11.1.1.
When the PORT mode is turned on, and the program is transferring files using
more than one thread, under connection with some FTP servers, if the remote
listing is being refreshed or directory changed (which causes a listing request)
there could be situations when the transfers may fail.
Solutions:
- Use PASV mode where possible (Tools > Options > Connections and transfers).
- Do not refresh the remote listings or change remote directory on heavy
multi-thread transfers in this case
- Use less threads on PORT transfers (Tools > Options > Connections and
transfers).
11.2.
There are a number of options for debugging:
- The last directory listing got is saved into "zz_listing_debug.txt" file
created in the program installation folder.
