I am running windows xp (sp2) and have several drive letters mapped to a debian linux samba server (mine). Every thing runs smoothly in all apps.

When I open SftpDrive and connect to another linux server (work), I run into problems
Browsing the samba connections in explorer.exe works just fine.
Doing a "net use" from the command prompt looks fine for both types of mappings.
From the command prompt I can switch to the SftpDrive mapping just fine.
However, trying to switch to the samba drives from the command propert fails with an error mesage of "The system cannot find the drive specified."

I have verified this on the only two windows xp machines I have installed the SftpDrive trial version on.

Anything further requires a reboot.
After I "disconnect" the SftpDrive, I still cannot access the drive
After I quit SftpDrive, I still cannot access the drive
I can "net use /del [drive]" succesfully, but the drive does not disappear until I reboot.

As another test, I created a drive mapping between my two workstations. This connection works just fine. Note: I was connected to SftpDrive at the time. I disconnected the SftpDrive map, quit, reconnected, and tried to access the XP mapping. It continues to work.

As another test, while connected with SftpDrive, I tried mapping a new samba connection. This worked and I have command prompt access. But the samba mappings which were open first, still do not work. So order matters. Disconnect SftpDrive map, quit, reconnect, and the new samba mapping stops working.

We recently recreated one of our servers previously BSD, now Fedora. The IP and logins are all the same, but the host keys have changed. Now, when trying to connect SftpDrive, it just locks up during the connection process. I'm assuming it's due to invalid host keys, but there's no information. Where are the keys stored for SftpDrive and how would I go about deleting an entry? We tried deleting and re-creating the login account, but that didn't help.

Sftpdrive is not connecting, getting stuck on "exchanging SSH versions"

Hi Guys,

Apologies if this is easy - I haven't noticed it thus far in support forums.

When attempting to drop any file intot the sftp repository, I get the following error: "cannot copy the volume for a file has been externally altered so that the opened file is no longer valid". I can create files directly within the repository. I have checked NTFS permissions and it's Modify across the board... Any suggestions?

We have downloaded your SFTPDRIVE 1.7.9 product and are testing it. It works find when accessing the drive in Windows Explorer. However, we are having trouble with it when using the drive with Oracle Forms. Oracle Forms uses a registry entry 'Forms60_path' indicating the path for attached libraries Forms needs. We are using the drive letter defined in SFTPDrive as part of the path. When opening an existing Form, Forms loads for about 3 minutes and then displays a number of attached libraries it cannot find. However, the libraries appear to have been attached correctly.

Can you help?

Thanks.

TortoiseSVN doesn't seems to work correctly with sftpdrive. We use Samba at the moment, but would like to test sftpdrive for some task.

The problem is when committing with TortoiseSVN, a lock is set on the directory and it doesn't get removed (unlocked). Once lock the only way to unlock it is to use the "Clean up" command of TortoiseSVN but on the Samba drive, 'cause the sftpdrive isn't able to unlocked it.
