I want to set my computer up so that I can d/l a file at night and when I get disconnected from the FTP, I want BPFTP to reconnect to the FTP and AUTO-RESUME. It pops up a window asking me if I want to resume, which is no good if I am not there.

Is it possible to save a file which will have views of the right hand window, the FTP site files and directories and the left view of your computer files and directories of BPFTP?

The files I download are often corrupt. What causes this?

The site I want to connect only accepts a few FTP commands. On connecting BulletProof launches a LIST command, which is not recognize by the FTP site. How can I type commands myself instead letting BulletProof doing it?

When I queue files for download, it loses the path on the remote server where the files are. So, it tries to download from the current directory and, of course, fails.

When I try to upload stuff with BPFTP, it doesnt put the files in the directories its supposed to do.

When I'm downloading or uploading large numbers of files, there seems to be a lot of overhead business going on between each transfer: commands like TYPE A, PORT ..., STOR ..., etc.

When uploading, I always see an error "file not found."

While using two sessions of BPFTP how does the clipboard monitoring function workout which session gets the cut?
