Not sure as not tried sending an .exe file without archiving it first (using WinRAR), but one in an archive isn't a problem to send

I recently switched to Sygate and since then have had no problems with sending files (both via Messenger and also using File Transfer Plus) so it seem's the problem lies within ZoneAlarm (Great for beginners and those that don't do much more than browsing on the web, but has it's faults - I used it for about 6yr's but realised it was time to go for something that gave me a bit more control) and not the program itself.

The only problem now remaining for me is that the person the other end can still only receive files and not send as they're using ZoneAlarm at present. (It does still load Windows Messenger however [msmsgs.exe] for me aswell so i'd guess that still need's some work? )

Now that it finally work's though i've found it to be an excellent program and recommend it highly!

Thank's RicarDog for your work on it!

Nice idea, The tab feature is always handy in a plug-in.

But I need to get this plug-in to work first

Does it work with the final MSN 7 version + Plus 3.5? If not, please contact me by PM.

Yeah, I've got the same problem. Always I find msmsgs.exe running in the processes after I install File Transfer Plus and sometimes it logges in Windows Messenger and it throws me out from MSN messenger. I hope this problem will be fixed!!!

It's normal to have msgmsgs.exe in the processes, but it shouldn't start Windows Messenger (never happened to me). Are you sure you've set WinMsgr not to start automatically?

---

No, Windows Messenger doesn't start (I can't see it in the taskbar), but the process is running for sure. Will the File Transfer Plus be able to run without this msmsgs.exe running in future? Sometimes I can see the Windows Messenger (You have signed into MSN via another program etc.) above the taskbar, when the copmuter starts. And sometimes when I close MSN Messenger, my account stays signed in (maybe because Windows Messenger signed in or something). I hope that I won't have to see this msmsgs.exe process again in future FTP releases, because I just hate it !

Does File Transfer Plus ignore the blocked ext's in MSN 7 or does MSN 7 not let it trhu?

About ZoneAlarm... I don't recommend it to anyone, even beginners. I've seen that ZA can be actually a security issue. A hacker who starts a DoS attack (like packet storm) against someone with ZA installed will make it hang (100% CPU use), making your computer very slow and the connection will drop. Without ZA, you'll experience lag but it's harder to get your connection dropped.

The plugin will use msmsgs.exe if available in C:\Program Files\Messenger for better integration with MSN Messenger. But it will run as a background process, so it shouldn't signin instead of MSN Messenger.

You can send any file type via File Transfer Plus in MSN 7, the limitation does not apply.

I've got Windows Messenger 5.1 (downloaded it from Microsoft's website). Is FTP fully compactible with this version?

Yes, I have it installed on my computer besides MSN 7 and it works fine.

Yeah, well the problem is that msmsgs.exe (Windows Messenger 5.1) seems to reserve memory even more than msnmsgr.exe (MSN Messenger 7.0). Or maybe it's just a problem to me . Well anyway, should everything work OK, if I delete the msmsgs.exe file? Then File Transfer Plus wouldn't start msmsgs.exe anymore? Or would it be better to uninstall Windows Messenger via Control Panel?

It should work fine if you delete it, but maybe other plugins might not work correctly (also MSN uses it when you ask for Remote Assistance or App Sharing). You can try to rename the folder Program Files\Messenger to Messenger2 and see if everything works fine.

Ok, I have version 1.1.8 running on the current version of msn and plus and here's my problem:

Files wont auto send when I drag and drop in the message window, I need to select send through msn from the popup window. Once that happens, I never get a speed indicator, and even when msn says the file is done the transferplus window still says awaiting connection.

I also get no speed indicator on recieve of files, and it never sorts by contact even though I have that box checked and have selected the default recieve files folder as the place where I want stuff sent. What gives?
