    Hello, I've been having an issue lately where the files that I sent from the server to the clients are left over on the temporary directory.
    My clients use the following form:

    uftpd -T d:\Working -D d:\Final

    When the server ends the multicast task, it reports Got COMPLETE from client XXX

    But then when I look for the file on the client, it is not on the final directory it is on the Temp directory
    I've using this version for a year now and this issue happenend just a few weeks ago.
    I'm using uftp 4.7(32 bits) over Windows7 64 bits

    Thanks, help or hints around the problem, would be much apreciated
    Gil

    Gil,

    After the client sends a COMPLETE, it should move the files from the temp to the destination directory either after receiving a DONE_CONF from the server or after the completion timer expires. The client log should indicate one of these two conditions.

    If the client logs do show one of these two messages but files still aren't being moved, you may want to add extra logging in the client to get a better idea of what might be happening.

    Also, I'd recommend upgrading to the latest version. The version you're on could experience extra null bytes at the end of the file when the last block in the file arrives out of order.

    Hello Dennis,

    Got it,

    I'll try the two options you suggested, extra log and update the uftp version.

    Thanks a lot for your feedback and quick response
    Best regards
