I can open it and it trys to connect. Never shows remote directory and if I click anywhere it goes bye-bye. I do a lot of web work and I really need it for e-bay listings and stuff.

Nice hi-tech description huh.
How do I repair?

if you're using version 2.0.9 then I can't help you really........it works fine on my system.

I do recall having bother using it for the first few times though, but once I figured out what I was doing with it I've had no problems since

It was explained to me how to use and it is simple (you put the info in the top boxes)

But I can not find that post and am having problems again - is anyone using OK with 1.0.4?

From what I remember it is just name of the server eg fred.server.com
the port - usually 21
the name and password you use to log in . . .

I don't even bother to put the port info into mine when I log in.

The part that caught me out was you enter the URL, user name and password ( just TAB between the boxes )........BUT after you've typed your password you must press Enter rather than tabbing to another option. This gets you connected .

Maybe I should have said that it crashes. Just don't like that term.

I use gftp on several other machines and it works fine on them. I don't see it listed anywhere I can remove and add it back. I suppose I could be using it wrong if it is not the same gftp I have been using right along but it looks the same.

Hmm. Works fine in 1.0.4 but I am still having a problem on 1.0.3.

I suppose I can publish with mozilla composer. The only thing that bugs me about that is it re-writes your meta tags to include itself and changes the order.

That reminds me, I have a web emergency. Rolling Eyes
