Runtime Error with File Transfer

Post by TracyF »

I am getting runtime errors and abnormal termination of vnc viewer when I try to transfer a file. I have suddenly noticed though it didn't happen as long as did not I highlight the file from the remote machine before picking folder on local machine to transfer to.
If I did then the send/receive buttons stay greyed out and soon after the runtime error comes up and it aborts.
So pick file receive and from folders first before highlighting what to transfer. Is this a known bug? :|

both side uvnc 1.0.8.0 ?
with or without encryption
over LAN, WAN (internet), VPN (?
vncviewer quick option = auto ?
if yes, try with vncviewer quick option = medium if over Internet

there no send/receive only separate button

do you send (local to remote)
or
do you receive (remote to local)

Hi

Even with the file transfer running awhile after I got it finally working, it crashed after awhile before completing and got the same runtime error.

Yes there are 2 seperate buttons and I am using the receive button from remote computer to local computer. As I said before they are both greyed out and error occurs unless I pick local computer receive to drive first.

I am wondering if the problem is related to the remote computer going into screen saver and locking out as it uses the "Welcome Screen" with several logons. When doing this I could not make a connection unless someone local at remote computer logged in again. I have changed the logon procedure to NOT using welcome screen and fast user switching and this helped the connection problem.

you can't tranfer file while session switching from user desktop to welcome screen (system) or screen saver
