RicarDog finally released a MP!Live version of his popular File Transfer Plus plugin!

:: Description, current version and latest release notes ::

• The built-in feature in Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger to send files is very limited and does not use the full available bandwidth for the transfer. The File Transfer Plus script solves these limitations by providing more functionality and features. For a full list of features, wait for a FINAL release or check the feature list in the old File Transfer Plus plugin thread.
  
  
• Current version: 1.1 PR 060830

Does it work if you use the commands /xtpsend and /xtpconfig?

Nope

I've made a change on it which might fix the problem, please download it again. First disable the plugin in Plus! preferences, then restart Messenger, then use the Remove button in Plus! preferences to remove it, then run the plugin installer.

still doesnt work, although looking at debug console and the source, it appears you call fso.Run() instead of Shell.Run() in initialize, changing this fixed it

There is a small error in the scripting on line 33:

Change :

code:

---

fso.Run("regsvr32 /s SSubTmr6.dll");

---

code:

---

fso.Run("regsvr32 /s \""+ sys32 + "\\SSubTmr6.dll\"");

---

Matty, are you sure you are looking at the most recent version?
On line 34 I have:

code:

---

Shell.Run("regsvr32 /s SSubTmr6.dll");

---

When I try to send anything I get File not Found Line 118.

-- Please hold and wait for a new release --

wont work for me. seems to work, but a connection is never made with my contact. he doesnt get the request. both have the script installed

-- Please hold and wait for a new release --

I've released a new version today which should fix all problems encountered so far.

The new version doesn't export . It says error while exporting Script Files(anyways ill fix that for myself Fixed it) The file cannot be overwrited . Also instead of naming the script as File Transfer Plus 1.1 use File Transfer Plus so that one doesn't need to delete the old script while updating to the new one .

I forgot to say that you have to uninstall the script and restart Messenger before updating, that is probably the cause of your problem. Please tell me if it works after that.

I use the version number in the name because the new version won't be compatible with 1.1, so you may have both loaded until everyone upgrades.

Script updated today with more fixes.

Updated August 30th (1.1 PR 060830):

• 1.1 PR 060830
  - Catch events and conditional send are now working again. There are just some minor/cosmetic issues left before the official release.
  
• 1.1 PR 060827
  - Updated so auto-accept list works again. Only "catch events" is still missing from 1.1, which will be done in the next update.

argh, it's very frustrating to not see any other people with this problem. It just doesn't work here. After i installed the program msn is still the same, nothing changed. Those options that are spoken off aren't there and i wonder why. It's like it isn't installed. I did it exactly as how it's written and in the help file there is nothing about this. Maybe because i recently updated live to a newer version and it's not supported? help me out please

Windows version? Windows live messenger version? Msgplus Live version?

That's not what I mean...
What version of Windows are you using etc...
Typ (!VER) in a conversation window and copy paste the result here. Like this:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0812
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0812
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240

Did you install it correctly?

Did you get this screen?

You got the wrong version then. TransferPlusSetup11RELEASE.exe is for MSN Messenger 7 and Msgplus 3. Go to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Software and remove the File Transfer Plus 1.1.

Then download the SCRIPT using this link:
http://www.filetransferplus.com/pre/FileTransferPlus060830.plsc

(NOTE: make sure you download it as an PLSC file. If you use Internet Explorer, it will suggest to download it as a zip file. If that happens select save as all files in the save dialog window and add .plsc to the file name)

Thank you so much Markus, it works now Do i send files just like i did before?

Fantastic script, i never used the plug-in, but now i sure wish i did

There is still an issue when using multiple accounts in WLM.

When a user logged out, before you logged in, FT+ is not working correctly. It shows the email address of the user who was logged on before you on the "From: *****@hotmail.com"-line when you try to send a file. The other person however will be able to receive that file. When someone else tries to send you a file the FT+ window won't pop up.

A workaround is to restart WLM.

Exelent plugin!
Though, there are some strange things going on...
I couldnt reproduce it, but my buddy is having issue when he has to manualy send "message" about the file in order to send a file. (Normaly when you send a file, you see some details about the transaction (filename, size, IP, etc), he see these details, but not in the message window, but in the message input field, and he has to hit ENTER button before the file sending begin)
After some testing the settings, he came to conclusion that if he uncheck the "Encrypt IP" checkbox, this issue comes up, once its ticked, no such issue...

Another problem we've experienced during our tests, is that the applet dies when a text file renamed as .avi (create a new text file, type someting in it, then rename extension to .avi)


Now, if I may, I'd like to request something.
Since this plugin can save files in different folders, its a good idea leave the download window opened after the transfer, so you can click on open or open folder button. But, when you send something, it also leave window opened - that I'd like to see changed, because there are not much chance one would need to open that file or folder...

Thank you very much for this exelent plugin!

P.S. why does this plugin uses two different registry paths to store settings?

I can't consistently reproduce the message issue. I've seen it before but only when using passive mode. Is he typing the send command directly or clicking on Send File menu item?

I'll try to reproduce the .avi error when I get home.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm adding it on the next version 1.2!

The different registry paths are used for backwards compatibility with Plus! 3 and previous versions of the plugin. This will be fixed in the next version.
