1.0.6 released!
Hey there,
ok, after a debugging session with Sang uk Seong, we managed to finally nail a bug or two.
The problems Sang was having is that ESftp was firstly that ESftp was crashing and just refusing to run at all, we pinned that down to a method called IResource.getRawLocation() which doesnt work on all platforms or versions of eclipse. It works on my machine, but well, it apparently outputs the same as getLocation() on my machine, but on Sangs machine, would output a null IPath on his machine, but getLocation() would output a correct path on both his and my machine, so I swapped to using that method instead
Second bug seemed to fix itself, concerning ESftp settings which would disappear, I can not find the cause of this problem, so I expect it might reappear further on in the development process
Third bug, was that ESftp was returning the wrong string for relative paths, it was chopping out too much of the absolute pathname and making the files upload where they shouldn't have gone, this is now fixed too.
I have to thank Sang for his help in debugging ESftp and i hope he'll be a regular on the bug help list, with the help he's given me, he's top of the squad right now.
Anyone want to try and do better, you're welcome to try!
**PLEASE REMEMBER**
to properly use ESftp, you need two files from my file releases, you need the esftp-<version>.zip AND esftp-lib-<version>.zip, I have noticed that a lot of people are not download this file and probably wondering WHY esftp crashes.
THIS IS WHY. please remember to download both, full instructions on WHICH esftp-lib file to download, are contained in the README file inside every esftp-<version>.zip file.
Thanks again Sang
Chris
