Title

FTP profile and settings disappear after saving session in PASSPORT FTP Client

Product

PASSPORT FTP Client

Issue

After saving my FTP profile settings and exiting the PASSPORT FTP Client.  I noticed that my profile and settings were missing after re-launching the FTP Client.  Where did my saved FTP session go and how can this be resolved?

Solution

This generally occurs on versions prior to 2007-1228 and when you have more than one instance of the FTP client running.  After having two or more FTP sessions open, you exit the last FTP session, which is blank (no profile), and it overwrites the original FTP session (passport.zft file) because it gets saved last.

More Information

This is an issue in the PASSPORT FTP Client prior to version 2007-1228.  This has been corrected in version 2007-1228 and later.
