP, This change should eliminate a long standing access violation crash that a few customers have experienced when adding a new site in the Site Manager.
- FlashFXP v5.4.0.3960 @ 02/17/2017
- Updated OpenSSL to 1.1.0e

- Fixed: Improved support for high DPI and scaling tweaks to several dialogs.
- Fixed: When setting the "Selective Transfer Rule" at the item level via the "Edit Queue item" dialog the selective transfer rule was not reverted back to the previous value when transferring the next item in the queue.
- Fixed: After using one of the hash (i.e. /crc32 /md5 /sha1) macros in a custom command script the busy flag wasn't restored to the previous value at the end of the command and could lead to unexpected interface/script issues.
- Fixed: When sending email notifications via Scheduled Tasks the mail server > proxy server setting wasn't working as intended and as a result the proxy server setting might be ignored when sending emails.
- Fixed: Access violation when aborting or closing FlashFXP while the "Calculate Server space used" dialog is open.
- Fixed: In some rare situations dialog confirmation prompts would malfunction and trigger a crash.

Changes for v5.3.0.3930 - v5.4.0 build 3939
- Our previous fix for parsing [IPv6]:port introduced an unexpected issue parsing IPv4:port on the hostname field. This update addresses the issue.
- FlashFXP v5.4.0.3936 @ 06/17/2016
- Fixed: An issue parsing compressed IPv6 addresses when using the IP address dialog with [IPv6]:port pairs.
- Fixed: An issue that prevented renaming files on the remote server when running FlashFXP under Wine.
- Minor change to the Site Manager, the search bar has been reverted back to the top position to make the work-flow and TAB stops more logical.
- FlashFXP v5.4.0.3935 @ 06/15/2016
- In response to a possible local memory corruption vulnerability that was reported by Vulnerability Laboratory; We have restricted the length of text allowed in all input controls, placed memory restrictions on certain functions to prevent out of memory errors from occurring, and if one gets past our checks we now prevent the application from continuing after an out of memory error.

- Added new per-file-association option located in the File Associations dialog named "Create a backup copy of file original file on upload".
- Changed the behavior of the Server File Search dialog, you can now minimize this dialog.
- Added new /dialog custom command to open dialogs used within FlashFXP, this allows the user to bind a custom shortcut to open these dialogs, more information can be found in the help file.
- Fixed remote browser caching issue when connected to two remote servers (one in each browser pane) when performing a Server File Search on one side while navigating folders on the opposite remote browser caused the folders to not be cached.
- Fixed remote browser caching issue where a failed directory listing or aborting the list operation would clear the cache for all child folders.
- Fixed issue where FlashFXP would sometimes fail to refresh/update the directory content of shared folders when running under a VirtualBox VM, these drives are virtual mapped drives and certain Windows Network API's cannot be called on them otherwise the function calls fail.
Changes for v5.1.0.3839 - v5.1.0 build 3847
- Fixed: Issue with creating a new custom command if no custom commands exist.
- Fixed: Custom Command /deselect when using a modifier i.e. /deselect * :age+1d

- Added new advanced setting via raw command; /set app.os.theme <0|1> set to 0 to turn off theming on list-view and tree-views, 1 to re-enable it. If you're using a dark color scheme it may be more desirable to have themes turned off.
- Added new advanced setting via raw command; /set app.queue.parent <0|1> typically the parent folder entry in the file list cannot be queued/transferred, this override re-enables this behavior allowing the parent directory entry to act as "all items in folder"
- Fixed issue editing UTF-8 files via the internal editor.
- Fixed issue with certain raw commands not executing correctly when run via the transfer queue.
- Changed the way the delete confirmation prompt is shown in the local browser when enabled, if the OS is configured to show a confirmation prompt then that prompt is shown otherwise we display our own confirmation prompt.
- Added new experimental raw command; /copyfile "" "" this command works both locally and remotely, if the server protocol doesn't support a direct copy then the file will be downloaded locally and then uploaded to create the copy.
Changes for v5.1.0.3836 - v5.1.0.3839
- Changed: Reworked the Site Manager dialog, site profile settings have been Reworked so that they are now consistent across all connection types, FTP, SFTP, FTPS. Each connection type now has its own tab for connection specific settings.

- Fixed: SFTP > When the SSH client is unable to automatically launch the SftpServer several alternatives locations are tried automatically, the method for starting these alternatives was flawed and in some cases resulted in a failure to start the SftpServer.
- Fixed: Resolved an issue with an internal function that was used to determine if multiple items were selected, this caused some basic functionality failure under some conditions.
- Fixed: Resolved an issue with the queue list right-click menu and right-click menu shortcuts not always working as intended.
- Changed: A previous fix for resolving an issue with incorrect file icons introduced some undesired lag when scrolling the file listing, the fix has been reworked to eliminate this lag.
- Changed: By default FlashFXP uses the Windows operating system defined fonts, this change was saved even if the user did not change the font, as a result when the system font changed FlashFXP continued to use the old font.
- Changed: The OpenSSL dlls are now statically linked to the FlashFXP.exe, as a result they are now required to use FlashFXP. This was done to resolve issues where in some rare situations FlashFXP was using OpenSSL dlls from another application, which in some cases was an older version of OpenSSL.
- Changed: Custom Commands > @var@ variables can now be used within token modifiers.
- Fixed: Using QueueAs/TransferAs did not use the new filename in some situations.

- Fixed: Loading and executing a saved queue that references sites by ID (i.e Auto saved queues) that no longer exist in the Site Manager could under some conditions cause FlashFXP to get stuck in an infinite loop and lock up.
- Fixed: Under a rare condition the Queue List window might cache the wrong site name and the remark column would display the wrong site name. This did not effect functionality and was only a visual issue.
- Fixed: Local browser drag operations incorrectly passed a UTF-8 encoded path-name when calling a windows API when it should of used Unicode path-name, this caused some drag/drop operations to fail.
- Fixed: After the desktop color depth changes sometimes FlashFXP would incorrectly render the toolbar buttons with an opaque background.
- Fixed: If FlashFXP is left minimized while the local browser is displaying the content of a network drive/location and this location becomes unavailable it could cause FlashFXP to freeze for an unusually long time or lockup when restoring the window.
- Fixed: Synchronized browsing issue where the remote synchronized root path was not correctly defined under some conditions.
- Fixed: Scheduled tasks > If the task failed as a result of being unable to resolve the server host name this reason was not clearly indicated.

