FTPbox is working great for me, except that after a few to several hours of running it crashes with this exception:

************** Exception Text **************
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The operation completed successfully
at System.Drawing.Icon.Initialize(Int32 width, Int32 height)
at System.Drawing.Icon..ctor(SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context)

Write about this great software on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software

remember domain name，no need to input it when start running every time.

FTPbox run on english when autostart, although different language (russian) selected in settings.

Should be able to delete file from remote server after sync and also save a backup copy

New email notification. Thank you.

Hi,
The Program is necessary and helpful. Thank you!
Unfortunately we have to connect to numerous different ftp-servers, and some of them have troubles with non-English characters. FileZilla has a special option "Charset - Use custom charset" and if we use the option with value "windows-1251" these ftp-servers can be readable. Otherwise we get an error with transferring files with non-English filenames (with options "Charset - Autodetect" or "Charset - Force UTF-8").
The FTPBox program has no charset option and has a problem with transferring files with non-English names from those ftp-servers. The case is applicable for individual site/account.

Maybe we could have a window in which we could compare local files with remote files and see which files and folders are synchronized with a green checkbox icon

I have a folder with 125 files in it. When I start my app, all 125 files are uploaded to the ftp server.
When I add another subfolder or another file, all the files are uploaded again. It takes about half an hour to upload all files. And every change I make just ends up in the back of the queue.
How can I fix this?

Instead of the same icon, have some indication that a file sync is in progress. Similar to that of Google Drive.

It works for few times after launch and then requires a restart. That's really annoying because I wrote hundreds lines of VBA and Java based on idea that local files can be synchronised with an ftp server. See my website
http://www.boxvan.co.nf/about.html

Upload files will be in a more eficient way, for example track files that had been changed and news, also deleted to sync from local to ftp

Liking the software so far, just one issue I am having is, it is automatically syncing whenever there is a change in the local folder even though i have it set to manual sync frequency.

Perhaps a progress bar for syncing would be nice aswell

The CheckUpdateItem function crashes with error: "Collection has changed..."

I've changed the code as a workaround to this:

List<ClientItem> lst = new List<ClientItem>();
foreach (var f in controller.Client.ListRecursive(item.CommonPath))
{
lst.Add(f);
}

// error on this line - foreach (var f in controller.Client.ListRecursive(item.CommonPath))
foreach (var f in lst)
{

Right click on file -> FTPBox comes up with "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the folder options control panel"
