HOWTO: Test File-Transfer of BPFTP Client

Sometimes, we’re just not sure why you can’t download a file from an ftp-server to your local-computer. In order to test this, please follow the below steps that will allow you to connect to a test ftp-server, navigate to a file on the ftp-server and download a file from the ftp-server to your local computer. This test allows us to isolate the program to a known ftp-server with files that we know you can successfully download.

  1. The current version is 2010.75.0.76. You should have this installed and running, it can be confirmed by “Help -> About BulletProof FTP Client…”. The important line reads “Engine: 2010.75.0.76″
