Edited files get lost on server timeout

[polajoo]

When editing a file, if you save the file, switch back to filezilla, the client will then re-upload the file.

However, if it is unsuccessful, it puts it in the "failed" queue but appears to delete the file, because you cannot then re-upload the file.

To recreate:

1. Right-click and edit a file
2. Make some changes, save the file
3. Switch back to filezilla
4. Disconnect your net connection
5. Click Yes to upload the file
6. Wait for it to be put in "failed" queue
7. Re-connect your net connection
8. Try and re-queue the file, it will fail

Which version of FileZilla are you using? And which platform are you running it at?

[polajoo]

Latest (3.0.8.1) on Windows XP.

This has happened since v3 came out, but I've only just had the inclination to report it today after losing a substantial amount of coding. My own fault, but lost nonetheless. :)

A workaround is just to up the max retries on failure, but I thought you'd appreciate the report anyway.

[Alexander Schuch]

Current version is FileZilla 3.0.9.1, but according to the changelog, nothing regarding your issue has been changed. But it might be worth a try anyway.

Error message when you try and re-queue a file you've just edited and saved

[polajoo]

Sorry - I took the fact that the program didn't prompt me to upgrade meant I was running latest.

Just upgraded to 3.0.9.1 and can confirm behaviour is identical.

Error message when you try and re-queue the file for upload is

"Not all items could be requeued for viewing / editing."
File Added: Untitled-1.jpg

Have just seen that you've added that message to the bugs page, but it doesn't tell me where to pick up the logs from.

I've just created a log session, but can't find a .log file or similar in the program files dir.

Where do I pick it up from?

[Alexander Schuch]

A message log is available in the message pane at the upper part of FileZilla. You have to copy and paste the text from there - logging to file is not yet supported.

Ok.

The problem with the log is it does not show the delete operation that is done to the file, or the fact that it has found a file that's due for re-upload, so the log doesn't really show much.

Thanks for reporting. This issue has been fixed in the SVN
repository and will be available with the next version.
