Hi,
I am using COREFTP LE V 2.2 and commandline switches via bat file on XP Pro Service Pack 3.
Issue:
Everytime I run CoreFTPLE it generates its own tiny files with no file extension in folder
C:\Documents and Settings\<MyUSerId>\Application Data\CoreFTP\Data
Example file names:
106831
106833
in the CoreFTP folder above it also generates .dir files but not always
Example
12.dir
8.dir
I found recently I had 57,500 of these files av size 1 to 2 K total 235 Meg! and it crashed my network logon profile.
I cant find any info on what these are or how to stop them, being generated. Can anyone help? The files are binary.
At the moment I have to run a separate tidyup script every day to delete the previous days files as I dont want to toch the current day files in case it messes something up!
Thanks
Mike

The dir files are directory listing files. You should only see one for each profile and they shouldn't take up much space.
The temp files can be removed on exit by selecting View -> Options -> Policy -> Dont save sessions on exit
There does seem to be a bug if this option is not selected though, sessions are not being cleaned up when all transfers have completed. The fix will be in build 1676 and greater.

2.2 1679 build for LE has NOT fixed temp file problem
Hi,
Just downloaded your latest release 22 build 1679 which states it fixes the problem I raised in my post re the temp files hanging around.
Sorry but It doesnt seem to have fixed the problem!
If you launch CoreFTP via the commandline in a batch file on windows WITH -s THE SILENT OPTION ON, the temporary files are NOT cleared up after the CoreFTP session exits.
previoulsy if you launched coreftp without the -s switch vai commandline so dialogues was displayed it did appear to tidy up after itself.
I also can no longer find the option in the options menu that you could previosuly select to tell CorefTp to delete these files. Has it been removed?
Regards