Changes for v5.1.0.3828 - v5.1.0.3829
- During the build process of the previous release something went wrong when linking the units and the wrong units were linked. The linked units had the wrong compiler flags and as a result some basic features malfunctioned.
Changes for v5.1.0.3820 - v5.1.0.3825
- Changes made in our previous release have revealed an uninitialized buffer used to store error messages from OpenSSL. This can lead to unexpected errors within FlashFXP.
Changes for v5.1.0.3816 - v5.1.0.3820
- Updated: OpenSSL 1.0.2a
- Added: new option in Preferences dialog under General > Options > Use single color application icon. When checked, the application icon will always be green, rather then changing colors based on the current program state. (red = offline, orange = connecting, blue = connected, transferring = green)
- Fixed: The session console window wasn't displaying lines with length of 1.
- Change: Improved file handling when downloading a single set of files using multiple parallel copies of FlashFXP.
Changes for v5.0.0.3805 - v5.1.0.3816

The download would fail because the cache was stale.
- Fixed: An issue uploading files where the source path+filename was 260 characters or longer.
- Fixed: on the confirmation prompt "Opening separate shell session" the check-box "Don't show this dialog again" the text was missing a UTF-8 to Unicode conversion.
- Fixed: In the remote file browser when sorting by column (owner, group, attrib) the sorted result was incorrect due to a logic error evaluating the "parent directory" item.
- Fixed: SFTP / Keyboard authentication issue. [BUG ID: 1020]
- Updated SBB library (used for x.509 certificates, public/private keys, ssh, and sftp)
- New command script macro: /busybox Displays a busy dialog during script execution with a cancel button.
- Major change to the way FlashFXP handles remote directory listings. Now the auto-detect setting detects UTF-8 and converts non-UTF8 text using the operating system code page. Previously non UTF-8 was displayed using the Windows 1252 code page. This caused problems displaying non-English text such as Korean and Chinese. This change may result in some text being displayed incorrectly. If you experience problems please let me know ASAP. Please provide the name and version of the FTP server software and the language as well as the OS version and language. Additional information may be required.
- Changed: Many internal Unicode to UTF-8 conversions were changed from using CP 1252 to using the operating system locale CP.
- Fixed entering a Unicode pathname in the drop-down path breadcrumb could fail.
- Fixed the Active Edits feature did not always handle Unicode file-names correctly.
- Fixed an issue with timestamps in the session console window, resulting in some incorrect timestamps.
- Changed: Timestamps in the session console window, if you turn timestamps on you will now see timestamps for pre-existing lines in the window.
- Fixed issue with the font select dialog; the font preview used the wrong color.
- Cleaned up parts of the transfer queue routine and removed some flawed code that attempted to swap the direction of a queue item.
- Changed: When a delete operation is performed via the transfer queue FlashFXP makes sure that there are no failed transfers pending, if any are found then they are reset and retried, if the transfer fails again then the transfer queue is now aborted. In Previous builds the delete operation was marked as failed and skipped and the queue continued.
- Major speed improvement when downloading from a ProFTPD/mod_sftp Server.
- Fixed SSH/SFTP compatiblity issue with Sun_SSH that resulted in incomplete/failed uploads.
- Major overhaul to the custom command script engine to resolve an issue where command blocks and script macro includes were sometimes executed in the wrong order. THIS MAY BREAK PRE-EXISTING CUSTOM COMMAND SCRIPTS THAT RELY ON OUT OF ORDER EXECUTION. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THEY WORK AS EXPECTED.
- Fixed an issue in command scripts that caused /shell { } command blocks to stop working.
- Improved the %c (clipboard text) token when the clipboard contains multiple lines of text and is used with the /shell command. i.e. "/shell %c"
- Fixed Unicode encoding issue in the /writeln command when the output filename contained non-UF8 characters.
- Fixed an issue with the /select* commands in the remote browser where the current item selection wasn't correctly cleared before being applied.
- Fixed an issue in the local browser where in some situations the wrong icon was displayed for an item.
- Fixed an issue with using -get with a ftp:// url via the command line.
- Fixed an issue with FTPS uploads where the file transfer would fail and was treated as if it was successful. This could occur if the control channel was lost and the data data channel successfully completed a graceful TLS shutdown without actually sending the entire file.
- Added raw command "/set app.icon.static 1" to set the taskbar/window icon to a static icon, rather than change based on the current state.
- Added raw command "/set app.closetotray 1" to change the behavior of FlashFXP when clicking the close button to minimize to the tray rather than exit. To exit FlashFXP you need to either use Exit from under the Session menu or the tray right-click menu.
- Fixed UTF-8/Unicode encoding issue when using a selective transfer rule that contains UTF-8 encoded characters in the Edit Queue and Edit Scheduled Task dialogs.
- Fixed an issue with selective transfer rules; when the files list action is set to transfer and folder list action is set to skip and the entry in the folder list is an exact match (no wildcard/regex) the folder list action could be ignored and allow the matching folder to transfer.
- Fixed Site Manager > Site Profile > TCP/IP Buffer size > Send/Receive values were reversed on load.
- Fixed double UTF-8 encoding on some SFTP status messages shown in the console window.
- Fixed local browser modified date was rounded to the nearest even second. The SHGetDataFromIDList api doesn't mention this limitation.
Changes for v5.0.0 build 3804 - v5.0.0.3805
- Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.2
- Added new CLI switches -overwrite -ask -resume which can be combined with -download -upload -fxp etc to override the global/per-site transfer rules.
- Updated the Custom command section of the help file and introduced a few new commands.
- Fixed bug in the "Edit and Upload" feature that caused it to malfunction and not work as intended. Basically in some cases the file wasn't added to the Active Edits window. Since the file wasn't added to the Active Edits it was not monitored for changes and FlashFXP was not detecting when the user made changes to the file in turn the file was not uploaded after save.
- The Character Encoding setting is now applied to MLSD directory listings.
- This release contains a couple minor changes based on crash reports.
Changes for v5.0.0 build 3801 - v5.0.0 build 3804

