sharpie00 - if you haven't already, maybe try a password on the account rather than leaving it blank. Also verify that your FTP server is on the same port as BeFTP is connecting on. If you are not using WIFI connection you will need your WAN address and forward the port on your router. If you are familiar with all this I apologize.

Kolev, I'm on TMO no BES with a 8310 and I can connect to the FTP site in the software consistently with absolutly no problems...

....

I did notice however I consistently get the following uncaught exception error every time I try to make a new folder on my SD. I didn't know if others are able to create new folders on the SD using your file manager but this is from my exception log... I hope this helps.

Please post your feedback here.

What's new:
- Misc reliability improvements

- Account management: allows creation, deletion and edition of different connection accounts (see below)

- Evaluation mode: while still fully functional (and in fact more functional than
the last release) BeFTP now does NOT save accounts when exiting the program. Users can still connect to any site they want (to the best of the application's ability), but will need to enter the URL every time unless they register.

- Even more connection methods

- Ability to log communication protocol (used for troubleshooting)

- Proper password field

Still isn't working for me. I'm on BIS (no APN access). Any clue?

I am still as of yet, unable to connect with this version. I turned on the logging and it's <empty>.

Not sure what else to try.

You do have Internet access in other applications, don't you?

Did you try all possible connection configurations?

Specifically, TCP and BIS?

Yes, I can access internet with BIS compatible apps, like Jivetalk for example. TCP and BIS didn't work.

Best,
Jaime

Ditto for me. I've tried the various connection methods. Connect fine with other apps (Midpssh, viigo, for example).

Just got an email from my contact at RIM who says BIS-B has port 21 blocked and this is the most likely explanation of what you're seeing.

What carriers were you with again?

Also...we just uploaded yet another build of BeFTP 1.0b especially to confirm that it's a blocked port problem and not something else.

Erase your current distributive, go to the above link, request refresh from the browser and download again.

Run BeFTP, enable logging and try to connect again.

This time you should be able to look at the log while waiting for the connection.

Let us know what it says.

I'm in movistar chile. Sorry to hear that.

This program is extremely wonderful, works perfect for me. The only problem I have is that it is impossible to register. When I click "Proceed to Step 3" I get an error that says:

The following errors have occured.
(5) A Valid amount is required.


Other than that I have had 0 problems. Good job guys.

Music to my ears

Amount is set in place now...$10.

It will likely raise to $14.95 by mid year.

Subject to market conditions, competition and others, of course...

The 1.0 beta fixed my above error when creating folders on my SD.

BELL Mobility
BIS-B

Tried connecting with the latest version. The only message that comes up is, "Wrong Username". However I'm not sure that it's actually logging everything (Unless it only logs the most recent message). I've attempted multiple connections to two servers, and the log never changes (default server, and my own).

Is there any workaround?

You mean to the blocking of port 21?

Not really...one would need a proxy server or will only be able to use FTP which itself operates on a different port number.

We or someone else may offer a proxy, but since that involves traffic I guess it will have to be a paid service.

I can connect to the default site fine, but when I try do access my site- I get the root and when I click on a folder it just refreshes the page. I'd also recommend that you allow multiple profiles to save more ftp sites and such.

I have .91 too. Any ideas?

Wirelessly posted (BlackBerry8320/4.2.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 VendorID/100)

I installed the 1.0 and love the new feature. If iwas to buy it: would I get the latest updates for life? Also when will uploading feature work? And new folder creation-or deleting. Thanks!

While I can't practically guarantee free upgrades for life, I strongly believe you'll be getting free upgrades for quite some time, at least a year from the date of purchase.

With a few notable exceptions the vast majority of our applications have a long history of free upgrades.

Hey Bobby,

Hate to be a pain, but any ideas on the invalid Username? I'm pretty sure my usernames are correct.

Peace,
Jeremy

Other than you entering the incorrect user name, it may be a different FTP protocol flavor than the one currently supported by the program.

What you can do is check the log file and post it here.

BeFTP 1.0 is no longer available for beta download, it is official.

The over-the-air download is still available from our mobile site (mobile.beiks.com) and the desktop distributives should be also available soon through the BeFTP page on our main website.

With BeFTP being used for wireless transmissions, we anticipate and actually push towards installing over the air rather than through a desktop.

