Scheduler fails to upload files - Transfer Failed - Possible Bug

Hello,

Issue with SmartFTP Scheduler using versions 4.0.1207.0 beta and non-beta 32bit versions (tried both).
>>> I am able to upload / download files directly from multiple servers using the same Favorite file / settings. <<<

I have deleted all favorites / recreated and insured all settings are default as well as having tried both PORT and PASV connections. I have also tried running this scheduled job with it uploading to HostGator, GoDaddy, and our own business servers (necessary port ranges for Active and Passive are open). All produce the same error.

While the favorite settings work perfectly for uploading files using the transfer queue - when using this favorite as part of a "Schedule" - the following occurs:

New file is added to C:\test. SmartFTP sees this new file and pushes to Transfer queue.
File shows up in transfer queue and then immediate goes to "retry at" with the following log entry:

I'm unable to reproduce the problem. Did you a schedule a folder? To verify this, go to the Schedule item properties. Then go to the actions, then to the queue properties, then to the queue item properties and ensure that the type is set to folder.

Yes indeed - I have it set to "Monitor folder = test". The program recognizes the changes to the folder so its not an issue with the actual Trigger - the problem occurs when it attempts to process the "queue" which is set to Run.

Thanks for attempting to replicate. I have replicated on 3 separate networks/systems/routers/ISPs (using remote desktop) and all do the same thing (have tried multiple FTP servers from each location). Either I have something setup wrong and do not understand how it works (I don't believe this to be the case *grin*) or there is a problem with settings/bug.

When trying to copy the new files to another LOCAL directory using SmartFTP, I get this error (trigger is set to monitor Folder):
[13:24:05] Operation Begin
[13:24:05] Source File: Size=4096, Date Modified=2011-07-28T18:21:14
[13:24:05] Destination File: Size=0, Date Modified=2011-07-28T15:53:50
[13:24:05] RecentTime=2011-07-28T18:24:05
[13:24:05] Rule "IF Destination Time=Older AND Size=Smaller AND Transfer=No Matter THEN Overwrite" matched. Action="Overwrite".
[13:24:05] Failed to set file time of "C:\test1". Error=0x80070005.
[13:24:05] Transfer failed.
[13:24:05] Operation End

I was referring to the transfer queue item properties in the actions tab and not to the monitor settings in the triggers. Please verify that you are using a folder and not a file.

Transfer queue item properties (What shows when you right click the item in the transfer queue and click properties):
Type = File (doesn't allow me to change both from the transfer queue or the Event Item Properties)
Operation = Copy
Souce = Local C:\test
Desintation = Some favorite that usually works and the correct path.

I can make some screenshots if you like or provide you FTP creds? Ive been waiting for this feature for a long long time, see my old posts

You need to drag&drop a folder and not a file. Then the type changes to folder and it will work as exepected.

Awesome! Thank you so much - this works! I was creating the entire monitoring / scheduling job manually (lol, it lets you...) and that was the problem. Thank you for your patience and responses and helping me get this working. This is an awesome feature for surveillance servers that have lots of new video files being added every minute as well as just personal website updates, etc. Im sure you are well aware of all it uses Thanks alot!
