SmartFTP chrashes in executable

Hello!

We use smartftp lib with vb6 and have some troubles using sftp mode in the final exe (ftp is working fine). Everthing is working fine in debug mode and we can connect to ftp as well as to sftp. But when we compile the vb program it crashes on connecting (see code line with crash) to sftp server :

Try to remove this function:
Private Sub objSFTPConnection_OnStatus

The problem is that the SFTPConnection sends the events from another thread. In the debug mode in VB this works fine. However in the release mode it doesn't. That's why we have introduced the FTPConnectionSTA class for the FTP connection. For SFTP we didn't expect anyone to use VB6 anymore. If the above suggestion won't work we will implement the STA class for the SFTPConnection as well.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried your solution and it seems that a declaration with "WithEvents" is not possiple for sftp. When i remove WithEvents everything works fine.
The disatvantage is that you do not get the status events...

If you only need the status events for debugging purpose you can set the LogFile property of the SFTPConnection object.
