File transfer constantly fails to change directories and windows size

Hello Alan,

Please, try the following:

1. Fully exit the Viewer (File -> Exit).

2. Locate the file config_4.xml in the Remote Utilities Viewer %appdata% folder.

3. Remove the file from that folder. Send the file to us for examination at support@remote-utilities.com . This file doesn't contain any sensitive data, just your license information and Viewer settings. We want to check if it was corrupted somehow.

4. Start the Viewer. It should re-create the file again, you will need to re-enter your license key.

5. Start the File Transfer mode, resize its window to your liking, then close the Viewer and again open it and start the File Transfer mode. The program must remember the size that you set the last time.

Thanks.

Hello Eric,

Please, try solutions listed on this page. The "Use legacy capture mode" option can help in this situation.

P.S. If you are a PRO customer you can raise your support level from Basic to Pro. Learn more about support levels.

Thanks.

Hello Dion,

Thank you for your message.

A specific Internet access connection type (Wifi, broadband etc.) has nothing to do with program's connectivity except only it's a very slow network. Usually, but not always, mobile Internet access is slower than other access types such as a regular ISP or a WiFi hotspot.

By the way, what connection type you use - direct connection or Internet-ID connection?

Hello Alan,

Thank you for your message.

I am using 6.9.1.0 viewer and when trying to do any file transfers with remote computers, the file transfer window is MASSIVE. Now on my computer setup I have 2 4K monitors, one is horizontal, one is vertical, and a 1080p monitor as well. The window shows up spanning multiple monitors and much be resized to see the entire window so you can see buttons and such.

Does this happen each time you start a File Transfer mode session? I.e. it doesn't remember the size that you set.

Additionally, I have a very hard time navigating to directories, I constantly get errors, then after trying a few times it might work. Sometimes I have to just use Remote Utilities to initiate a VNC session so I can do file transfers it has gotten so bad.

This is a known issue, specifically the issue with slow folder browsing in File Transfer mode. Later this year we are going to significantly re-write the File Transfer module and will fix these issues, and also add a couple of useful features.

Hello Rick,

Thank you for your message.

This feature has been on our wish list for a while. Most likely we will implement it in the near future.

Hi Bill,

Please, try the solutions listed on this page https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/full-control-and-view-mode-isn-t-working-or-is-unstable/ . If it doesn't work, update your Host to the recent beta version and see if it makes the difference. You can download the beta from here https://www.remoteutilities.com/download/beta.php

Currently, It's so hard connect my hosts. This issue can be my DNS server ?

Hello Pedro,

This topic discussion is about the use of self-hosted server.  From your log I can see that you use the public server for your Internet-ID connection. In this case please refer to this Internet-ID connection troubleshooting guide https://www.remoteutilities.com/support/kb/cannot-connect-using-internet-id-connection/  

Hope that helps.

Hi Nick,

We already sent a report to Microsoft and they said that they fixed it. Could you please try updating your Windows Defender signature bases and see if the issue persists.

Thanks.

I am seeing online this is a common problem with your application, and has been for quite awhile, is there any plans for fix this, or to help use determine what needs to be done to stop these disconnects? I really like your product, however, I would not even entertain the idea of purchasing it when the time comes that I get over 10 clients. Unfortunately, I would have to go with "the other guy"

Hello,

We received the log, thank you. However, the log shows connection attempts to our public server (id.remoteutilities.com) rather than any self-hosted server address. This discussion is about self-hosted server.

Still, even if you use the public server I can see that the Host has issues connecting to the server. There is socket error #11004. Here is from Microsoft site:

WSANO_DATA
11004
Valid name, no data record of requested type.
The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for. The usual example for this is a host name-to-address translation attempt (using gethostbyname or WSAAsyncGetHostByName) which uses the DNS (Domain Name Server). An MX record is returned but no A record—indicating the host itself exists, but is not directly reachable.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms740668(v=vs.85).aspx

Please, check that the dns name of the server is resolved properly on the Host computer. I recommend flushing the dns cache and also check your network settings, e.g. set Google DNS servers instead of your ISPs in your TCP/IP properties.

Hope that helps.
