Most of those changelog issues didn't affect me directly the only lingering problem for me is this column resizing/ghost issue and the lack of verbose server messages/logs when handshaking/connecting. Certainly, navigation on both the local and remote servers seems to be much crisper, something I consider vital in an FTP client. it doesn't mess about changing window sizes before disappearing on close and the reverse on startup) and transfers seem brisker, though this could be imagination as I have no speed tests or history/statistics to prove or disprove it.

The software opens and closes far more 'cleanly' if you understand what I mean (i.e. Scott, the changelog is indeed comprehensive and I have noticed the better performance all round, hence the comments about it nearly 'being there'. Jo-Ann, weirdly, my columns do not retain any size settings between sessions, regardless of how I alter them, though because it works for you, it could work for others, so that is valuable information. Hi everyone and thanks for the excellent suggestions.\ Thanks for the new version anyway, at least it is going in the right direction. I can only assume the coders either don't use it, or if they do, they don't see the problems like I do (and some others have mentioned it as well). These issues should be child's play for your coding team and since your site claims that DirectFTP is used by everyone, how come they don't see these issues? I notice them straight away, and that collapsing columns thing has been there for many years. I don't know why, since CuteFTP is far more fully featured, never crashes or gives problems, but there is something about DirectFTP that makes it excellent and this is why I stick with it and am disappointed every time a new version comes out (and usually months or years between versions) and no actual bugs or annoyances are fixed, just cosmetic enhancements. Not a show stopper but very annoying since a new ghost line is created every time one of the columns is adjusted and they soon make reading the files and folders impossible.Īs I said, this is finally reaching what it should have been all along with these two (or three) issues resolved I would be able to ditch CuteFTP for good.
Also with this new build, whenever I set the widths of the columns, ghost lines (see images below) appear and will not go away with page refresh or anything else but closing and reopening the software. The columns do not self size like other windows apps and this is mighty annoying, especially since even if I set them they don't 'remember' the settings and soon collapse into the usual unreadable narrow columns.
The second issue is one that I have moaned about before but is obviously way down on the list after nicer icons and other more important things. I am obviously using an administrators profile/account in the first instance but if I do not right-click and run specifically as administrator, the uninstaller creation fails every time.

However, two minor issues still prevent it from being my go-to FTP application.įirstly, the new build will not create an uninstaller during that phase of the installation process on my Windows 7 machines (x2) unless I specifically run the setup file as administrator. Thanks for the new build of DirectFTP finally this application is reaching the heights it should have long ago.
