Ignore Error

Introduction
In some situations where the server returns wrong information it is necessary to disable the transfer verification checks in SmartFTP. The most common case is when SmartFTP requests the size of the transferred file, the server returns the wrong size of the actual file on the server. Thus SmartFTP correctly assumes that the transfer failed. To circumvent this problem the transfer integrity checks or the resulting errors from it must be ignored.

Enable "Ignore Error" option

• Go to menu: Favorites->Edit Favorites
• Locate your favorite. Look in the Quick Connect folder.
• Right-click on the favorite and select Properties from the context menu
• Go to the Transfer - Files dialog
• Change the Ignore Error option from Use Default Settings to Enable
• Click OK to save the changes

Example from buggy FTP server

SmartFTP sends 8950 bytes:
STOR file.htm
125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
8950 bytes transferred. (56,0 KB/s) (156 ms)
226 Transfer complete.

Server reports that the file is only 7069 bytes.
SIZE file.htm
213 7069
