Version 3.1 and FireFox 7.0.1

Question

I have an issue with version 3.1 and FireFox 7.0.1 (java 1.6.29). I am using an upload button on a form to start the process. When clicking on the button the control initialises and the file selection dialog box is opened. Once a file is selected nothing else happens. This works OK with IE8 (32bit). The client is Windows 7 64 bit.

The java console logs are

Answer 1

Hi Alastair

I just tried integralftp.com on FireFox 7.0.1 and it worked OK. Can you please post a Java console log of integralftp.com on FireFox?

- Hans (EnterpriseDT)

Answer 2

I tried again after a reboot and the test site does work OK. It looks like I might have v2 rather than 3 so I have tried the latest version and used the uploadcontrol example with no modifications at all.

In FF 7.0.1 this is the java log

No file is uploaded, however in IE8 on the same PC the file is uploaded OK, the log is below - there is quite a difference.

Answer 3

I'm using this url:

http://www.enterprisedt.com/products/in ... ntrol.html

Firefox 7.0.1
Windows 7
Java 1.7.0

After I choose a file with the upload button nothing happens.

Some additional browser issues:
IE 9 crashes when I try to upload something.
Chrome works, but if I open the file upload box and click cancel, it thinks there is a file called nullnull.

Answer 4

Believe it or not Java 7 doesn't support FTP.

We've submitted a bug report to Oracle (see <url=http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7077696>here</url>).

Other links:

• http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6990 ... n-any-idea
• http://podzemski.com/2011/09/12/java-7- ... all-is-on/

The latter link includes a workaround, which I haven't tried:

netsh advfirewall set global StatefulFTP disable

Another option is to use SFTP, which only uses a single socket connection.

Answer 5

Thanks for the reply Hans,

I actually am planning on using sftp.
However, the issues I am encountering are related to the call to promptFile and promptFiles.
The main integralftp site seems to be working fine, it seems to be just this that is breaking.

Thanks!
Jeff

Answer 6

Hi Jeff

Could you please e-mail us at support@enterprisedt.com? I'd like to send you an unreleased version that may fix your problem.

- Hans (EnterpriseDT)

Answer 7

Hans

The test system I am running this on is using Java 6 and the windows firewall is off. However the symptoms are the same as Jeff has with Java 7.

I am trying to get sftp turned on at the server end to see if this makes any difference.

Alastair

Answer 8

If you'd like to try the new version as well then please e-mail me.

- Hans (EnterpriseDT)

Answer 9

Hans

Thanks for the trial version, it has the same issues as the release 4.0.1 version with FF7.0.1. IE8 looks OK, Java version is 1.6r29

The full ftpclient example works OK, it is just the upload example that fails

Thanks

Alastair

Answer 10

I've been testing the same version I sent you with FireFox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 (x64) with Java 1.6.0_26. It works fine for me. The log you sent doesn't really offer any clues. It's strange that the log starts where it does. Did you clear it at some point? Also, he first result is 1000001 - normally it start at 1000000.

It might be worth trying the promptFile method instead of the promptFiles method. To do this change the promptForFiles method in UploadControl.js to:

function promptForFiles(ftpClient) {
ftpClient.promptFile(true, onFileSelected, ftpClient);
}

This will use Java AWT instead of Swing so it basically works completely differently. The downside is that it only allows single selection.
