Description of problem: When I try to transfer large amounts of files via standard ftp, sometimes Filezilla skips files randomly which makes it unusable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): filezilla-3.0.2.1-1.fc7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to a ftp account 2. Transfer a large amount of files and (sub)dirs, for example a Joomla installation. 3. Notice there are files missing. Actual results: Files are missing Expected results: Everything should be transfered as expected from a mature ftp client Additional info: I tried to mention this to FileZilla support directly, but they refuse to support this issue since 3.0.2 is "heavily outdated". 3.0.6 refuses to build because of a dependency on newer wxGTK. Please help/advise.
Indeed, a newer FileZilla package cannot even be built into Rawhide for that reason (wxGTK need to be at least 2.8.6 but the newest wxGTK is 2.8.7). Of course i will build a newer FileZilla when possible, but maybe we won't have this possibility for F7 or F8, altought it would be desirable...
Note that the problem even happen with 3.0.6 Sometime the ftp server do not work well with mutliple connections you may need to limit the maximum connection used (to only 1).
Hmm, I already had this impression. Will try your suggestion. Still I believe this is a bug, there should be failed transfers then. However this should be fixed upstream.
