Filezilla client repeated crashing while uploading

[paulg]

When running the latest 3.8 version, Filezilla client repeatedly crashes. Typically I'll select a bunch of folders containing files to upload (to an FTP system running Filezilla server on Windows 2008 R2) and after a few dozen files, I get the windows popup:

FileZilla FTP Client has stopped working - a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.'.

I've also noticed at times it seems to hang more while connecting to a folder to display contents, with the log panel text indicating it's waiting for the connection.

Downloading files does not seem to cause the same problems; I recently downloaded a load of files from one place without incident, but on uploading them to another destination, encountered repeated problems.

I have tried setting the program to run in Windows 7 compatibility mode, and also to run as Admin (in case was in some way related to permissions) but neither helps.

Here is what gets logged in event viewer:

I installed the 3.7.4.1 version from SF, and this seems to work fine.

I have the same problem. After upgrading to (currently) latest version of filezilla client it started:
A) Crashing
B) Hanging for a while (10-20-30s-ish) sometimes when going through the list of files to upload.

Does it still happen with 3.8.1?

[Tim Kosse]

This is not of critical priority as it does not affect a majority of FileZilla users. Please read instructions on setting priority prior to setting priority.

[Patrik Andersson]

I was running win XP (yeah, I know, outdated....) and now win XP is not supported, so I don't know if the bug is gone or not.

Not sure if this is the same issue, but it crashes about about 4000 files uploading with 3 or 4 transfers active at a time..

Didn't used to have this issue, might just be the current version.

--Not sure if this helps, but I am using the portable version. (upgraded automatically)

Can you please try FileZilla 3.9.x? Maybe the problem just went away the same way it just came around?

I am having the same issue. I am using 3.9.0.2. It seems to happen only on uploads and when there are multiple directories involved.

Here are are my event log details, I cant find any more error details:

Are you by chance using active mode? The fault offset seems to point to a function only called in active mode.

[Tim Kosse]

There's a crash bug introduced in commit 5453 on 2014-03-10, affecting versions 3.8.0-beta1 to 3.9.0.2: ​http://svn.filezilla-project.org/filezilla?view=revision&revision=5453

A fix will be committed to the repository shortly.

Please try tomorrow's 2014-08-07 build from ​http://filezilla-project.org/nightly.php and reopen the ticket if the issue still persists in that nightly.

Yes I am using active mode on that specific connection. I have tried passive mode.

Are there nightly builds for Windows? I don't see it on the link you provided.

This seems to be working with the provided nightly. I dont know if it is related but there seems to be long pauses between file uploads where nothing happens. It would upload a couple of files then just pause for about 10 seconds before continuing.

Thanks for the help!
