New file Save as Url

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Wed Jun 01, 2005 9:03 pm

In the latest version if Zeus, when I create a new file then select File->Save as URL, and save to a directory on one of my pre configured hosts, Zeus will crash.

I've confirmed this happens on more then just my machine.

Zeus does not seem to have a problem saving to a file that already exists, only when I am trying to save a new file onto the ftp host.

Thank you for the bug report. This should be an easy bug to fix, so it should be fixed in the next release.

Unfortunately I was not able to replicate this crash

By creating a new file and using the File, Save as URL menu I was able to save this file to the Zeus ftp server.

I also repeated the test with debugging enabled (ie using the Options Editor Options menu and enabling the help debug tools and macros option) which resulted in the following information being logged in the Macro Debug window:

So for me the save as URL worked just fine

Can you tell me which version of Zeus are you running?

If you repeat the test above, at what point in the file save as does Zeus crash?

Jussi,

I'm running version 3.94a

I have 'help debug tools and macros' checked under the general tab, but I'm not getting debug like yours, is there something else I need to do?

,Nihal

Here is some output from the ZeusErr.log when it crashes:

From the ouput trace the error reported is a call stack overflow which suggests to me Zeus has entered some sort of recursive infinite loop. But the bigger question is why is this happening

and why can I not reproduce the same bug

So for me to have any chance of trying to replicate the crash I need to know a few more details. For example:

In the FTP Host Section what is the host name you enter?
In the FTP Host Section do you use a proxy server?
In the FTP Host Section do you use a port number?
In the FTP Host Section do you use an initialisation string?
What are the states of the FTP Host logon, binary and write as unix options?
Are you using FTP or SFTP protcol?
Finally what is the file name that you enter in Save As URL dialog entry field?

Cheers Jussi

1. newrunque (I have this configured in my windows hosts file to a local IP address 192.168.1.x) But I've also tried it with a dns resolvable host name.
2. No proxy server
3. I've left the port blank
4. No init string
5. [x] write as unix file, [x] Binary file transfer, [ ] prompt for logon
6. I've tried it with both ftp and sftp.

Could there be some part of the old version of Zeus overlapping with this latest install? I will uninstall/reinstall zeus and see if that helps.

Sadly the uninstall/reinstall didnt work.

I'm not sure where else I should look. I just did a fresh install of windows about a week ago, and ran all available updates...

Let me know if you have any other suggestions or need more info.
And thanks again for the help Jussi.

To further analyse this ftp problem the following test was run:

This open source ftp server was downloaded: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/indi ... e?download
This directory was created: d:\temp\ftp
The indiftpd.exe file was copied into this directory
The server was started with this command line: indiftpd.exe -L 6
The Zeus 3.94a was run
A new file was created
The File Save As URL menu was used to save the file to ftp://localhost/test.txt

And the good news is on this occasion Zeus did crash

So the lastest build of the xnet.dll was used THE TEST REPEATED and this time the file was saved just fine, producing the following FTP server trace output:

D:\temp\ftp>indiftpd.exe -L 6

So the good news is it looks like there might be something wrong with the 3.94a xNet.dll

To test this theory please make a backup of the xNet.dll and download this replacement http://www.zeusedit.com/z300/xnet.zip dll.

That did the trick.

Thanks Jussi
