Maybe use a license file, which will be created for every donation, instead of the install.dat for the donation edition?

Hi Zenju,
thx for your explanations, but you didn't help me/us to understand your reason for using this install.dat file at all?

Why not just get rid of it, like in the past?

What's it's necessarity?

Zenju, what is the opportunity of the current portable Version, which is bound to a specific PC? It seems to just narrow down the possibilities without any benefit. I can't follow your idea. Hey Zenju, I'm quoting myself to beg you, to answer my question. Maybe it is helpful for all of us to unders...

Zenju,

I can't follow your idea.

When you dig yourself a little bit in the forum, you will see/read, that you will have to donate for every new version you want to download/use.

In my case, because of the different target FTP servers I need to access, I would need those: - FTP without any encryption - FTP with SSL/TLS (Explicit) But because SFTP already is implemented in FFS, I would also vote to not remove it. Am I right that technically "libeay32.dll" and "...

I just stumbled right now over this thread, and want to mention, why a solution with such a virtual drive does not suffice. I want to use explicitely FTP because of trojan-/virus-safe access. What I did therefor is creating an FTP account which can only write, not read or browse . So I can copy file...

Another important reason, at least for me, but I guess for others also, to support unencrypted FTP soon is: The FTP transfer performance of my local QNAP is very, very slow. When I use an unencrypted connection then it is appr. 10 times faster. So for such/local environments it will be a big improve...

@Zenju: Hm, thats too bad. Because FTP without any encryption isn't implemented/supported, I even can't connect to a local FTP-server for backup purposes. But I agree your opinion, that encrypted connections have to be implemented first, because of security. What do you think, when FTP with SSL will...

Now I also tried to connect to a QNAP-Server. In its configuration I activated "FTP with SSL/TLS (Explicit)". I can connect to it properly when using e.g. the TotalCommander as a client. But with FFS I receive this exception: Fehlercode LIBSSH2_ERROR_TIMEOUT: Failed getting banner (libssh2...

Same problem for me (libssh2_session_handshake), trying connecting to FTP.
