Transfer list not sticking - xml file always blank

Hi,
When I originally installed smartftp I didn't have this problem, a couple of other problems which have been fixed with the newer versions.

I have smartftp scheduled in MS scheduler, starts okay
The id runs okay, connects to the server and if I drop files into the queue the transfer function starts straight away. I have set the stop at completion of transfer, but because there isn't anything to transfer smartftp keeps running.

How do I get a file list to stick so that it is repeats everytime smartftp runs?

You should set the schedule of the items in the transfer queue.

Hi Mat,
thank you.

1/. schedule smartftp in MS schedule to start every Saturday at approx 4am
2/. schedule smartftp to run 4 transfers at different times using smartftp scheduler.
3/. set smartftp to close down on completion of transfers.

So in practice this should run every week on Saturday; transfer and update the files, then smartftp should shutdown until the next Saturday?

Yep that's the way to do it.

Mat,
the process I outlined doesn't appear to work. I will set up my licence on a test machine to download every day and see what happens.

SmartFTP started, but didn't copy any files even though there were schedules within SmartFTP.

Enable the log in the settings (Menu:Tools->Settings then General->Advanced). Then inspect the log files created by the queue. Use the latest version of SmartFTP.
