FTP error - Filezilla crash when drag and drop a file

  • 772

I am having issues both with filezilla and with gftp.

Basically, when I attempt an upload or a download, Filezilla just crashes and closes down, while gftp sometimes says it cannot open the destination folder although what I'm trying to upload is a file.

Any suggestion on how to solve this?

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10

    It's caused by a known (now fixed) bug in wxwidgets. Follow the steps & and the issue should be resolved in no time.

    First, run the following command (only if curl isn't already installed):

    sudo apt-get install curl

    (Everything that follows is mandatory) Then issue this command:

    curl http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -

    Then go to System Settings > Software Sources > "Other Software" tab > click "Add..." and add the following one after the other (or edit /etc/apt/sources.list file):

    deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ natty-wx main
deb-src http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ natty-wx main

    Then run the following commands one after the other:

    sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n

    That's it! You don't even have to restart your PC.

  2. I fixed it by following this guide:

    basically i needed to upgrade/update my wxwidgets

  3. I can say you that is a bug when you drag and drog a file and using gnome-shell.

    just do it the follow :

    • Right click on the file
    • add file to queue

    enter image description here

    then double click on the file in the queue process and process the queue :

    and that is all....

  4. It depends on wxwidgets version. You should install 2.8.12, instead of 2.8.11 provided in Oneiric official repos.
    Find the source on http://wxwidgets.org/ (you'll have to compile it by yourself) or type the following in a terminal:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:n-muench/programs-ppa
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade

    Enjoy!