Default settings, going against the default sever (Beiks). This is what I always get:

*** Trying to open socket...
*** Connected, authorizing...
*** Wrong username

Bell Mobility, BIS

The connection is being cancelled by your carrier before the FTP server sends anything.
BeFTP first waits for the server to send "220 <welcome text>".
Then sends the username and waits for "331 <text info about password>"
Finally, sends the password and waits for "230 <log-in success message>".
In your case, when BeFTP waits for "220 <...>", you get quickly disconnected. I think we might solve it by sending the username immediately. An update will follow shortly.

What plans do you have to provide external media card support for the BEIKS BlackBerry dictionary databases? Since I moved from an 8703e to the 8830, I no longer have enough available free device memory to load the English Gold Dictionary and the English Thesaurus.

Media card support for the BEIKS dictionaries for BlackBerry is coming soon.

We will be posting an ad for beta testers in the following days.

Is there media card support for the BEIKS dictionaries yet? Specifically, the Bible dictionaries.

Not sure about the other dictionaries, but media card support for Beiks Noah Bible Viewer is available. See this thread: http://www.blackberryforums.com/afte...eader-4-a.html

Very nice program.

It's my understanding that Beiks will be entering into beta testing for their dictionaries on the media card soon! So hold on a bit longer and I am sure they will be available once they finish testing. I have no affiliation with them, but I was in the beta testing for Noah. It didn't take too long once they started the testing for them to make the final release, only a month or so. I have no idea if the dictionaries will be the same, but we can sure hope so.

I, like you, can hardly wait! I can't use any of their dictionaries now, I just don't have the room. I miss some of them from my old Palm days, especally the Bible related ones.

hi i have a bb 8310 and i already download the software, but is not working. I try everything and is not working. I have access to internet with other softwares like Jaime but it cannot connect via BIS nor TCP either.

thanks

Ok, I feel like a complete idiot, since no one else has yet brought this up, but I can't figure out how to choose a destination folder to download to. I have an 8700c, which does not have an options button. Typically a wheel-click does this contextually, but in BeFTP, that instantly opens any selected folder. Ultimately I end up with a single folder view with .. as the only selectable choice. I've tried holding Alt and clicking and using just about every key and key combo I can think of. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks!

Successfully downloaded a pdf from a corporate ftp site onto my AT&T Curve 8330's microSD card using a BES connection. Awesome!

We just uploaded BeFTP 2.1 for BlackBerry to our site for public access and testing.

I've tried everything to get this program to work on my Curve. Has anyone had success in running the program on a 8320 - TMobile. If so, how do I set it up?

As with others, with my BB Pearl 8310 I have had no success connecting to BEIKS FTP client (v1 successfully installed OTA): "Could not connect to the FTP server"

I have enable logging but it is not logging any information (log empty even after dozens of failed attempts).

I have tried all FTP connection methods, to no avail.

However, in my attempt to connect to a test HTTP, I receive the following result:

***Trying to open socket to port 80 of beiks.com
***Socket-connection failure: java.io.IOException: Invalid tunnel name

Now, I received similar java.io errors recently, and resolved this through my carrier, vodafone UK; I am now able to access all websites uninhibited (vodafone UK no longer attempts distinction between its defined permissible sites and the rest). In short, I have open access to all web sites, except via BEIKS FTP.

I would be grateful to learn if there is any setting to adjust, and/or what exact query I need to make to my mobile carrier (vodafone UK) to see if any bar can be removed. Many thanks.

I have a BB Bold. Rogers. No BES. WiFi connected. Ver 1.0 of BeFTP.
I cannot even open Beiks Public FTP. "Could not connect to the FTP server".
I have tried different connection methods, no luck. The same error.
This is a new phone. Have I forgotten to turn something on?

I like some previous posters, have experienced the problem when connecting to a personal ftp server (in my case my home desktop running cerberus ftp server), of it connects, but all you get is the root folder with no files, just the .. to go to the parent folder. I'm pretty sure that this is because the client is attempting a passive connection, which the server doesn't support (Indeed, looking at the log, I saw a PASV command). I've had this same problem with other clients, and I just changed the connection settings to not use passive mode. That doesn't seem to be an option for this client; are there any plans to add this option?

Hi kolev,

Where can I find this version 2.1 for BB ?

At BeFTP site there is only the 1.0 version.

Thanks,
Abel.

I downloaded the free version of Be ftp to my Blackberry 8330. I went to a server that I manage and viewed the files in a folder. (My intention was to see if I could change the name of a file and delete a file. This would allow me to update the index.htm file from the existing version to a new version previously uploaded with a name like indexnew.htm.) Problem was not all files in the folder show up on the menu. Specifically index.htm was not visible although I am certain it exists. What gives?

not quite ready for the storm...but a cool app.
