Windows client crashing on Windows7 (64bit)
Hi,
thanks so far for the great work. I'm in the moment trying different sync clients (FTPBox, Sparkleshare, OwnCloud, Syncany) and we will see which one will finally win.
Yours is at least
a) the easiest to install
b) has the smallest requirements for special servers
c) handles the webspace used best
however I'm still missing the complete sync (including deletes) and there is still a problem with the stability, as your client frequently crashes on me on Win7. However, running it as in "WinXP"-Compatibily mode and as a admin seems to stabilize the program...
Keep on the good work!
Best,
Jan

FTP Box repeatedly crashed on Windows 10. I need to find something more reliable, although the ease of use here is appealing. Has this problem been fixed in an update perhaps? I use FTPBox to relay the metadata from our music program to our encoder and I need to be able to count on that happening.

The FTP box shows "sync complete" even though the sync is still running in the background. The window in the taskbar is not up-to-date, and the cyclic synchronization does not start automatically.

@goldengel.ch: Is it possible that you share the source code of 2.6.4.4.? Github fork, maybe?
I want to make some improvements, but don't want to use the official 2.6.3. as a basis. -

Thanks... Version 2.6.4.4 works great now!

TB-electronics commented
This new version 2.6.4.4 is the first which really is running since I ever have tested FtpBox! Thx

I wonder why admin never repeated to my request to support you. I fixed all and included new features. http://goldengel.ch/shop/ProductView/index.aspx?sku=21 I am working every day now with proper Version 2.6.4.3. This here is really old.

For those who wish a monitor...
First, create a task for ftpbox in windows task scheduler. Remember the name you gave the task. I named mine "Start ftpbox"
@Echo off
cls
echo Starting FTBOX Monitor
echo ======================
@set counter=0
:query
@schtasks /query /fo list /tn "Start ftpbox" | @find /c "Running" >nul 2>&1 &&(
@set/a counter += 1 >nul 2>&1
)||(
echo RAN FOR %COUNTER% ITERATIONS!
echo ERROR!
echo FTPBOX IS NOT RUNNING ERROR!
echo RESTARTING!
C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /TN "Start ftpbox"
echo Re-starting FTBOX Monitor
echo ======================
@set counter = 0
)
@ping -n 2 0 >nul 2>&1
goto :query -

Thank you, the others are excellent, Chinese simplified process does not support the garbled file name

andy-scull@yandex.ru commented
Yup, as everyone says.
Crashes when some other program tried to write/delete synced files
Crashes when trying to sync symlink'ed folder
Crashed when I started a manual sync while scheduled sync was in process (probably that, I couldn't reproduce this crash)
I think you should implement log and dump for unhandled exceptions, at least you'll have a chance to properly diagnose the crashes -
Bad Crash commented
would be a nice software, but it crashes really often

Error commented
Error still exists in version 2.6.

Same Problem in latest version. Pretty useless at this time.

It crashes frequently and there is some issue in the integration of .Net framework with the application. Any solution to it?