- Fixed rare A/V crash when using the Remote Editing feature caused by an invalid value within the remote edit file object. Added additional sanity checks.
Changes for v5.0.0 build 3784 - v5.0.0.3786
- Fixed A/V parsing mailto: links in the console window, the mailto: prefix is cut from the line but the length of the line isn't updated, causing the memory to be read 7 bytes past the EOL.
- Improved the custom commands progress text on the status-bar by prefixing the status text with the progress.
- Fixed unexpected result after expanding a tree-node in the navigation tree and then refreshing the current directory. FlashFXP failed to switch the current working directory on the server back to the active directory and as a result the file list content was that of the expanded folder.
- Fixed incorrect behavior when a directory listing failed due to a SSL/TLS error FlashFXP was attempting to auto-magically switch PASV/PORT modes when it should not have. It was checking the SSL result of the control socket and not the data socket.
- Fixed an issue that some users experienced in build 3784 with minimizing FlashFXP to the system tray (the main window didn't completely disappear, leaving an unsightly box in the bottom left of the screen).
- Changes to the way custom commands are loaded so that if FlashFXP is running from a removable drive and the drive is removed the custom commands are still available.
- Added local browser specific custom commands /copy /cut /paste that mimic the windows shell operations.
- Fixed several minor UI drawing issue when rendering the content within some dialogs. (i.e. button spacing, bottom border on section headers, etc)
- Fixed a couple minor UI issues and an A/V crash when running FlashFXP under WINE.

Changes for v4.4.2 build 2019 - v4.4.3 build 2029
- Fixed an application crash which could sometimes be triggered by the loss of connection or disconnecting from the remote server.
- Fixed a crash on shutdown that prevented FlashFXP from cleanly closing and sometimes leaving processes running in the background, this was caused by a missing sanity check in the destructor of our threaded timer pool.
- Fixed an issue in the Site Manager that could trigger an access violation when selecting some sites followed by a group. The A/V was caused by code responsible for updating the bookmarks listview control. Specifically when clearing the items.
- Fixed an issue in the Site Manager that could trigger an access violation when using the search bar at the top of the window. The A/V was caused by a the tear down routine that cleared the treeview and updated treeview with matching sites.
- While reviewing the code changes that were implimented to solve the incomplete upload problem I discovered a mistake that failed to deallocate a timer ID from our timer pool (when the object.reset method was called object.remove, resetting the object to the inital state changed the timer ID) and as a result eventually the timer pool became full, disgarding any new requests for a timer ID. As a result some UI elements such as progress bars, the status window console, etc didn't update.

- When an application password is set and the user forgets the password, after 3 failed attempts the user is now prompted to reset their settings and site profiles and start with a clean set of data files. The password protected data files are automatically backed up as a FlashFXP backup file (fbk) to allow for restoration sometime in the future if the user finds or remembers the password.
- Fixed some issues with installing updates via LiveUpdate. Depending on which build you upgrade from these fixes might not be immediately noticeable.
- Fixed local browser shortcut handling issue that caused a folder shortcut to open in a new window.

Changes for v4.4.0 build 1991 - v4.4.0 build 1993
- Fixed an issue where some commands sent to the server enforced a 60 second wait timeout, when triggered the connection to the server was automatically closed. While most commands enforce a wait time limit some commands naturally take longer than others and this has lead to some undesired results. I have modified the code to exclude certain commands from the enforced timeout.
- Fixed caption/option swap in the Preferences dialog > General > Actions. The "Remote file listing" and "URL Clipboard monitor" were swapped.
- X3, Our graphic designer has independently released several new toolbar button sets for FlashFXP, check them out @ http://www.flashfxp.com/toolbars Installing toolbar themes has never been easier simply click the download link for the filename.ffxptheme and opening it with FlashFXP. I am a huge fan of the Vacca VI toolbar set.
- When using the live update feature to download program updates the "run update" button is now disabled on click to prevent multiple instances of the update installer.
- Fixed crash when importing invalid XML via the Site Import feature.
- Fixed dead-lock when importing invalid CSV via the Site Import feature.
- Fixed crash after importing via the Site Import feature.
- Fixed crash in Calculate server space used feature when FlashFXP is closed while a search is in progress.

