FTP Voyager® Release Notes

FTP Voyager® Version 8.0.0.3

FTP Voyager 8.0.0.3 was released September 17, 2001. A complete list of changes and upgrades follows:

• Corrected a bug where the right mouse click "New Folder" was not working in the site profile manager.
• Corrected a bug where when Quick Connect was used, Edit | Profiles would bring up the Quick Connect dialog, but if cancel was selected and Edit Profiles was selected again, the Site Profile Manager would appear. This has been corrected by bringing up the Quick Connect dialog instead.
• Corrected a bug where the time estimate and transfer rate would be incorrect in the transfer status pane if a file was resumed. This error did not appear in the transfer dialogs, only in the transfer list.
• Corrected a directory listing bug for some servers. In some situations it was possible for FTP Voyager to drop information from a directory listing, and therefore interpret the listing incorrectly. It was found on a "ProFTPD 1.2.0" server. The problem was very dependent on buffer settings of the network and appears to have been a rare problem.
• Added integration for ID Assure authorization usage. Visit http://www.eDocuSign.com/ for more information.

FTP Voyager® Version 8.0.0.2

FTP Voyager 8.0.0.2 was released June 26, 2001. A complete list of changes and upgrades follows:

• Corrected a bug where SyncFolders on UNC directory (root) would not work correctly.
• Corrected an icon bug where if the icon definiation in the registry had quotes around it, the "generic" Windows icon would be used.
• Added UNIX style directory changing for newer MVS servers.
