Core FTP will no longer connect - launches IE window

KhaosWolfKat · Post by **KhaosWolfKat** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 5:31 am

I have been using CoreFTP for years, and all of the sudden it stopped working correctly.

I will not connect to any sites. It continually says it is "resolving" whichever site, and it keeps launching a mysterious IE browser window pointing to whichever site I am trying to connect to via FTP.

All my settings are the same as they were. I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling. Other FTP programs are working just fine for the same sites, so the problem is with the program, not the sites.

I REALLY prefer Core FTP and want to go back to using it! PLEASE HELP!

Might have something to do with browser integration settings being corrupted.

Go into view -> options -> general -> browser integration -> no

Then exit Core FTP.

Hello there, and thanks for the prompt reply!
Unfortunately, no dice. I followed your instructions, and, on reopening Core FTP, had the exact same results as before.

Any other suggestions?

It sounds like something else is corrupted or a virus has attached itself to the client.

You could try clearing out all Core FTP client registry items
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FTPWare\CoreFTP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FTPWare\CoreFTP

Or maybe try deleting the entire Core FTP installation directory and re-installing.

Deleted EVERYTHING CoreFTP related, cleaned up registry, rebooted, re-downloaded and installed. Same issue.

All my malware and AV progs think my comp is clean. I don't know what the deal is here!

Try installing the latest build and see if there is any difference (1796 at the time of this post).