Changes for v4.3.1 build 1982 - v4.4.0 build 1988
- New and Improved features
- Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1e.
- Updated installer engines for the standard and portable releases.
- Added the ability to change the application data folder after installation via the installer maintenance mode (control panel / programs and features).
- Update: 4x speed improvement when transferring with ProFTPd/mod_sftp server.
- Improved error handling and recovery in the event of a connection loss during rename and chmod operations.
- New feature, when a raw command is executed via the raw command line input and FlashFXP is busy performing an operation the raw command will be en-queued.
- New global hot-key Ctrl+Shift+/ will change the toolbar background to a random solid color, this can be used to help identify which window is which.
- Added the ability to set the toolbar background to a custom solid color (no styling) via the Preferences dialog > Interface > Toolbar > background.
- Added the ability to import toolbar theme packs (.ffxpthemes) to simplify the process of installing and using additional toolbar themes.
- Changed the order in which sub-folders are deleted when deleting from a remote server.
- Improved remote drag/drop handler code to improve compatibility and resolve a possible delay when dragging from the remote browser window.
- Added some additional clean up code to help prevent "System Error. Code: 8." crashes.
- More info at http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=100600
- Bug Fixes
- Fixed a complex issue that resulted in files being uploaded into the wrong location on the remote server. Specifically if the connection was lost while making a remote folder a series of safety checks would fail to detect that the connection was lost before executing a fragment of code that was intended to handle situations where the remote server renames the folder to suit the server file system, this code inadvertently changed the target path to an incorrect location. To address this issue additional safety checks have been added to verify and validate the reply to the make directory command and the connection status state.
- Fixed a rare drawing issue in the user interface that effected a small number of users, resulting in overlapping elements where the previous elements were not erased.
- Fixed: An access violation error in SHLWAPI.dll when sorting the queue list or file list.
- Fixed several crashes when closing FlashFXP while the "Server file search" dialog is active.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes allowed raw commands via the command line input to be executed while FlashFXP was busy performing an operation.
- Fixed an issue with global/per-site file transfer rules not applying to scheduled tasks, instead the scheduled task was always applying the task defined file transfer rules, even if none were defined.
- Fixed scheduled task > new/edit task > schedule tab, the repeat task until setting was allowed to be unchecked on Windows versions prior to Vista, however only Vista and up do not require this setting to be filled in. (This is specific to the Windows Task Scheduler and newer versions of Windows have additional features not found on older versions)
- Fixed an issue where a scheduled task using a dynamic queue would create a temporary queue file each time the task was run.
- Fixed several issues with remote edits.
- If a remote edit was attempted while offline on a file that was previously opened via remote edit during the same session then a file modification was triggered which in turn triggered an automatic upload. (when the default action on save is set to upload)
- Under some rare conditions If the connection to the server is lost while downloading a file for remote edit then FlashFXP would sometimes mistake this as a successful download, when combined with the prior issue this could result in erasing the remote file.
- Under some conditions the "active edits" dialog failed to redraw the file list after a failed upload attempt and the 'modified' indicator wasn't drawn.
- On the "active edits" dialog is a button to switch the view between active edits and all edits; when the display was set to active edits sometimes opening a previously edited file failed to add the active edit into the list.
- On the "active edits" dialog, the right-click command "ReDownload" was broken.

