Status: Portable
Saves settings to coreftp.cfg
Stealth: No: writes an empty folder to AppData/Roaming/CoreFTP Might write elsewhere but my test got screwed up *again* ... need to switch from Zsoft over to Sandboxie.

Uniextract doesn't work.

Sorry for the mix up, webfork. Nice job overall, thanks.

No problem ... I got WELL into it before I figured that out Also, the CoreFTP LE program is a nice Plan B if I can't use Filezilla.

I tested Core FTP version 2.2 Build 1881 and webfork's procedure (coreftp.exe -flash) really works and as he has already mentioned this FTP client is not stealth- it writes to AppData- C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\CoreFTP containing an empty data sub-folder plus 7.dir, 8.dir, 9.dir, etc files, which contain information about last visited directories. Settings are saved in coreftp.cfg file and sites- in sites.idx file, but the site manager failed to save all the sites I added and after restart I had to add some of them anew. As far as I could see the LE version allows only one connection per site. The program doesn't support tabs and it cannot be minimized to tray. For me Core FTP LE is an average FTP client which has no advantages over FTP Rush, WinSCP, FileZilla which are better and stealth to boot.

Edit
7-Zip version 16.02 managed to extract the installer (coreftplite64.exe)- my procedure- delete empty coreftp.exe file and rename coreftpu.exe to coreftp.exe.

You could try setting a local variable before launch to trick CoreFTP into saving those folders to program folder... (untested!)

Code: Select all

SETLOCAL
SET APPDATA=%~dp0
coreftp.exe -flash

If setting it local doesn't work, remove the first line and try again...
