All downloads fail for me under Windows 8

[David Spector]

All attempts to download files are reported as failing. Uploads work perfectly. Have tried several different remote connections to the same server. These connections worked perfectly under Windows XP.

The log says:
"a1_.php - 0 bytes transferred in 0 seconds
Transfer time: 00:00:00"

Cannot find help in CoreFTP Help or from Web search.

Running Windows 8. Have tried moving the CoreFTP folder files to C:\Program Files\CoreFTP and to C:\Program Files (x86)\CoreFTP. Have made sure remote and local firewalls permit CoreFTP and my local IP address (WAN). Have tried PASV enabled and disabled. Have tried changing the CoreFTP CPS Settings.

There is definitely a problem with Windows 8.1 - see my post on file shortening. No ftp client will work on Windows 8.1.
You don't have 8.1?

No, I resist all the requests I get from Windows to upgrade. I will stay with 8 until I hear that 8.1 has its bugs fixed. Microsoft is always too busy making money to do quality engineering or to fix bugs.

Does anyone here know whether this is also a known FTP problem in Windows 8?

My workaround is to use hosting tools in place of CoreFTP when I want to download files from my website. This works, but takes more of my time to do the same tasks.