Changes for v4.2.5 build 1813 - v4.3.0 Build 1933
- New and Improved features
- Updated SFTP engine to the latest version.
- Improved screen reader support. If you find some issues please let us know so that we can get them resolved. We've tested with Windows-Eyes and NVDA. All controls should now provide proper descriptions when tabbed, mouse over, or selected.
- Many improvements to the task scheduler. (when modifying or creating a task the syntax and parameters used by FlashFXP have changed, These changes are not backwards compatible with previous releases.)
- Improved FTP uploading where the connection would sometimes be dropped at the end of the transfer.
- Many code optimizations and performance (speed) improvements.
- Added [Site Manager] multiple select to the site list. This should make it easier to manage sites, specifically when wanting to delete or move a selection of sites at a time.
- Improved [Preserve File Date/Upload] feature, this operation is now executed as a separate operation after the file transfer completes, this is done so that if the command fails it doesn't confuse the user into thinking the transfer failed. More information is available on our website at http://www.flashfxp.com/forum/flashfxp/faq/15850-video-file-upload-hangs-99%25.html
- Changed [Task Schedule] property repeat until configuration to allow "until" to be optional, when unchecked the task will run indefinitely. Previously there was no clear way to set this.
- Added [Translation] input validation for the Personal ID number field.
- Improved [Queue/Operation] en-queue delete logic to check to see if the same file/folder is queued for transfer and re-order the delete operation if determined that the file would be deleted prior to transfer. Most users would want to delete the file after the transfer not before. This check is on the source file location.
- Added [file list] icon shortcut overlays to symbolic links to files, when the file is detected as a symbolic link, not all servers will indicate when a file is actually a symbolic link.
- Improved [tree navigation] performance by eliminating a bottleneck that resulted in a 50% speed increase during certain operations.
- Added the ability to drop external folders/shortcuts on the local browser address bar to quickly jump to the folder of the dropped item.
- Improved performance (6x speed increase) when transferring many small files over low latency connections.
- Added the ability to use the keyboard shortcut shift+End during a rename (f2) to select the whole filename.
- Changed the way data channel sockets/objects are created and managed to improve efficiency and performance.
- Improved the way site to site transfers are aborted. This new method has been tested with pure-ftpd, gene6 ftp, proftpd, glftpd, ioftpd, vsftpd, drftpd, and serv-u.
- Added a file replace dialog when attempting to move a file into a location that already contains a file with the same name allowing the user to select the desired action, overwrite, skip, rename, cancel.
- Improved the user experience (reduced flicker) when minimizing and restoring the main window to/from the maximized state.
- Improved content layout and position when using large fonts or font scaling.
- Bug fixes
- Fixed [Task Schedule] property 'Expire on' setting, the setting wasn't being set correctly when FlashFXP was run on Windows Vista or newer.
- Fixed [server/transfer/abort] access violation when the server returned a multi-line reply during an abort operation.
- Fixed [interface/prompts] FlashFXP would sometimes disappear from the task list (alt+tab) when certain child windows were active.
- Fixed [browser/file list] issue that prevented renaming under Wine.
- Fixed [LiveUpdate] crash when canceling a "check for upgrade".
- Fixed [Site Manager] crash when performing a site list search when the selected site is modified and not yet saved. (error occurred while displaying the save changes prompt)
- Fixed [FTP/PROXY/MODE Z] download/listing issue when using a SOCKS Proxy on a FTP server with MODE Z enabled.
- Fixed [Application] crash (Invalid Pointer Operation) triggered under some conditions when using a screen reader with FlashFXP.
- Fixed [Application] text drawing gitches while in screen reader mode.
- Fixed [Application] double buffer drawing with DWM composition enabled.
- Fixed list-view column text, it was rendered upside down and reversed on some systems.
- Added a 60 second data socket connection timeout, this is the maximum time FlashFXP wait for a data connection to connect.
- Fixed an issue where the Windows 7 taskbar progress would incorrectly start at 90%.
- Fixed an issue where the user was unable to transfer any files after canceling a transfer, the cancel flag was not reset in some situations.
- Fixed [server file search/result list] issue where symbolic links weren't shown with the shortcut overlay icon.
- Fixed [server file search/delete operation] issue where symbolic links were treated as folders when in fact they should of been treated as files.
- Fixed [queue list] item selection issue when the queue list is focused using the tab key on the keyboard. The selected items might appear selected but attempting to perform an operation such as delete would fail.
- Fixed [server/operation] issue when trying to move a file or folder, the operation could fail without any indication as to why it failed.
- Fixed [server file search] crash if you close FlashFXP while the server file search is dialog open.
- Fixed [status window] drawing issue where in some situations the last 2-3 lines of text might be delayed and not shown until the FlashFXP window was activated or the status window was scrolled.
- Fixed a couple focus/selection issues when using tab and ctrl+tab.
- Fixed a application crash triggered during the SSL/TLS connection handshake.
- Several minor fixes in the remote sever search feature.
- Several minor fixes in the remote file edits feature.
- Fixed an issue that prevented FlashFXP from shutting down correctly under some conditions and leaving the FlashFXP process running.
- Fixed an issue that could sometimes result in erroneous transfer failed message on connection lost when there was no transfer in progress.
- Fixed an issue triggered after completing a remote server search or closing the remote server search dialog where the current remote directory listing might not display the correct content for the current directory.
- The default value for TCP/IP Keep Alives has changed from 2 minutes to 120 minutes.
- Fixed several issues when performing a remote move folder operation.
- Under some conditions the connect and disconnect buttons were not enabled when they should have been. Fixed.
- Changed the way the local browser handles windows shortcuts when "use accurate shell icons" is unchecked.
- Fixed a many UI elements that weren't properly scaled/positioned when using large fonts.
- Sometimes FlashFXP would display double confirmation prompts when FlashFXP is closed. Fixed.
- Fixed several problems related related to the liveupdate feature, specifically when launching the newly downloaded update.
- Fixed a situation where the local browser could appear blank and or not update correctly after a non-critical failure while navigating.
- Fixed [upload] file read error during file upload.
- Fixed [window/state] when restoring FlashFXP from the system tray if the previous window state was maximized then under some conditions the window state might not be restored.
- Fixed [thread/timer] a race condition in timer/helper thread. This race condition caused things in FlashFXP to malfunction. Such as the local browser wouldn't update automatically to show new/modified files in the current folder.
- Fixed [socket/bind] error when using FlashFXP with a transparent proxy such as Proxifier, where opening the data connection would fail with a Data Socket Error: Can't assign requested address.
- Fixed [DNS] When resolving the server hostname some DNS servers are returning two identical IP records, if the connection fails this can result in an immediate retry attempt and an endless loop ignoring any defined retry delay.
- Fixed [server file search dialog] the "look in" field couldn't be selected via the tab key.
- Fixed [Proxy/Socks5] compatibility issue when connecting to some Socks5 servers using the hostname of the FTP/SFTP server. Connecting with a IP address was unaffected.
- Fixed MLST issue with PS3 FTP server (multiman).
- Fixed [socket/receive buffer] contained stale data on the control connection, in some situations the receive buffer wasn't cleared prior to a re-connection attempt following a connection failure. This issue was detected when using a Socks5 proxy but it's likely that other situations also triggered this issue.
- Right clicking in the tree navigation wasn't changing the active side selection bar (below the browser panes) when the current browser wasn't focused/selected. Fixed.
- Fixed access violation error that would sometimes occur when renaming a folder.
Changes for v4.2.5 build 1810 - v4.2.5 build 1813
- Fixed: Selective transfer rules aren't being applied correctly, in some cases either they're completely ignored or all files are skipped.
- Fixed: In some cases FlashFXP would crash when using a screen reader while hovering over some text or when closing a child window.
- Fixed compatibility issue with NVDA screen reader when hovering over a richedit control, this problem is caused by a bug in NVDA but I have found a way to work around it until they fix the problem.
- Fixed: When the option "request file size/date prior to transfer" is enabled FlashFXP will now check to see if the source file still exists before performing a site to site transfer, this will eliminate additional delays should the file no longer exist, and depending on the FTP server software aborting a site to site transfer isn't very reliable. On *nix servers it often fails.
- Fixed: When connecting to a site profile stored in the site manager via the command line or via Win7 jump-list the site would sometimes appear in your quick connect list, deleting the site from the quick connect would also delete it from your site manager. This should now be resolved. Site profile sites should not be added to the quick connect site list.
- Fixed: When dropping a file into the file list sometimes the drop-highlight state wasn't reset after the drop, leaving the item to appear selected.
- Fixed: We recently changed the download behavior to compare the local file size against the remote file size to ensure the file was downloaded completely, however this caused problems with downloading files that are updated during the transfer, such as log files, so this behavior has been removed.
Changes for v4.2.4 build 1785 - v4.2.5 build 1810
- Improved features
- Improved the aborting procedure of FTP file transfers to take into consideration delayed replies from the FTP server.
- Improved SFTP compatibility with Sun_SSH, Previous versions were unable to upload.
- Improved SFTP compatibility with mod_sftp, Previous versions could corrupt the file during upload.
- Improved SFTP upload transfer speed (50-70% faster) with many SFTP servers.
- Improved support for FlashFXP running on legacy versions of Windows and Windows with themes disabled.
- Improved file date/time handling on FTP servers that use the older LIST style directory output. If the file time is not available then date/time comparison is limited to the date.
- Improved preserve date/time on upload to ensure the date/time is set, if the control connection is lost at the end of the file transfer then the set file date/time operation is en-queued until the connection can be restored.
- New Features
- Added an option to randomly select a toolbar background on start-up.
- Added an option to turn off TCP/IP keep-alives and adjust the keep-alive interval.
- Bug fixes
- Fixed a rare critical section dead lock the threaded event timer. I suspect that this issue caused the remote edit feature in FlashFXP to malfunction, as well as other event related features.
- Fixed multiple issues that could cause FlashFXP to crash on start up when run as a scheduled task.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent the user from saving a queue file to disk.
- Fixed an issue where the local or remote browser were ending up in different locations after transferring a file. Sometimes one would revert back to the original location prior to the transfer, or use the default path stored in the site profile.
- Fixed several user-interface glitches where the content wasn't properly updated or redrawn.

