FTP Voyager® Version 14.1.0.4

FTP Voyager 14.1.0.4 was released January 2, 2008. A complete list of changes and upgrades follows:

FEATURES:

• Updated OpenSSL libraries from 0.9.8e to 0.9.8g.
• Removed the 10-year anniversary splash image.

BUG FIXES:

• Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager Scheduler where using the "Browse File" button in an action when the specified directory is a drive root, the browse file dialog would not come up.
• Corrected a bug in FTP Voyager Scheduler where running an external batch file or program could cause FTP Voyager Scheduler to lock up.
• Corrected an FTP Voyager Scheduler service bug where disabling the service, then attempting to start FTP Voyager Scheduler with the Start Menu or from within FTP Voyager, it would not start.
• Corrected a bug when using file name conversion where non-ASCII characters, converted to a different case, would not be recognized as the same file when working on a server whose file system is not case sensitive. When uploading a duplicate file could appear in the list.
• Corrected a bug when converting a file name and updating an existing file on the server where the server's file system is not case sensitive, the list would not update the file name to reflect the changed file name until the listing was refreshed. Not all servers support this form of renaming files.
• Corrected a bug when using connection saver, FTP Voyager would allow certain actions to be performed when they shouldn't have been allowed.
• Corrected a bug when creating directories, deleting directories, or deleting files and using Folder Short Cuts, FTP Voyager would not update both locations.
• Corrected a bug in MLST / MLSD listings where files containing a semi-colon would not be recognized.
• Corrected a bug when using MLST / MLSD the multiple file properties dialog would not allow file permissions to be changed.

FEATURES:

• When specifying a log file from the FTP Voyager command line, FTP Voyager now automatically enables logging to a file.

BUG FIXES:

• Corrected a rename problem in the local panes where reserved characters could be entered such as \/*?:<>".
• Corrected a Synchronize Folders display error where FTP Voyager would show some file and folder names with two forward slashes.
• Changed FTP Voyager Scheduler service installation so that it doesn't setup the service to "Allow service to interact with desktop", avoiding an unnecessary error event in the Windows Vista event viewer.
• Corrected an FTP Voyager Scheduler bug where setting up a monthly task and setting the start date to a date in the past, would cause FTP Voyager Scheduler to crash.
• Corrected a problem with FTP Voyager logging while using the command line options, and setting "autoquit" to true, FTP Voyager would not save the end of the log.
• Corrected a display bug when using Power Upload and/or Power Download, when resuming a transfer. The display would not correctly take into account the offset into the resumed file.

• Corrected an SSH error where uploads could "lock up" when attempting to upload to localhost (or a very, very fast connection).
• Corrected an error with FTP Voyager Scheduler, when using SSH and downloading a specific file, FTP Voyager Scheduler would incorrectly interpret the file time as local, instead of GMT (UTC).
• Corrected an error where thumbnail images might not appear when switching from a view mode other than Thumbnails to Thumbnails when a directory had already been listed (introduced into 14.1.0.0)

• Corrected a problem on wide character systems (Asian, Russian, etc.) where the thumbnail images might not appear, depending on the site profile name.
• Corrected a problem when FTP Voyager created directories, it could improperly parse the directory name when multi-byte characters were being used.
• Corrected a problem when downloading files with multi-byte character names, FTP Voyager would, in some cases, incorrectly parse the path name and create invalid directory names.
• Corrected a problem when attempting to download a non-existent file with FTP Voyager Scheduler and SSH, where an empty file (zero bytes) would be created.
• Corrected a problem when uploading a file in any view mode (thumbnails, list, details, icons) after having used the thumbnails view. Previously FTP Voyager would download the image to build a thumbnail even when not in the thumbnails view mode.

• Changed the operation of FTP Voyager Scheduler to stop using the system tray while not running as a system service, instead FTP Voyager Scheduler operates like a regular Windows application.
• Moved the installer option for installing as a system service to the same location as "Quick Launch".
• Changed the installer to remember, between installations, whether or not to install FTP Voyager Scheduler as a system service.
• FTP Voyager can now be started by FTP Voyager Scheduler while running as a service.
