They do. Here's the whole story.
Someone send me a copy of FTPMGR a deveral days ago and installed it
that got the Light Edition of the program working but not the Pro edition.
(I have to have the Pro Edition because I need the SSH2 support.) But by
then IPSWITCH may have de-activated the Pro version. That would explain why
FTPMGR didn't fix the problem with it. Then I had the same idea that you
suggested so I downloaded and installed a demo version (in a completely
separate directory) but when I installed it and tried it EVERYTHING locked
up. I reset and rebooted and tried the LE version again and it no longer
worked either. That's when I decided to call IPSWITCH and find out why they
hadn't replied to my request for replacement SW. Well, you've already heard
about that! I spent about three days just recovering WS-FTP files and
trying to get it working again but I have finally given up and just erased
all of the WS-FTP files and directories. I'll just have to contact the
various website owner's such as Al and have them create new accounts and
password for me. (Just got a reply from Al a few minutes ago with my new
info.)
I took your suggestion and downloaded and installed SecureFX last night.