- Fixed issue with en-queued sever delete operations. The deleted file wasn't correctly removed from the internal directory cache, triggering a file exists prompt/comparison rule when the delete operation was followed by a file upload with the same name as the deleted file.
- Fixed issue with the remote directory disk cache manager that could sometimes prevent FlashFXP from shutting down correctly.
- Fixed off screen window placement issue, in some cases such as switching between single and dual monitors the main child windows could sometimes end up positioned off screen.
- Fixed an issue that prevented FlashFXP from successfully logging into some servers.
Changes for v4.2.2 build 1760 - v4.2.3.1771
- Security updates
- Updated to OpenSSL 1.0.1c.
- OpenSSL Security Advisory http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20120510.txt
- 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.

Changes for v4.2.0 build 1730 - v4.2.1.1745
- New and Improved featuresImproved [ftp] folder path name handling when performing operations on the server, specifically when the folder name changes as a result of the FTP server. A folder named "test" may be entered by the user but the server might name the folder as "TEST".
- Improved UNIX:L8 directory list parser to better handle directory listings where the group or owner field contains a space.
- Improved internal image-list stream loading/saving. A compatibility issue in the old method could cause FlashFXP to crash immediately on start-up on some operating systems.
- Improved and updated the theme manager component. The update addresses an issue found in the original theme manager that failed to insure the window handle for the sub-classed component was valid, If the handle was invalid it could cause FlashFXP crash.
- Improved threaded timer callback routines, Some rare situations could trigger a race condition which could cause FlashFXP to crash.
- Improved performance of the server file search and calculate disk space features by replacing the lookup list container with a faster hash lookup list container.
- Upgraded OpenSSL to v1.0.1.
- Improved compatibility with PS3 FTP Server/multiMAN, The MLST command unexpectedly returns multiple non-matching entries causing a conflict when evaluating the file transfer rules.
- Improved [server compatibility] We now attempt to detect "mTCP FTP server" and "PS3 FTP Server" during login, when detected FlashFXP will issue the standard LIST command without any parameters.
- Improved [server compatibility] We now attempt to login with ANSI and/or UTF8 encoded username and password on login failure, some FTP servers require UTF8 while others require ANSI with no way to determine.
- Bug FixesFixed [remote/tree navigation] an issue where the cached overlay icon displayed on the tree navigation wasn't removed after uploading files into the folder.
- Fixed [connection/retry] There was a very small chance of a race condition when aborting the connection attempt that could result in FlashFXP locking up.
- Fixed: [local browser/sorting] In some situations the sort comparison was comparing the wrong data.
- Fixed: [sftp] The connection lost status message was reporting the wrong idle time.
- Fixed: [download/upload] On write failure the file stream object was freed twice which could lead to memory corruption.
- Fixed: [application/event timer] When closing FlashFXP the event thread could crash as a result of the owner being freed before the thread loop exited.
- Fixed: [local browser/drop-down box] Unable to insert a line. error, the drop-down list failed to clear the entries on close up eventually running out of space.
- Fixed: [remote edit / auto upload] In some cases FlashFXP didn't detect when the local file was saved.
- Fixed: [remote edit / legacy prompt] When using legacy prompt mode and opening the file in the internal text editor the upload prompt would appear on top of the internal editor preventing the file from being edited.
- Fixed: [remote browser / rename] Under some conditions performing a rename didn't set the browser state to busy, allowing the user to perform unsafe operations while in the middle of performing the rename operation.
- Fixed: [remote browser / delete] Under some conditions delete was incorrectly disabled and prevented the user from performing the operation.
- Fixed: [application] A performance bottleneck in the main application message loop resulted in a wide range of issues, non-ssl ftp downloads were being throttled, audio stuttering (text-to-speech) when using NVDA screen-reader, were a couple of the main issues noticed.

- Fixed: [sftp/download] When disk write error occurred during download the file transfer wasn't stopped immediately.
- Fixed: [server/download] A bug in the cache lookup system resulted in some upload file transfers being overwritten without prompting the user.
- Fixed: [installer] The installer didn't always update existing language files and sometimes it installed languages that weren't installed.
Changes for v4.2.0 build 1730 - v4.2.1 build 1744

Changes for v4.1.8 build 1701 - v4.2.0 build 1730
- New and Improved features
- Added: [preferences/view and edit file] New option to include "View and Edit" in edit history, previously local edits were included and this was not desirable for everyone. The default value is unchecked.
- Added: [live update] integrity check of the downloaded setup and on failure the ability to use an alternative download location.
- Added: [session/speed limits] You can now set/adjust the session speed limits via the session menu, or by right-clicking the speed limit icon in the status-bar.
- Added: Holding down the shift key while selecting Copy to clipboard > HTTP URL will open the url in your default web browser.
- Added: [sftp] A fallback solution for sftp servers where the sftp-subsystem is not enabled, but the sftp-server binary is installed.
- Added: [queue/list] The ability to hide/show the columns (Target, Size, and Remark) in the queue window, right-click on the column header for the menu.
- Improved: [Server File Search] These improvements were made to the error handling, command execution, and sub-search filtering.
- Improved Implicit SSL connection handshaking and auto switching from Implicit SSL to Explicit SSL if a standard plain text FTP server reply is received.
- Improved CPU usage when connecting to two servers at the same time.
- Improved the speed in which FlashFXP exits, depending on what FlashFXP was doing there were situations where FlashFXP might take a minute or more to actually exit.
- Improved: [Site Manager] Loading and saving site profiles is now faster.
- Improved: [file transfer rules/validation] In certain cases a file transfer rule could be considered invalid with a prior rule taking priority, however there was no indication if this.
- Changed: [file transfers] When the "remove failed transfers from queue" setting was enabled it bypassed the "retry failed transfers" feature, To resolve this issue a failed item is kept in the queue until the retry limit has been reached and then it is removed.
- Changed: The connection status icons (encryption, speed limiting, compression) are now always displayed on the status-bar.
- Changed: [folder bookmarks/synchronized browsing] Previous versions of FlashFXP had a setting named "Use synchronized browsing" on the bookmark dialog, this has been replaced with a drop-down box allowing 3 different states.
- Default - uses the current synchronized browsing mode.
- Enabled - turns on synchronized browsing, if it isn't already on.
- Disabled - turns off synchronized browsing, if it is already on.
- Changed: [local browser/drag&drop] All drag/drop operations between local browser windows now correctly support the ctrl and shift keyboard modifiers.
- Changed: [local browser/local to local/drag&drop] The behavior of the "local to local" drag/drop option has changed, Now this option will only change the default behavior for drag/drop between the local browsers, it will not effect drag/drop between the tree navigation and the file list within the local browser pane.
- Changed: [tool-bars] Eliminated unnecessary repainting when toggling tool-bar buttons.
- Changed: [network/sockets] The way we use TCP keep-alives has changed. Now TCP keep-alives are only enabled on the control channel when a data channel is active.
- Changed: [tool bar/background] Changes to the way the tool-bar background is rendered, eliminating some unnecessary erasing/drawing.
- Changed: [sftp] When using public key authentication FlashFXP will skip any keyboard-interactive password prompts and use the public key.
- Changed: [on transfer complete/shutdown computer] The original design didn't allow FlashFXP to shut down the computer if the user session was locked. This has been changed, FlashFXP will now try the normal way first and if windows reports that the session is locked it will attempt to force the shutdown.
- Changed: [remote edit] FlashFXP uses the last write file date/time stamp to determine if the file is modified, this value is only accurate to the nearest 2 seconds, as a result a quick edit and save could occur without detection. To address the problem we now set the file date/time stamp to an earlier time.
- Changed: [remote edit/upload prompt] The site name is now displayed in the caption of the remote edit upload prompt.
- Changed: [remote/navigation tree] The sort order now matches the file list which uses a natural word based sort.
- Improved: [download/transfers] I eliminated a couple unnecessary file operations.
- Updated OpenSSL to 1.0.0g
- Minor improvements to the setup installer script, The installer now uses a new method to detect if FlashFXP is running.
- Improved: [tool-bar/backgrounds] Using a custom background with certain display layouts. In some cases the end result wasn't what you might expect.
- Improved: [sftp/server specific] Addressed a compatibility issue with JSCAPE SFTP server. This issue resulted in random disconnects.
- Updated SFTP engine to latest version.
- Improved: [socket/connections] The way socket connections are established.
- Bug Fixes
- Fixed: [Buffer Overflow Vulnerability] Discovered by vulnerability-lab.com, A flaw in the VCL components (TListbox and TComboBox) resulted in a buffer overflow. I have resolved the issue in the components and added additional input validation.
- Fixed: [file transfers] If the retry failed transfer count was set to retry 0 times and the connection is lost, FlashFXP made no attempt to reconnect and transfer any files remaining in the queue.
- Fixed: [file list/columns] The remote file browser was not properly sizing the columns when only the name column is visible and the auto size column setting was off.
- Fixed: [tool-bar/states] The queue/transfer selected buttons are no longer enabled when just the parent directory entry is selected. Since this is not a valid selection.
- Fixed: [Server file search] Searching by date incorrectly used the server date/time and was not adjusting for any server time zone offset.
- Fixed: [Portable Installer] In some cases the portable installer was failing when run via from the update check.
- Fixed: [local browser/drag&drop] The state of the drag cursor did not reflect the actual operation that was performed on drop between local browser panes.
- Fixed: [logging] When disk logging was disabled there was still an attempt to log the session summary on transfer queue completion.
- Fixed: [file transfers] The "retry failed transfers" setting was counting the first failure as 1 and as a result a retry count of 1 would not retry the transfer.
- Fixed: [file transfers] The "remove failed transfers from queue" setting wasn't working as intended and when this option was enabled a directory failure could result in an end-less loop.
- Fixed: [local browser] Drive/device error when attempting to read the icon from a shortcut that points to an invalid location.
- Fixed: [local browser/tree navigation] shift and ctrl key modifiers for drag and drop operations.
- Fixed: [server/connect] In some cases the connection failure error message was incorrectly reporting "connection refused" as "connection timeout".
- Fixed: [server/connect] The IP address list from a DNS lookup was not cleared between connection attempts. This was an issue when connected to Site A via a host-name, disconnecting, then connecting to Site B via an IP. If the connection attempt to Site B failed a the retry was attempted using the IP from Site A.
- Fixed: [tray icon] Rapidly hiding and showing the main window could result in a race condition where the main window became hidden and the tray icon is removed.
- Fixed: Closing FlashFXP while minimized to the system tray could cause FlashFXP to crash while exiting.
- Fixed: [scheduled tasks/logging/email] If the task was configured to send an email and include the log for say failed transfers but logging of failed transfers was disabled, a empty log of the failed transfers was included in the email. Now if logging is disabled there is no reference to the log file in the email.
- Fixed: [local browser/menu] The local browser/file list control menu on the right pane decided to stop working for us. Its now back in action.
- Fixed: [remote edit/upload] If the user disconnects from site A while a prompt for upload is active, then connects to site B and clicks Yes on the upload prompt this could result in a crash or an unpredictable result.
- Fixed: [remote browser/file list] When renaming an item the item selection state was lost, the item with the new name is now re-selected.
- Fixed: [update/installer] When updating FlashFXP portable edition the update installer might install the update into the wrong folder if the pathname contained a space due to a missing double-quote.
- Fixed: [site manager/statistics] A defect was discovered resulting in incorrect stats.
- Fixed: [active edits dialog] hovering the mouse over an entry in the list could result in a range-check error while displaying the entry tool-tip if the time of the download was more than a couple weeks.
- Fixed: [remote/move folder dialog] More fixes, en-queue > move was broken and when entering a non-cached folder the path shown in the box did not match the folder selection.
- Fixed: [ftp/download] One of the fixes in our previous release re-introduced an issue that caused FlashFXP to hang on zero byte files.
- Fixed: [active edits dialog] Delete was disabled after de-selecting an entry from the list.
- Fixed: [console/ANSI parser] The ANSI color parser used in the status window contained a flaw that attempted to read past the end of the string resulting in unpredictable crashes.
Changes for v4.1.7 build 1688 - v4.1.8 build 1701
- This hot fix makes FlashFXP compatible with Windows XP service pack 1 and service pack 2, The previous release required Windows XP service pack 3 to run.

- 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 via 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 "

Changes for v4.1.5 build 1668 - v4.1.6 build 1673
- Improved status-bar panel width sizing for text translations, specifically during a file transfer the panel width would re-size to fit the length of text plus time which could fluctuate between hh:mm:ss and mm:ss changing the width of the panel, now the panel is sized to fit the translation + hh:mm:ss.
- Deleting a symbolic link to a folder via the tree navigation now treats the symbolic link as a file delete operation instead of a folder delete.
- Cleaned up the site name displayed in the Active Edits window.
- Improved remote edit feature to auto reconnect and re-upload the file in the event of a connection loss during the file upload.
- Fixed symbolic links on FTP servers using MLSD, in some cases the symbolic links were not displayed.

- Fixed excessively long wait when aborting a file transfer when using FTP+SSL, sometimes the abort could take up to 2 minutes to complete.
- Fixed memory leak triggered by aborting a FTP upload using MODE Z. The Zlib compression object wasn't properly finalized to free the internal memory buffer.
- Fixed FTP+SSL download issue that sometimes resulted in a transfer error even though the transfer was successful, this was caused by the way the SSL connection was shutdown.
- Fixed access violation crash when running FlashFXP on windows 2000 or with themes disabled when in the Preferences dialog > Toolbars section. We missed a test to verify themes before attempting to use them to draw the default background.
- Fixed access violation crash that can occur when switching between the local and remote browser.
- Fixed a defect that prevented ASCII files from downloading 100% on some FTP servers, the transfer would appear frozen or stalled and would eventually time out.

- The remote navigation tree wasn't populated correctly when connecting to sites with a pre-defined remote path
Changes for v4.1.4.1664 - 4.1.5 build 1667
- Fixed an issue that resulted a false positive error "Change Folder Failure: (5: Access is denied)" during upload. The IO result wasn't cleared before testing for failure.
- Fixed an issue where switching between MLSD and LIST (or stat -al) didn't correctly clear the remote folder cache.
- Added a work-around specifically for XeXMenu FTPD 0.1 to address an issue when navigating into empty folders.
- Fixed an issue where the oldest site in the quick connect history was removed when the history limit was reached, instead of removing the site with the oldest last connection time.
- Fixed an issue where FlashFXP was throttling the rate at which commands were sent to the server, this was most noticeable during recursive deletes and when transferring many small files.
- Fixed changing the per-site preserve file date/time settings in the file transfer rules dialog didn't take immediate effect.
- Fixed proxy/connection failure when connecting to an sftp server, resulting in an error message 'SSH Error: The packet is too large.'
- Fixed a connection failure that occurred under the following conditions, connect to a ftp+ssl server and then disconnect before the ssl handshake completes, now connecting to a non-ssl ftp server, after about 30 seconds the connection attempt would fail.
- Fixed an access violation that occurred when performing an en-queued operation (rename, exec custom command, move, delete).
- Fixed reported progress percentage during an en-queued delete operation, the progress would jump between the correct value and 100%, and the progress bar wasn't shown on the status-bar.
- Fixed an issue where several toolbar buttons would enabled/disabled while transferring a queue under multiple different conditions.
- Added additional support to handle servers that report the remote path as "//path/to/my/home", the tree navigation wasn't allowing "//" as a valid root.
Changes for v4.1.3.1658 - v4.1.4.1664
- Fixed upload performance issue, after lots of testing and research I have determined that the problem is related to windows "Receive Window Auto-Tuning Level" setting. If you experience a slow down in this release vs previous releases please let me know via the forums.
- Fixed custom command token %f when executing a command via the FTP search dialog. It was returning the path + filename instead of just the filename. (bug #582)
- Fixed custom command token %c to correctly handle multiple commands separated by CR/LF.
- Fixed the Active Edits dialog would automatically appear after restoring the main window, this issue only appeared on versions of windows prior to Vista.
- Fixed auto reconnect on remote server move folder/file, the connection was restored but the operation was not executed if the main window did not have focus. (Bug #586)
- Fixed the "swap panes" feature wasn't swapping the text shown on the status-bar. (Bug #587)
- Fixed defect when performing a custom command after a loss of connection (i.e idle timeout), The connection is restored but the command wasn't always sent. (Bug #585)
- Improved SFTP upload speed on OpenSSH servers.
- Improved command line switch parser. (bug #594)
- Fixed after performing a en-queued remote file delete operation the directory listing wasn't refreshed.
Changes for v4.1.2 build 1655 - v4.1.3.1658

Changes for v4.1.1 build 1651 - v4.1.2.1654
- 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.

Changes for v4.1.0.1648 - v4.1.1 build 1651
- Fixed an issue where certain raw command groups contained invalid keyboard shortcuts that would be bound to standard A-Z 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 defect, 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 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.

- Fixed wheel scrolling the tree-view control on the Folder tree dialog prompt and on the Site Folder tree dialog prompt.
- Refined the task scheduler repeat task input validation, as it allowed invalid values to be set resulting in an error saving the task.
